55We loved this Sniffspot! Grace was such a gracious host and made us feel very welcome when we arrived. The property was huge and had tons of space for my dog and I to roam around for 2 solid hours. It was also the perfect place for us to practice our trail manners in a safe environment. Per the listing’s description we did hear gunshots from the neighboring properties (hunting! Don’t worry!) and it was an amazing training opportunity for us. We will definitely be back!Najla H.

55This was our second time at this spot and our dog absolutely loved it. He ran around like crazy and even jumped in the water today - he is not a water dog. Tired himself out in about 45 minutes and let us know he was ready to go. we love it here so much that we booked our next visit while still there. Thank you Grace for sharing your little piece of heaven with us!!! Lisa R.

55Grace is an incredibly sweet and considerate host! She had a welcome sign, greeted us, navigated us through the property and even gave us treats for the ride home! She is truly the best! The space is amazing, so many trails to follow. My dogs had such a blast!Chloe B.

55Super easy to find, clearly marked parking spot and entry into area. Grace is delightful and spoils her guests with balls to throw for the doggies and access to her cute goats for a visit. No need to bring water for doggies, there is a beautiful stream running thru. The gorgeous woodland is an amusement park for dogs and very special spot for nature lovers. It is nicely secluded and private with many different areas to explore, an absolute treasure! We’ll be back with a picnic and more time to spend VERY soon!Kristin s.

55Another great visit! This is definitely our favorite sniff spot, already booked again. Lots of space to run off leash and fully fenced so don't have to worry as we work on recall. I forgot to bring water and a bowl this time but Host had water and a bowl available, very thoughtful. Thanks again for sharing your lovely property, we look forward to many future visits.Teresa W.

55This spot is incredible! The pups loved romping in the creek, exploring some trails, and getting muddy! There are some very steep areas and a few parts that could become slippery after rain. Grace was so kind and greeted us and showed us the area. We had a blast and can't wait to return! Thank you!!Allisyn R.

55Absolutely incredible location! The hike up the steep mountain is totally worth the gorgeous open areas for playing with your dogs. The stream is perfect for cooling off and washing off the mud from the adjacent mudpit. The dogs were very happy and tired! Christine S.

FAQ about our Courtenay dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, with Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How can I find dog agility parks in Courtenay?
There are 2 dog agility parks in the Courtenay area. The most popular dog agility park is Bev's Private Dog Park In Courtenay. You can browse all of our dog agility parks here.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
