55We had such a lovely time visiting this beautiful farm! The space is peaceful, open, and full of character. Rosie had the best time exploring—sniffing around, playing with sticks, and keeping a close eye on everything. I loved getting to see all the animals—goats, geese, bunnies, roosters, and even alpacas! It made the whole experience feel playful and unique. The fenced areas felt safe, there was plenty of seating to relax, and having a bathroom on-site was such a thoughtful bonus. The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

55I came for the dogs but the day quickly became about my inner child living out all her farm animal dreams. The dogs had a wonderful time, one of our dogs even played chase between the fence with a sweet mini donkey named Cinnamon. The farm is a paradise. You can feel the thoughtful and loving energy of the incredible couple who own it in every corner, and on every trail. There are various areas to be with the dogs including hiking trails complete with Adirondack chairs and a meditation platform, flat grassy areas with trees, a large fireplace with chairs and pastures between animal visits- all of whom are sweet and even my shy dog felt happy, secure and curious. This is the sniffspot of our dreams and I’m going to host my birthday party here with all of our doggy friends. Thank you for the best time!!

55We had such an amazing time at this lovely family farm! So much space to explore, including hiking trails, acres of scenic pasture, many well-mannered farm animals, and a mountainside platform where you can take it all in. The owners were so friendly and hospitable, and ensured we knew about all the exciting things to explore. We wish we could have stayed longer, and can’t wait to return!

5510/10 experience!! Brenda & John were so welcoming & kind to my family & I & we just love them! Their farm is just as described! Fully fenced in & very clean. Plenty of room to roam and felt completely safe for my dog. We were greeted by John when we pulled in to let us know about to farm and that we could come see the animals and pet them & he also told us about the trails. He made sure there was fresh water for our pup as well! I brought my kids and they had the best time with the animals & Brenda & John. Hayden their farm hand also brought one of the ponies out to pet! We will definitely be back for Boomer to play!! Thank you for being so accommodating to us!!

55This place is amazing!!! If your dogs love to explore, this is the place to visit. I was really worried about one of our dogs (who is such a menace!) terrorizing the farm animals but they don’t really pay attention to the barking, thank goodness. The ride to the farm is peaceful and beautiful and you can pull right in the gate and unload. They will add signs at some point (they JUST opened) but look for the address on the fence and open the red gate and enter. There’s plenty of room to park and unload and turn around. There’s a big bowl of fresh water for the dogs and a can close by to dispose of your toodles. There are hiking trails you can access or you can stay at the bottom where it’s flat. There’s so much space and so much to see. I think we will book for an hour and a half next time. Our dogs had a blast and they are all passed out. Highly recommend this spot. We can’t wait to go back!

FAQ About Canton 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. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Canton 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 82 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 177 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.
