55WOW!! Dexter's exceeded my expectations in EVERY way!! The excellent fence kept my 90-pound fence-testing Catahoula safe. I was able to squeeze our 25-foot class C into the parking spot with a little see-sawing. The host was super-responsive to my communications before and during our visit. My very reactive dog was extremely curious about the pony and the horse on the other side of the fence but was easily redirected away from them back into the huge field with a few of the tennis balls provided. After running around like a maniac, he took the biggest drink from one of the available "watering holes". Dexter's is the first Sniffspot that I felt safe enough to take off his harness and let him run with just his collar. We can't wait to visit again!Katherine R.

55Rain was expected off and on today, so I was pleasantly surprised and grateful to learn the host had left some towels for us. I forgot mine at home, and it was nice to dry off the seating then the pups once we were done. This is our favorite spot!Rachel R.

55We absolutely loved this spot! For the pups, there's a secure fenced area with lots of room to run, large and small pools, and tons of toys. For us, there were several seating areas and a nice picnic table. Also loved all the farm animals. The dogs were fascinated by the hog and all the critter noises.Rachel R.

55We love visiting Dexter's Bark Park! Even though our dogs have their own big yard to run and play daily, 1 hour here keeps them calm all weekend long. Emma O.

55Our dogs just love this place! So many balls to chase, and so much room to run! Plenty of water to drink and shade spots to rest, as well. Weather permitting, this will be a weekly trip for us. It's definitely worth the hour drive each way😄Belinda L.

55This was a great place for our two dogs to exhaust themselves. The owner provided fresh water for the dogs, lots of toys, poop bags(both large and small), places for us to sit if needed, both in the shade and in the sun, and lots of farm animals to observe as we watched our dogs run! Even though it's over an hour from our house, we will definitely be returning here! Belinda L.

FAQ About Oakville 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. 1% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Oakville 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 130 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 215 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.
