55This type of trail is exactly what I've been looking for. It's quiet, very private with no other dogs. If you have a reactive dog or a dog with anxiety, it's perfect!Susan C.

The space felt super safe and secure, and everything was really well set up and thought out! You can tell the host truly cares about creating a great experience for both dogs and their people.

55This was our first time at this sniffspot and we loved it! The dogs sniffed around then went straight for the pool. They haven't been in a pool before so the provided life jackets definitely helped as they just enjoyed paddling in the water and were quick to learn the stairs with guidance. After swimming we played ball in the back and they discovered the sand pit. This spot was very clean, and the host even provided clean water, smaller kiddie pool, and toys! We will definitely be back :)Emma B.

55OH So beautiful as usual! Dog on 50' longline checking recall and its excellent! Perfect place to practise :D The atmosphere is breathtaking. peaceful silence, no city sounds; the birds, the sound of the earth under your shoes is everything. Mosquitoes weren't bad but put on lemon lotion from watkins and it worked I guess! :D Dog had his preventative on so he was good too! Thank you Cathy for sharing <3 SUSAN A.

55Absolutely beautiful area to bring your dogs!! The owner was so nice! She greeted us with a map and explained the process. The trails are well marked and the swimming area was a big hit with my pups. :) Very private, and very cool of them to share their property with strangers. Just a reminder to BRING BUG SPRAY. We stopped on the way out to buy some, but there was none in stock so we figured we’d be fine. We were not. lol Can’t wait to go back - especially in the fall! 😍Jody C.

FAQ About Greater Sudbury 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. 5% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Greater Sudbury 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 7 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 19 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.
