55My dogs have been here a few times now, and we will continue coming back. It’s a great place for when you don’t have the space, or a reactive dog (like mine), where they can really be dogs, they love it!Brooklyn P.

55Amazing! Lots of space for my dogs to run, lots of them to do. One of my dogs doesn’t get along with any other dogs other than her dog sister, and this place had ample space, secure fencing, and away from busy neighborhood’s enough for her to just have fun. Lots of amenities for the dogs, and for people too! Will definitely be backBrooklyn P.

55We loved visiting Pupvacay as our first Sniffspot! This huge fenced yard has several gates that can be closed to secure the area. This spot had photo-ops that are constantly modified, many obstacles and entertainment for the dogs, towels, poo-bags, and many activities are set out along the tables for guests to use and enjoy! Will continue to book more time with this Sniffspot as the pups had so much fun they couldn’t possibly do everything in only one hour. 10/10Nicole B.

55Great spot! My dogs loved it. There was so much set up for their enrichment. The property was completely secure with strong, high fencing so there was no worries about them getting out. There was water and treats and snacks set up outside for the dogs and for the humans! It was so nice. I’ll definitely be taking my dogs back. It was a great spot for my reactive pups. There was no worry about other dogs or animals and no other people! Beth H.

55The Yard is an amazing experience. Very clean, lots of toys and enrichment stations, great for humans, too! The owners promptly communicate everything you need to know, and not having to park on the street is a bonus. Our sweet girl suffers from environmental anxiety, and much to our relief did not hesitate to immediately enter The Yard and enjoy her newfound play area. Highly recommended!!Tanis M.

55What a wonderful set up - so many activities designed for fun and mental stimulation. We had a great time. We so appreciated the thoughtful touches from doggie toys, to water for dogs and humans, chairs and the personal greeting of the sign when we arrived.Barb W.

55ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!! You can tell they treat your dog like their dog. They set up cute decor during holiday seasons, they change the layout slightly every so often to keep things fresh and my dog(s) love this place. There is tons of room to run around. My favorite parts are the cute water and snacks available, the swing and playground at the back corner right in the sunlight and the chairs set up in the right side. There is little to no improvement with the yard, one thing that was difficult last time I was visiting was the food and/or treats that were in the grass. I assume a previous owner left them but it was hard to keep my dog from sniffing out the food and eating it. We found little over 10 pieces of different sizes but this is not normally ever an issue here. I believe a one time thing. Other than that everything was pretty perfect. My #1 go to yard to recommend and visit. Lots of toys available and if you are tired and your dog is a puller they have a clothes line across the yard that has dog toys clipped in (GENIUS) and a new ball/tether ball available. If you have any doubts about this place, you shouldn’t! They really care about keeping the place clean and cared for. They are very friendly people (never actually met them) but safe to say I’m always satisfied with them and the environment they create for my furry baby!!Ashley H.

FAQ About Oshawa 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. 9% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Oshawa 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 229 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 296 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.
