Rent safe and private dog agility parks hosted by locals in Courtenay, British Columbia

Very nice spot and super friendly host 😊 Thank you, offers safe place for pups to play!!💕

The space was a bit smaller than I expected but it was securely fenced and reasonably clean.

Love this!

Wonderful place to let dogs be dogs! Lots of great smells and places to explore. Everyone enjoyed cooling off in the creek, after a good run. Can't wait to visit again!

What an amazing Sniffspot! Lots and lots of free space for the pups to sniff and play. Property is so nicely maintained and bonus that it is all fenced in. Host was amazing and super nice. We will definitely be back. They do have goats but our pups could care less ( we however loved them!) Nice private retreat for the doggies. Thanks for having us!

Grace was very welcoming and provided water for us and our dog. The property is fenced and has a lovely creek and trees. Wonderful to have my dog run free on her 9 acres.

Grace has sculptured a beautiful sniffspot on her land. It's like having a private camp with trails, clearings, large enough for my 2 dobermans to romp, chase, and wrestle, then run on the wide groomed trails. The trails were hilly so I got some exercise. And the sniffspot was fenced: what a bonus. The entry before crossing the water borders some goats, horses, etc. Eventhough this is enclosed and part of the sniffspot, if you have a dog that doesn't have a great recall off fenced farm animals, you will want to keep that leash on until you get on the trails on the other side of the river. We had a great time exploring, hiking, and playing hide and seek. Grace was awesome and we look forward to a return. Wear your hiking boots.

This was my first SniffSpot and it exceeded my expectations! It's rare to find a spot available that is fenced in. I was able to let my dog run freely without concern. He loved the stream running through it and I enjoyed the mini trails throughout. It is very clean and the host was exceptionally nice. My dog has some fear aggression with new people and she handled it great! We will 1000% be coming back and we're already planning our next stay while there. An hour is plenty of time to go through it all, but I would book two next time.

This was an amazing first experience with sniff spot. I don’t trust my dogs off leash with other dogs around, so a private spot was perfect. It felt like we were out in the forest for our own private hike, which we were! The dogs and I had a blast. The host was friendly and gave us privacy. I’ll be back ASAP!

Beautiful property with lots of variety to explore. Great socialization for the pup to see goats and a horse. My kids loved it too! Grace was also very responsive when we had a short notice change.

I had wanted to visit this spot since it popped up and it didn't disappoint! Grace messaged me shortly before the visit to let me know there were workers at the house which thankfully would not have been a problem for my dog but it could have been for others so I appreciated the heads up. When we arrived she happily greeted us and let me know how to access the off leash area of the property. It was like our own private hiking area, complete with enough hills to give me and my pup a workout. There are benches spaced around the area to relax a bit too. I highly recommend booking for more than an hour to take advantage of the whole space. Things to note: solid footwear is recommended. Unless you stick to the front of the area, you're in the woods. It's not overgrown or anything, but you'll want to cover your feet. Also, you're in the country. While we were there we heard what were either gun shots or fireworks. I prepare for this by making sure I have plenty of treats and something to play fetch with to distract my dog. None of this is to suggest you shouldn't go, I would definitely make the hour drive to visit again. Thanks for sharing your land, Grace!

This is a very nice spot, especially in the summer heat. There was plenty of shade and a nice area with picnic benches to sit down after playing fetch or exploring the forest. The host, Grace, was very nice and walked us to the entrance.  

Both of our boys had an absolute blast!! Our great Dane is hard to take to a regular dog park (due to his intimidating size) and giving him open room to run with his (smaller) brother was the absolute best day ever! :) Our host was extremely gracious when we got lost getting to their location as well! Bring hiking shoes as the people got quite a work out as well as the dogs!!!! Absolutely beautiful and the small creek was the favorite spot for the furballs. Will happily return soon.

My pups had a great time exploring! Great space and we will definitely be back! Host was very responsive and goats/horse were contained in a separate area. For those with reactive dogs, you do need to walk past the animals, but once over the bridge, pups were free to explore.  No human or dog interaction during our visit.  If you have a small escape artist, you might need to keep an eye out.  Overall, awesome spot!  Loved the mini forest!

The dogs had an absolutely fantastic time. They loved all the woods, hills, trails and of course the creek.  Thank you for joining Sniffspot and opening your property to our 4 legged family members.  

Beautiful spot with lots of running room. Grace was very welcoming and came out to show us were to go. We'll definitely be back. 

We had a great time. She was wonderful and greeted us and let us know where to go. Beautiful stream and woods

This was our first visit to the Mini Forest and this place is really wonderful. It is a large forested area with some large walking paths as well as some smaller trails scattered about. Just after you cross over the bridge there is a lovely little picnic area where we had lunch. The creek is close by there if you want to go down the hill a bit to it. Then we climbed up the hill - you will want some good walking shoes - to some open meadows and additional trails. There are also some outbuildings scattered about and some places to sit. The is a mix of open area and tall shaded tree areas so will be good in the summer. Property is fenced but we saw a few areas that a determined dog could go under. Because the property is large and wooded, if off leash, best to have a good recall. Property was easy to find and parking spot was labeled. If coming from the south, go through Granite Falls as property is closer to there than Arlington. Host Grace met us in the driveway and was very friendly and engaging. She respected that Kai doesn't like to meet people he doesn't know. We wereonly here for an hour for our first visit but we will plan for 2 hours for next time. Great place to bring a picnic and enjoy the surroundings. There is a lot to explore in this peaceful wooded setting!

My two dogs, toddler and I had a great time! The land is well manicured so it’s clear where to go without disturbing the forest feel and the trees offer plenty of shade (which was much appreciated by this 8 months pregnant mama!). The hills were a bit much for my older dog but any agile pup ought to have a grand time! (And my old lady had a great time too, she just had a little trouble towards the end navigating the terrain). The creek is lovely and the boundaries of the property are very clear. Lovely host! We can’t wait to go back and explore again.
