55LOKI and I had a wonderful time! It was so nice to be able to let him "dog" without having to worry about him. He loved all the new smells and sounds. It was a very hot day but we had an evening slot and there was plenty of shade. Samantha C.

55What an absolutely wonderful spot! We stopped on a trip from Seattle to Seabrook and it was the perfect tiny detour! The spot is secure and safe - great fencing, really useful signage, toys, water - had it not been a hot and smoky day we would have never left! The horses and hogs and other critters are darling. My Pyr and one of the horses were hilarious together - pacing each other on the fence and getting all their sniffs in. The host is lovely and super communicative and extra props for the super clean on-site portable. Can’t wait to come again! Lori M.

55Always a fun time with the pack here. If we are lucky the queen of the mud will grace our visit. The pack always has much to say to the mud queen. Holden K.

55We and our dogs love this spot! There is a picnic table to set our things on and to sit at if we wish, and benches in shady spots around the grounds. There are two large bowls of fresh water, one by the fence and one under the picnic table for the dogs, as well as an animal trough for the dogs to cool off in and a larger pool if they're brave enough to get into it. There's plenty of room for them to run comma and on the other side of the fence, they get to see goats, horses, donkeys, and other animals which they really enjoy. It's Worth the half hour drive to get there. Lin S.

55We had a great time at Dexter's Bark Park. The straw barn with all the smells turned out to be the highlight. A great spot to sniff and relax after zoomies. The soaking bin was perfect. Careful with the big pool. Our girl jumped in without hesitation but couldn't figure out how to get out even with the step provided. Overall great spot. We will be back!Tiffany P.

55Dexter's is fabulous. A beautiful rural setting. Lots of wide open FENCED space for pups to run, sprint & frolic!
Stimulating! Enriching! Social, attimes talkative, farm critters in adjoining FENCED pastures( goats/sheep/horses & piggy). Our dogs had a blast! So tired they took time to sit out in the field and enjoy the scenery.
THANK YOU for sharing this amazing space with us and our critters. Cheers!Jason, Cate & Beth R.

55We always enjoy going to Dexter's. It is well fenced and has fresh water for the dogs, a garbage can for waste, lots of area to run, and toys to play with. My three are also fascinated by the farm animals in surrounding fields. We go whenever we can!Lin S.

55We had a great time visiting Dexter's Bark Park! The space was safe and secure, plenty of toys, a seasonal pond, and trees to give the humans a place to get out of the rain. It was easy to access, big enough for the dogs to run full speed, small enough that they were always in our sight. Melissa was very responsive. We'll be back for sure! I also like that I can donate a little extra to sponsor a trip to the park for shelter dogs while also supporting the sanctuary with a fun rainy day activity. Thanks Melissa!Emma O.

55My dogs LOVED this sniff spot. This was the first time they were able to be off-leash. The area was completely enclosed and we didn't mind letting our dogs roam wherever they pleased. Daisy particularly loved all of the farm sensory items like the sheep's wool and peacock feathers. We will definitely be coming back! Meghan R.

55Dexter's Bark Park is our favorite sniff spot so far. It's big enough that all three dogs had plenty of room to run and plenty of water to both drink and cool off in. It also has shady spots for us. Thanks for making it available 💜Lin S.

55My dogs LOVE coming here! So much room to run and the pigs were frolicking along with my dogs! They loved playing in the giant puddle/winter pond including my dog who hates water. They pretty much slept the rest of the day after we got home. A win for me!Karen F.

FAQ about our Oakville 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.
How can I find dog fields in Oakville?
There are 39 dog fields in the Oakville area. The most popular dog field is Dexter's Bark Park. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
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 Oakville area range from $8.0 and $8.0. The least expensive dog field is Ballard Puptopia. The most expensive dog field is Ballard Puptopia. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
