55Courtney & Bruce's backyard is the perfect space for play and off-leash time. We visited earlier this evening and appreciated how well lit the space was. This proved very useful for finding lost booties in the snow :) Thank you for having us!Courtney T.

55Georgia had a great time chasing her ball. Lots of space to run. She had fun exploring between the cedars and the fence too. Nothing fancy just a good open yard to let her have some freedom. And a deck to hang out on. Exactly what we needed.
Fences and gates were nice and secure. Tall wood on two sides and chain link at the back facing a road. Jayne W.

FAQ About Kitchener 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. 6% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Kitchener 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 211 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 283 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.
