55Excellent experience. First time here.
It’s clean. There’s water station, potty bags & trash station, treat boxes with cleaning supplies, benches to sit/rest. We loved it. And of course, our doggie’s ‘dream come true’ hour in 4 acres, since he’s an apartment dog. Will be sure to return for more sniffaris! :)George A.

55Wonderful area. It’s very secluded and quiet. There’s plenty of space for the dogs to run around or to take a shaded break. We will definitely be back:) Audra W.

55This is such an awesome place! Our dog is a runner so being able to let him run and knowing he couldn't escape was amazing. He thoroughly enjoyed it and we did too. Bit of a hike up the hill, so you both get some exercise. There was water, clean up bags, tennis balls to play with and it was clean! We happened to run into the owners, and they were so nice, friendly and helpful. All around a great experience.Holly E.

55We had a fantastic time exploring with our dogs! The property was very well maintained and had fresh water, potty bags/bins, toys, and seating available (seemingly) around every turn. This was our first Sniff Spot experience and we fear we’ve been spoiled by how wonderful this property was! We will be back :)Kathryn O.

55If I could give it 10 stars I would. Beautiful hike up to the top. Luna is usually bored within 20 minutes to 1/2 hour but she was happy the entire time, sniffing and running. We are booking again for sure Kathleen J.

55This is truly a wonderful place. We were lucky enough to meet Rick, he sure loves dogs and cares deeply about this dog friends and human friends. So many wonderful touches. Clean water. Poop bags. Trash for poo. Picnic tables even a adult potty. I loved that we used the lock they provide so we know no one could accidentally open the gate and our dogs get out. I love that layer of security. This is absolutely worth it. We wil be back while we are here visiting for next 2 weeks. Nikki B.

55I loved the views and my Nova Girl loved the sniffing and being off the leash! Also, the benches and multiple water stations for my dog were a bonus. Tami D.

55Loved this Sniffspot! It was my first ever Sniffspot with my dog and with her being newly rescued and still a bit nervous it was awesome to have somewhere to walk where we didn’t have to encounter anyone else. Water was much appreciated, and the whole area was very clean and tidy. I would warn people that it definitely is a very steep trail and not for the faint of heart, but was a great 4th of July morning walk!Ashley F.

55I wasn’t feeling up to the full hike today, but Cosmo loved rummaging around for tennis balls in the tall grass. Beautiful spot. We’ll be back at some point to follow it all the way up. Found some good shady spots for rest and the first water station isn’t too far up. Amanda C.

55A great off leash experience for me and my dog! It was her first time truly exploring an open area like that, and what a great choice! There were plenty of shaded benches all along the various paths stocked with water and treats, extra poop bags and trash cans in multiple spots, as well as great views of the rolling hills around the property. There’s a pretty steep hill right at the beginning, but I promise it’s WORTH it! Ben F.

55Getting to the sniffspot was as everything was marked easily. There was plenty of marked parking as well. They provided me my own lock to use for future visits! They also have benches and water igloos scattered throughout the trails inside so that we didn't have to hike back to get water! Overall a super thoughtful host!Grace L.

55Such a lovely place. They truly think of everything you might need in each of their three sniff spots. We loved this trail and that there was still an area to play fetch as well. Carol even brought us out some fresh eggs to take. Such a kind gesture, we will always come back!Maya J.

FAQ about our Saint John 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.
Are 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 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Saint John area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 34 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 2 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
