55We had an amazing visit this morning! Very private and had lots of space for my pup to run and play fetch! She even got into the tunnel and was able to use the agility equipment very well! Didn't think she'd go in but after much coaxing she got her nerve! Lol, yard was very clean and had extra toys which is always helpful and poop bags in case you forget them. I will definitely be booking again, thanks for having usTina G.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Greater Sudbury dog park
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. 4% 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 9 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 20 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.
