55Loved this sniffspot, favorite by far! We came here to test out how our pup does off leash in the forest since we plan on camping and backpacking with him and this provided the perfect environment for that. It’s not often you find a secluded, dog-friendly (and fenced) mini forest park like this one. Grace, the host, is friendly and was really helpful! Hannah F.

55We needed a safe space to practice recall and off leash walking with our pups. Everything was great and lots of areas to let the dogs explore. I also really liked the areas with benches and that were a bit more enclosed so I could practice with the off leash. Really great spot and the host was really nice. Beautiful and relaxing spot to let the dogs have fun exploring. I also really liked that there wasn’t anything close by like people or other animals that my reactive pup would notice. Great spot over all! Also has outhouses that were really nice in case you stay for awhile. The dogs also liked the little creek to cool off in.Trinity M.

55Great sniff spot. Our dog loves checking out the wetlands, chasing squirrels up trees and bouncing through the ferns. Extra balls and water always available just in case. Thanks Grace !Klaas L.

55Oh my gosh, we just love it here!! Grace is the most amazing hostess...so responsive to messages and incredibly attentive to her guests in every way. We included a message with our reservation and Grace responded right away. Upon arriving we found a sweet personalized greeting on a dry eraser board and a variety of toys. We felt so welcome! The spot itself is gorgeous...a huge woodsy area with lots of trails and a creek. Cooper and I both had such an amazing time! When we got back to the car we found a little treat for both of us on the car door and it made us both so happy on the long drive home. Really outstanding experience all around and we cannot wait to be back. Thank you Grace!!! ♥Susan D.

55So happy to find this little gem. It makes for a quick easily accessible place to explore and sniff out for my pups. Very easy to get to, close to the highway, spot is secluded and parking is a few feet away from the spot, which I love. Spot was clean, secure, and safe. Host provided water, waste bags and bin, and toys. We did a bunch of scent work and tracking while at the spot. We look forward to visiting again. Sadaf H.

55Thank you so much for sharing your backyard with my family! Our dog, Baldr had a great time. He’s a small dog and this was a grand adventure for him. He got to have his zoomies and so many sniffs! He did try to go behind the sheds but it was secure. He also had a few moments where he could not understand why no one was letting him into the house 😂
Now that we have returned home, he has promptly fallen asleep on the couch. A true success!
We will be booking again very soon!Renee M.

FAQ about our Saanichton small dog parks
Are small dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Saanichton?
There are 31 small dog parks in the Saanichton area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
