55George is amazing and his property is absolutely beautiful! We did get turned around and George had to come lead us out but that's all part of the fun (sorry George). George spotted a Long Horn Owl on his way out to get us and was kind enough to point the owl out on our way back. Shelley M.

55Love this place so much - it is absolutely stunning and so serene. Most of it is a fairly gentle, flat walk, and George does an incredible job keeping the trails in good shape. Dogs will love having so much space to run and splash in the creek, and there are lots of spots for their people to sit and take a break in the shade under the trees.
If your dog is at all reactive to people, make sure to connect with George in advance, as sometimes his neighbour is walking on the trails. If your dog's recall isn't super solid, keep them on leash until you are out of sight of the house, as there are a couple of trails at the beginning of the walk that pass relatively near the house: if people or vehicles moving around the house area or the smell/sound of George's dog might be an attraction to your pup, you'll want to make sure they can't head that direction.

55Georges property was a true dream come true. We couldn’t believe the size of it- we booked for two hours and thought we would leave early but we were scrambling to make it to our car before our time ended 😆. The creek pools were a highlight for my boy to cool off, and it felt like we were in a small national park! I only wish we lived on the Island and could visit regularly! We will definitely be back next time we’re visiting.Nicole G.

55We absolutely loved spending the evening exploring this Sniffspot! We often have a hard time finding a private trail with water access for our fearful pup but this will be our new go-to spot! We especially loved how many trails were available on the property and the thought put into this by the Host! Alliya L.

55Amazing walk, with well groomed trails, access to the creek, nice and secluded. Excellent for dogs who love the water. Definitely could spend a lot longer than just an hour there. Melissa C.

FAQ About Ladysmith 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.
