Absolutely gorgeous space, even in February! I'm sure it will be amazing in the summer. It's a little tricky to play fetch with all the big lovely trees, but there is a clear path to throw a ball about 2/3 of the way down the yard. The yard was very tidy, I wasn't worried about my boy getting into anything or my senior girl with bad eyesight tripping. The hosts very kindly put out water and stuff for the pups and for people, and there are lots of places to sit. Overall just a very nice space to hang out for an hour, and this is absolutely joining the list of places I visit regularly with my pups.

My dog loved this spot. A very large space for him to run, nice large trees, and a peaceful setting. We really appreciated the drinks and dog toys and treats! Can't wait to see it here in the spring and summer when it is in full bloom. Had a great time and would highly recommend.

We had a great time! My lab did find the small pond 🤣 but they all had a great time! Very tidy, and water for the dogs and poop bags/trashcan were provided.

Beautiful spot. As described. No nasty surprises. Very thoughtful hosts. My Ollie loved it as the yard is really deep, allowing her to get up to her best gazelle-like speed. She is sometimes reactive, so this is the perfect place for her to run with a friend. We will be back! And thank you.

Awesome property! Plenty of space to sniff and play fetch. Love the big trees. It was very secure, my pup loved running around! Ashley left out homemade beef lung treats, fresh rags, poop bags, it was so sweet! I will 100% be back!

We really enjoyed our stay on the owners property. The yard is long and is a good size for dogs that like to run and chase after balls, like mine does. The owner left out treats, some toys, poop bags, water and a small garbage can for the waste I picked up. There is a tiny pond on the property that is somewhat hidden by foliage, it took a little while for my dog to find it but he did and he did jump in it a couple of times! Lol! Thankfully my dog dries off fairly quickly, but if you have a long haired dog this may be something to consider. That being said, the owner did provide hand towels for drying off dogs. We definitely will be coming back to this spot!

Such a beautiful backyard, it's a very deep property and my dogs could really let loose. It was clean and water and toys were out for the dogs. I recommend this spot. Also the people who host this property are wonderful ✨️

A hidden gem in St Catharines! The yard is absolutely massive with lots of room for the dogs to run, play, and explore. Toys, water, and a little garbage disposal are all available on site. We would definitely recommend (and we will be back!)😊 For more videos showing the space, we have them posted on our Instagram (@bindisbucketlist) saved on our Sniffspot highlights.

This is the best sniffspot ever! The place is wonderful, peaceful, beautiful, and totally equipped as a dog park. My reactive dogs had the best time here. There are so many things to sniff and get entertained with. Not only grass but huge trees, bushes, branches, flowers, small fountain/pond: A dog paradise. I am definitely doing this on a regular basis now with Ashley. She was really kind, friendly, and the best host. Treats, water, poop bags, and even toys for them to play! 100% recommend it! The entrance is so easy to find and it has a great parking place right at the entrance.

Our dogs loved Ashley's place. So much room to run and shady. We drove from Beamsville and it was worth it.

Ashley, thank you so much for such a good day for my boy! As dog reactive, senior dog, it’s hard to give Thompson the space he needs to explore freely and safely. You not only provided a beautiful yard but the comfort of safety and you were so welcoming. We will definitely book with you again sometime soon!
