55This place absolutely lives up to the name of refuge. I adopted my rescue dog less than a year ago, and though I have had access to sizeable urban backyards, this was another level. I had never seen my pup so happy to be free and with so much space to run. Unfortunately, my dog is dog reactive so dog parks are impossible, but the minute I left her off her leash, she was the happiest I've ever seen her. The area is a lovely property, well-kept, the fence is a great height, and Valentina is a great host (easy and quick to respond to questions). It is definitely worth the drive from Ottawa. Will come back soon! Laura G.

55It’s a really nice property that’s well taken care of and my two huskies had such a fun time exploring everywhere. Fencing is great and is well maintained. I love that they had paths plowed throughout the entire area so I could walk around with my pups while they had fun in the snow. Looking forward to going back in the summer when the trail in the woods is accessible! Thank you!Cheri C.

55My dogs had so much fun at this Sniffspot! It's so quiet and peaceful. We spent most of our time in the extra fenced wooded area. It was magical on a nice winter day with fresh snow. The extra area feels much larger than a 1/2 acre - my dogs ran and ran through the paths in the forest.
Note that there are chickens that are separately fenced near the front of the house. They were a brief curiosity for my younger dog. It might be best to keep any real prey driven dogs further away from that area, which is easy to do.
Great spot with secure fencing, lots of privacy and a friendly host. I like that you can drive in and close the gate behind you, so leashes aren't even needed! My boys are now passed out. Thank you!Heather H.

55My dog and i had a blast! We loved the fenced in forest trails especially. It was the perfect area for my dog to run and have a sense of freedom without any real risk. There are some chickens off to the side which would definitely trigger a prey driven dog, but she put them in the coop and my dog didnt notice them at all. They were perfectly silent.. the entire property was fenced in and safe for my dog to run. Overall, was a great experience and would recommend it. :)Raven S.

55What a lovely spot! Deep back yard for playing fetch and the whole area around the house is securely fenced so lots to explore. There is a separately fenced chicken coop off to one side which did excite my pup a bit. But it also provided a great opportunity to practice recall with a distraction! And Valeria offered to put the chickens in the coop if it got too much. It wasn’t necessary, but good to know that is an option. There is also a large wooded area with lots of paths and my dog ran and ran. Thank you Valeria for sharing your spot!Andrea B.

55Our dog had so much fun running through the trees and finding all the sticks. We mostly stayed in the back forested area which had a nice path perfect for zoomies! The walking path is also nice for humans. Highly recommend! Kathryn K.

55Our second visit to this sniffspot and we had a great time again. It was a nice warm winter day but I could hear the blustery wind. But the wooded area and the back yard were nicely sheltered from the wind. Thibbs ran and ran! He has been passed out on the couch all afternoon! Thank you!Andrea B.

55We brought our two dogs out for the first time and they had a blast. One of our dogs is a rescue who had very little socialization and is quite a nervous girl. She’s an active large breed pup so she really needs to run and burn off energy but busy dog parks are just too much for her right now. We were so thrilled to see her running and playing in a stress free environment! The space was clean and well kept and there are lots of balls and a “stick library” for the dogs to chase and play with. The yard was large enough for the dogs to play and run but also small enough to work on some recall training. (Once the pup gets better at that we’ll try the larger space for a trail walk). Overall a great experience and we’ll be back for sure! Thank you Heather!! Sandra D.

55The enclosed area is great for my dog to run free. She could have stayed longer judging by her unwillingness to leave:)
I would take our dog there as often as I can. The space is an oasis for dogs owners. Hope to go there over the winter and enjoy the snow with our pet. Thanks for having us!Stella K.

55We had a great first experience with Where all dogs are farm dogs through sniffspot. The property was secure and clean and communication was excellent 👌 and welcoming. This is just what my pup and I need to run and roam safely close to home. Thank you for providing that safe space for us. Mandie B.

55Rented the extra 8 acres for the first time today. The dogs loved it. Our one doesn't have great recall so it was nice to practice in a trail-like setting and let him truly stretch his legs while knowing he wasn't going to escape. Sarah B.

FAQ about our 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. 98% 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 19 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 4 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.
