55Great property with tons of room for the dog to run. Wooded area is beautiful! Use the address on the picture. Take note the parking area has quite a bit of debris in it, so i was a little nervous about getting a flat tire. I saw a review saying there was no signage, but there was indeed a piece of plywood facing the road that indicated sniff spot in big letters.Clayton P.

55Fun trails for lots of sniffing, small hills/dunes and low areas for more interest and challenge too. Our dog loved it. As described there are busy roads around so we kept our dog leashed by choice since his recall is not 100% Grizz P.

55Plenty of different small turns and loops in the paths which made for great recall training. Nice smaller, but big enough, spot. We will return. Ian W.

55My reactive dog loved this spot! The grassy field was very large and there were a few wooded trails at the back of the property. Note that the sniffspot is about 200m south of the address posted, at the large wood piles.Serena L.

55My dog had a great time here! We wanted to escape the house for a bit while our neighbourhood was busy with kids trick or treating, and this was a great place to let my dog run around and explore. John was also super quick and kind to answer my call when I accidentally drove past the location!!Elaina B.

FAQ About Russell 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.
