55Very nice private trail that leads to a large well maintained grass field that was perfect for playing fetch. The trail was a loop with the grass field in the middle.
My one dog was off leash nearly the entire time, with the bush on either side of the trail and surrounding the grass field acting as a fence, although my puppy stayed on a long line as she's not as trustworthy. Really nice place for an off leash walk and a game of fetch. Allie l.

55Very beautiful space with a very welcoming host.
My sister and I brought our two large dogs to Ireland Private Dog Farm and they had a blast. Lots of open space for them to wrestle and run. We walked around the trail and the dogs enjoyed a dip in the pond afterwards.
Alicia was a very welcoming host and was quick to answer a question I had.
We will definitely be returning!Leah M.

55Visited here today, my dogs had a great time. This was the first time visiting a "Sniff Spot" location. I have two large German shepherds and they are both very Reactive towards other dogs. Finding a private place with no other dogs or people is very important to us. Thank you for your hospitality 🐶💕Laura L.

55This is a great spot- lots of interesting paths and things to explore. Alicia left a water bowl out for us and gave nice clear instructions regarding where to park and we felt completely safe to let our dog off leash and explore freely. Jen P.

55Wonderful place to take my reactive girl Miss Scarlett. She has a great time exploring and sniffing around. She even got some off leash time which she doesn’t normally get. We will definitely be back… next time maybe we will use the fire pit!! Angela R.

55Overall, it was awesome! Quite a few trails to amble on, both in the woods and out in the open. A few creeks running hither and yon throughout, and “Trail’s End” signs let you know when you were about to enter someone else’s property. Best feature for my 3 dog crew was the large, clean pond — many sticks and balls were thrown and retrieved! They came out wet, but not “mud monsters”!
Only suggestion would be a sign as to where to park, as it didn’t seem obvious to me. (Course, I’m good at missing things, so maybe it was there!)
We give it 5 paws up! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾Heather C.

55Great space - incredible signage and the app directions were spot on. Loved all the adventure options. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the dog park because there is so much to do. Such a well appointed safe space to play and have fun in. Can’t wait to go back! Niki M.

55Lovely property to explore! Fenced area is small but big enough to run and play fetch. We spent the most time in the trails. Lovely and shaded and paths are well- groomed. Well signposted and easy to navigate. Really great to have facilities on site, although I didn’t use the washrooms. Luna loved romping through the wildflowers and tall grass. We’ll definitely be back! Helen C.

FAQ about our St. Jacobs 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.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 208 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
