55Easily the best SniffSpot we've tried so far - acres of beautiful trails, with lots of spots for splashing in the creek, and several comfortable benches scattered throughout the property to rest on while your pup paddles and explores.
I brought a ball but left it in the car, as our dog was having far too much fun relocating and remodeling the various sticks found along the trails to have any interest in toys.
It was a pleasure to meet George, and he very kindly showed us around the trails before turning us loose. I can't thank him enough for sharing his incredible property with SniffSpot users. My dog is very happy and will sleep extremely well tonight!Heather R.

55George's property is SO beautiful!!! Our pups had the best time! Lots of places to stop at the stream, little waterfalls, some deep calm spots to swim and play. Cleared paths to walk and spots to sit and enjoy the magical forest.
George was such a pleasure to meet, he gave us a map to go explore with and gave us detailed information about his property and where we could go. We plan to visit often. Highly recommend!! Definitely our favorite!!
Thank you for sharing your land with us George! Candace H.

55I have been blessed to be coming here for years. It is my favorite spot ever to come for a walk. As someone that works with dogs it is nice to have some private walk time with just my buddy Trip who posed for the photos:)
Even if I didn't have a dog, I would pay to come here!Cheryl H.

55Awesome place to bring your dogs! We will be back!! We especially loved the running streams and little waterfalls. Very refreshing and fun for the dogs on a warm day! We kept our dogs on long lines as the rocks can be slippery and there are some deep spots. Thank you George for meeting us and providing a map for our hike!

55Wow, what an experience! I can’t recommend this place enough. My dog ran and swam for an hour and a half straight and loved every minute. It is a wonderful trail network and George is incredibly helpful and very kind. Would be a dream to have property like this some day. I can not wait to bring my pups back next island visit. Thanks so much again! Paradise is your backyard 🌲🌲🌲Kristina D.

55Such a great property to explore! The map supplied was comforting to have, knowing you won’t get lost. There are so many different trails to explore my dog loved it and was so comfortable being able to roam on his own. The creek was great, my dog doesn’t usually like water but he even took a little dip. Cailin O.

55George's private dog park in Ladysmith is a little paradise. First, we were warmly welcomed by George, who even gave us a small map to help us navigate the maze of trails on his vast property. Then we explored the park with its lush vegetation and stream. The dogs loved it! I went with my Aussie, Victoria— a monster mixed with a gremlin—and her two friends, a tall Weimaraner named Hazel and Penny, a little dog from Mexico. Those three had the best hour of their lives. They got to live their doggie lives to the fullest. We, the owners, were relaxed; we didn't have to think about bikes, joggers, or motorcycles. We had the place to ourselves, and it was fantastic. Thank you to George and his wife for letting us enjoy their forest. It is truly appreciated, and we will be back.Isabelle D.

55Amazing property! George is a wonderful host, who very kindly talked to us about his property. The map provided was excellent and a great help, along the various signs around the property marking the landmarks. My pup loved it and so did I. Gorgeous!
We stopped here to break the drive from up to down Island. Booked 2h and got to see most of it but you could easily spend more time exploring all the smaller trails. Can't wait to come back!Raphaelle M.

FAQ about our Ladysmith dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends 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. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Ladysmith area range from $9.0 and $9.0. The least expensive dog field is Big Ole Yard. The most expensive dog field is Big Ole Yard. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
