55George was waiting for me at the entrance to the property to show me where to park, and provided me with a map of his property. He is very nice! He did tell me that there is a neighbour who often walks the trails, so I kept my human reactive boy on leash. We ran into her about 20 mins in and she is also lovely and understanding of being barked at. If you have a human reactive dog I would keep this in mind!
The trails throughout the property were easy to follow and my dogs liked the stream to play in. We will definitely be back! Micheala O.

55This was my first time at George’s park and not my last. I was a beautiful forest and so relaxing to know that there were no dogs coming around the corner. George is a great host, He provides a map and even a container to drop off your poo bagsSherri W.

55What a wonderful experience. Our first time we were greeted at the entrance and immediately felt welcome. The map was super helpful and we could have gone for hours. Booked an hour, will probably do 1.5 or 2 next time to really stretch our legs.Michael B.

55The best spot! George is very friendly and welcoming, as he meets you to give you a map and explain the trails on the property. The trails are amazing! Our dog absolutely loved the trails. We spent 2.5 hours here after looking at the reviews and it was a great amount of time to see it all and take your time. My dog was off leash and didn’t have an issue, but she has good recall. There are some fast areas of the creek I’d watch extra careful maybe leash curious dogs. Kaysha M.

55This spot is our favourite! George met us and shared a map of the trails. The trails were flat so easy to walk and there’s a few landmarks to orient yourself while you wander. Lovely forested area with a great river/creek running through it - pretty fast moving in spots. Perfect spot for our dog and us! Sherry H.

55As everyone else has mentioned, George is kind, provides a map and gives the lay of the land. My dog, who is reactive toward other dogs, has a high prey drive and poor recall when squirrels and such are nearby, had the best time running in the mud and following all the trails. We booked two hours as others suggested and found it to be plenty of time to wander around, get lost and find our way back. Sharise H.

55A perfect place to take our dog and person reactive pup for a walk. We rarely get to see her be so relaxed and enjoying herself. The trails are well cared for and the owner provided a map that was super helpful. Thank you George for opening up your beautiful property to us!Hayley F.

55It was a great 1st visit, the pups
Expended alot of energy and even played in the creek a bit. Lots of areas to explore. George was very friendly and met us at the driveway. We drove past him as gps said we still had a bit to go, if you end up at the forest service road turn aroundKim C.

55Georges place is so perfect. Truly, this was a dream for my boys and I! We met George at the end of his road and he guided us to the trail head. He’s a wonderful man. He provided me with a map and some suggestions on where to go - providing some tips for extra fun:) We only went for the 1 hour because it was our first visit, but please, do know that you could spend hours upon hours exploring the area! There are several creeks, lots and lots of trails! A small lake/pond and so many smells. We even saw an owl! (I put the little one back on his leash after that 😉) during our adventure we experienced the happiest sense of freedom that my sweet pups could ever have. I haven’t seen a big smile in either of their furry faces since we were at the beach this past summer. We’ve had a few incidents’s with off leash dogs in our neighborhood, so we’re not so relaxed when we go for our walks. This Sniffspot was great for us. No other dogs, no other people, just us. It was brilliant and I cannot wait to go back again. I absolutely recommend taking your pups for a walk about at George’s. Kirstin D.

55This was our first time using a sniff spot - my boys are easily distracted and they have very high prey drive. Because of this, we did find it difficult to enjoy the space fully, because of the chickens on the property - the chickens were in a pen, but my dogs just couldn’t help but focus on them - I spent a lot of my time putting them back on leash and removing them from the area. For anyone who has dogs that aren’t used to chickens, or are prey driven, just note that you may spend a good portion of time distracting them from those fixations. All in all, I love the idea of the sniff spots and I think this place would be good for anyone whose pups don’t care about other critters. I do recommend Sama’s for sure.Kirstin D.

FAQ about our Ladysmith dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
