55Sunny & Meeks have loved visiting Ricky’s Private Dog Park! It’s a beautiful open space with lots of room to run & play. :)
There’s a lovely, gentle 13 year old dog just on the other side of the fence that may pop over to say hello so if you’re dog’s not triggered by other pups, then it’s the perfect spot for you!Victoria C.

55Great spot, lots of room to run! Very well secured. My dog had a blast running up and down the fence line chasing and being chased by the 2 little dogs in the next yard. He was totally exhausted and happy! We will definitely be back.Rosemarie M.

55Ideal location, close to home, well maintained, has both shade and plenty of sun. Just the right size to throw a ball and frisbee around for my dog and get plenty of running room. It’s my go to place. Stella K.

55The Host was very helpful and communicative. The yard was just perfect for our three different breeds. We aren’t sure who was having more fun.
We will most definitely recommend and be back!

55Everything as described. It is open link fences and there are houses on 3 sides with distractions so just know that if you have reactive dogs. I used it as distraction training, recall and leash training and it was a great place for safe and secure obedience work. Sarah L.

55Lovely Sniffspot! It was clean and provided a great area for running and exploring for our two girls. The fencing is beautiful and high, gate(s) are secure and our dogs had a blast. There are two tall trees in one section which might put a damper on powerful throwing of a ball unless you’re really accurate, but it didn’t impede us as we found there was more than enough area past them for good throws and flat out running. I didn’t see a place for poop bag deposit, so be prepared to bring home any packages. I definitely recommend this spot. Leigh H.

55Second time at this Sniffspot and the girls HAD A BLAST! It is a lovely spot with lots of area for a great run, fetch, exploration and sniffaris. There is a spot to leave “packages” your doglets produce, clean water and a bowl. I highly recommend this Sniffspot as both times our girls have left happy and ready for naps. Leigh H.

55Very easy instructions and easy entry to the property. Great spot for smaller or older doggies and quite tidy. There are a few trees and bushes which can provide some spots for hide & seek fun!Beth S.

55Has everything you need! There are some chairs to sit, garbage bin etc. The fences are secure and high, but if you have a reactive dog it is at a busy intersection where they will see humans and/or dogs walking by. It’s perfect for us and we’ll be back. Kelsey M.

55My dogs had an amazing time! The yard is very clean and spacious enough for my 2 large dogs to be able to run around and play. It is easy to find and the instructions were clear. My dogs loved the mini pool the owner left out for us, and definitely appreciated the water bowl! (The neighbours small dog barked for about 10 minutes when it heard my dogs and I playing. You cannot see the dog, so my dog was not effected by this.)
Thank you for opening up your beautiful yard to us! Two tired, happy dogs after the visit!Emily K.

FAQ about our Ottawa 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. 94% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ottawa 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 62 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 6 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.
