55Sniffspot offers an incredible space for a dog to run free and release energy. As a first timer, staff were eager to help me and to offer support. My dog loved every minute, was stimulated and proceeded to fall happily asleep following this experience.Wendy C.

55I love that there is a spot to take our pup for a run while we are up North. At home we can go to the local dog park but there are no off leash areas in Haliburton/Minden.
I really appreciate having this safe, clean, fenced in spot for her to run!Jennifer A.

55Lovely spot, quiet and away from hustle and bustle. Fenced-in area is spacious and secure. The dog park is immediately adjacent to a large spacious pasture with horses and emu. Visible pigs and goats. Very clean. Thank you for having us!Caitlin S.

Review Update* FAVOURITE SPOT! Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us. Maintained trails, maps and private driveway! We will certainly be spending lots of time here.
55This spot was absolutely stunning, 5 stars aren’t enough! It was hands down our favourite place and we will most certainly be back. The new driveway was wonderful and the map was very helpful. We booked it for an hour but we will definitely need an hour and a half next time as we weren’t able to do all the trails. The pups enjoyed the little stream and had a nice wade and drink a few times. There were bugs, which is to be expected as you wander the forest, but bug spray was provided at the beginning of the trail too. Thank you so much for opening up your beautiful place for us to use.Sarah W.

55Beautiful trail! The dogs loved it and so did we. They had complimentary bug spray, which was amazing as we forgot ours, and it was needed. They also supply maps of their property showing the different trails.Ashley G.

55Beautiful well maintained trails. My dog loved it! So many different trails to explore. Maps were provided at the entrance as well as bug spray (there were a lot of bugs this time of year in the forest but there are some paths that were more open with less trees!)Esther W.

FAQ about our Minden 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.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Minden 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 35 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 4 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
