55Dogs had a lot of fun running around the yard. Area was secured with lots of paths, balls, and space. The entrance is secured with a piece of plywood and wiring, easy enough for my dogs and me to get over yet high enough to keep them contained. Host is quick to respond. There are a few dogs on either sides of the fences. Luckily my dogs react well to barks / whines and weren’t too bothered. Great spot! Julie T.

55Phenomal time for my girls to run around and play. Provided doggie bags and tennis balls (however I’ll have to replace two as they were lost in the deep snow haha!) Great environment to become accustomed to new areas both on and off leash. Will recommend to all furry friends! Thank you so much! We will return without a doubt!Steven J.

55We had so much fun playing in the snow today. After 2 days of extreme cold the dogs were able to get all their energy out, and I was able to relax with my pups. Thank you so much for this spot. It’s close to home and a great break. Love the baby gate at the entrance, I use them at home too! Next time I come I believe I will get a membership! PS I hope the branches were part of the accessories! Bjorn didn’t let it go!Julie T.

55The hosts were very friendly and helpful, and the property was great! They even made sure some paths were clear of snow despite a bunch of snow having just fallen. Our pup enjoyed the large and secure space to play fetch! We even accidentally threw a toy up on the shed roof and the host was kind enough to help us retrieve it. Will definitely be visiting again - thanks Clark and Ryan!Jessica H.

55Exactly as advertised, easy to find, easy parking, nice open space. My only issue, which is my own personal issue, is that I have a fearful dog - and I was not expecting there to be dogs surrounding the yard. Now that I know, I will be more prepared with high value treats! Thanks for hosting me and my pup, all in all - a good time. Lindsay L.

55A very nice spot. Some balls and toys are provided which certainly was appreciated. A waste bin is also available to use. My only issue was the gate to get in/out was not fixed to anything, it was just wedged in between the space and would be easy to knock out of place. It was also low, but I have a Great Dane so that might not be a problem for certain dogs.Mike F.

55Our dogs had a blast! The tennis ball launcher was a winner! Gate was a little flimsy, but would only be a problem for escape artists.
We will come back after the thaw!Marylene L.

FAQ about our Ottawa fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Ottawa?
There are 21 fully fenced dog parks in the Ottawa area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
