55Very nice private trail that leads to a large well maintained grass field that was perfect for playing fetch. The trail was a loop with the grass field in the middle.
My one dog was off leash nearly the entire time, with the bush on either side of the trail and surrounding the grass field acting as a fence, although my puppy stayed on a long line as she's not as trustworthy. Really nice place for an off leash walk and a game of fetch. Allie l.

55Very beautiful space with a very welcoming host.
My sister and I brought our two large dogs to Ireland Private Dog Farm and they had a blast. Lots of open space for them to wrestle and run. We walked around the trail and the dogs enjoyed a dip in the pond afterwards.
Alicia was a very welcoming host and was quick to answer a question I had.
We will definitely be returning!Leah M.

55Visited here today, my dogs had a great time. This was the first time visiting a "Sniff Spot" location. I have two large German shepherds and they are both very Reactive towards other dogs. Finding a private place with no other dogs or people is very important to us. Thank you for your hospitality 🐶💕Laura L.

55Beautiful! property with so much to explore. Nice mix of trails and open space. It was a warmer day for huskies and didn't get a chance to explore further, but the water break was a nice treat. The pups a lot of fun. We all did! Melissa D.

55This is a great spot- lots of interesting paths and things to explore. Alicia left a water bowl out for us and gave nice clear instructions regarding where to park and we felt completely safe to let our dog off leash and explore freely. Jen P.

55Wonderful place to take my reactive girl Miss Scarlett. She has a great time exploring and sniffing around. She even got some off leash time which she doesn’t normally get. We will definitely be back… next time maybe we will use the fire pit!! Angela R.

55We loved our visit here. Millie had the best time exploring out by the pond and running in the fenced in dog park. The place was incredibly clean and well maintained as well. We will definitely be back! And I shared it with some friends Stephanie L.

55Great spot! Note there was heavy machinery blocking the entrance to the road where I was supposed to enter the spot— there is still a way to get to the correct parking spot though, just drive carefully on the roads in the property! Lots to do, clearly marked trails, well maintained and clean. my dogs loved the pond. Deer flies are bad right now in the evening so keep that in mind! Not like anyone can control the bugs tho hahaAlex J.

55Very well laid out, easy to find all the trails, the enclosed dog park is just enough room for two dogs to enjoy their best life and what else can we say about the pond…. We spent a majority of the time there, the boys absolutely loved it!!

55My dog and her pup friends had a wonderful time here!
Everything is where it’s described and easily accessed.
The fenced space was great, it kept everyone contained while they had the zoomies. The trails were so pretty!
Please remember your bug spray, the bugs are very hungry and persistent and my OFF gentle deet free spray was no match but really, I’m just sharing a tiny heads up, this is 100% on me and in no way a reflection of our overall experience.
I do think one of our favourite little areas was at the beginning of one of the trails. There was a lovely little stream, the water was so clear and refreshing. It was truly very peaceful!Christa P.

55Overall, it was awesome! Quite a few trails to amble on, both in the woods and out in the open. A few creeks running hither and yon throughout, and “Trail’s End” signs let you know when you were about to enter someone else’s property. Best feature for my 3 dog crew was the large, clean pond — many sticks and balls were thrown and retrieved! They came out wet, but not “mud monsters”!
Only suggestion would be a sign as to where to park, as it didn’t seem obvious to me. (Course, I’m good at missing things, so maybe it was there!)

FAQ about our St. Jacobs 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the St. Jacobs 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 206 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 17 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.
Sniffspot has 206 fully fenced dog parks in or near St. Jacobs. Browse all fully enclosed options.
