55Dexter’s Bark Park is a fantastic sniff spot! We were impressed with the fencing around the large grassy field. The surrounding areas are vey clean and well maintained. At the entrance gate you will find lots of toys to play with, aplastic baggies dispenser, a trash can and a first aid kit. Also access to water. There are benches to sit on at several different locations in the field. Which is great because the views of the farm, the goats, horse in the next field, and mountains behind the farm are awesome! We will definitely be back to visit Dexter’s Bark Park again! Marta H.

55My dogs have the best time here playing with the toys, smelling new scents, and gazing at the farm animals on the other side of the fence. We love it here!Lesley B.

55This was a beautiful setting. It is set up to make every conceivable dog happy: digging pit, doggie pool, plenty of toys, and comfy places for pet friends to sit and enjoy the wildflower meadow. My girl is a rescue. This is the first time she was able to run free. Thank you! Lisa B.

55This is the best Sniffspot we have found so far. Plenty of room, toys, water, sniffing, and exposure to farm animals from a safe distance. Really appreciated the path mowed around the perimeter, the outhouse, the poop bags, water, and garbage. Thank you!!!Alicia Y.

55Always a great stop … even if my pup doesn’t want to swim in the pool … she’s happy to run for the ball! Thanks Misspits for having this sniffspot - it’s a perfect break spot. Kelly W.

55Beautiful and well-kept. The pig wasn't present today, but the horses were 100% unfazed by a drooling giant jumping and barking at the fence. Lots of toys and plenty of water features for your pup!Zoe H.

55Another beautiful day at Dexter's. They've mowed a path around the field to make it easier to navigate, with plenty of fun grasses in the middle for the dogs to hunt in. They had a great time and are exhausted! Thank you 😊 Lin S.

55Such a great spot! Clear signage to point you to the back pasture where the Sniffspot is and great communication from the host before we arrived so I knew what to expect. Three pools full of clean water for swimming and splashing, plus two full dog bowls for drinking. Tons of toys, towels, shade …. Anything you could need! If we lived here we’d be regulars! Sarah K.

55We had so much fun today! The boys lived the tall grass in the field and they played a bit in the pools (I think Goose will get in the pool more next time now that he's figured it out). This space is truly one of the best spots in the area! Thank you!Andrea F.

55Melissa's place is wonderful! Very clean, not muddy (in the summer anyway) and the pool was so much fun for our dogs. So many toys and amenities. The fence was completely safe and they loved bounding around the field. Our favorite sniffspot so far. Thank you all so much!Rhiannon C.

55Lovely property. Pigs are so cute and friendly. Only one of my dogs is still scared of them but my others pay no attention to them anymore. They won’t hang out at the fence if my dog starts barking at them. Having the pools is wonderful for my huskies. They love the water. So many toys available. Lovely place we come here a lot now.

55Secure fencing, serene and private, tall grass to romp in, and pools---a short one for little dogs, and a big one for bigger dogs. My dog tried each one, and also jumped in the water trough! He had a blast! He loved the tether pull, the toy box, the tiny house, and the space to run at full speed! We will definitely be coming back! Nancy L.

FAQ about our Oakville 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Oakville 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 89 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 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.
