55Such a lovely spot! My dog and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. This would be a great photography spot for your dog. It is not fully fenced so keep this in mind. Lots of sniffs and beautiful trees. There’s a bit of a trail through the forest. It was so fun to enjoy a Christmas tree farm off leash :) Mary H.

55The host was very helpful. It was great to wander around the fields, walk the path through the trees and rest by the barn for a water break. My dogs loved sniffing around and got some great exercise. We will be back. natalie r.

55This is an amazing property and we really enjoyed our walk today! The trails were lovely and our dog thoroughly enjoyed running around and sniffing. The paths were well maintained and were also well labeled!
Martin is a lovely host and greeted us with a smile! He reviewed the map with us and gave us some information about the current state of the trails.
As an owner of a reactive dog - it was the perfect place for our dog to run around and be free! It was a stress free walk for us, as we didn't have to worry about running into other people or off leash dogs!
We will definitely be back! Paige M.

55Great place with lots of trails. Very well organized too! All trails have names and are well labeled, you get a map upon arriving and there is a garbage at entrance (which many other parks don’t have) and the use of dog toys in a box before starting the trails. Had a great time with our two dogs, thank you! Zoe L.

55This place is amazing!!! My dog had the time of his life running around the trails and was smiling the whole time. He could have happily spent his entire day there. The host was super nice too, provided a map and the area was well labelled which i appreciate because I’m directionally challenged! Will definitely be back :)Dayna E.

55Amazing spot! Trails were very well marked and Martin met us and went through the map with us which was very helpful!
We went on a mild day in January and it was snowy and wet, waterproof boots were definitely needed! I wore rainboots but winter boots would have been better, the water isn't very deep in most places and easy to avoid where it is.
Definitely recommend! Megan B.

FAQ about our Guelph dog hiking trails
Are dog hiking trails 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 a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area 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. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?
Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog. You can also filter by size if you are looking for a certain acre park, an expansive off-leash dog park. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog hiking trails. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog hiking trail?
In order to hike the trails, we require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot hiking trail 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.
How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?
Dog hiking trails in the Guelph area range from $5.0 and $25.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is 7 Acres With Pond In Erin. The most expensive dog hiking trail is The Ranch, In New Tecumseth. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
