55It was a great first time for Max, he got to run so much, however he was exhausted after 15 mins. Very easy to get to, a few chairs to sit in, flat ground, fully fenced, with a bit of trees to the side for more exploration. Would recommend for any reactive dogs who need to burn off some energy!!LISA A.

55We went in the evening, no one was outside and we easily made our way to the field. The dogs barking at the kennel didn’t interfere with our time at all and one of my pups can be dog reactive, particularly through fences. I put him on a long leash and kept him distracted on the opposite side of the field and he barely took notice of the dogs or the barking. The space is large enough that you can stay away from the kennel side if needed. We had a great time and the hidden path was a little treat! We’ll definitely be back. Thank you! Kristi D.

55Lovely spot for dogs to run, roam and play. Shady forest path and agility structures on site enhance the property. Tons of room to run and play ball. We had a blast and will be back soon!Anney A.

55Our dogs had a great time this morning! The field was very clean with a tree shaded area that provided some welcome relief from the heat of the day. There were some anchored tires and a double ramp with a platform for our dogs to play on. It was a fun and stress-free dog outing!Cynthia S.

55Both my dogs had an absolute blast. So much space for them to run around, sniff and play with each other.
Thank you to Megan and her family for allowing us to come and use the space. The dogs had the space and didn’t have to worry about other dogs getting in their space. Thank you! :) Carol L.

55Great place to let the dog burn off a lot of energy. Right beside a dog kennel so your dog must be comfortable with that but it’s fully enclosed. We’ll definitely return. Cherise A.

55My first time using SniffSpot, lovely father helped me to park in the correct spot (right in front of metal hooped building.) Great space for running around. My dog was a bit distracted by the next door barking, but quickly got used to it. Nice! Thank you!Sharon S.

FAQ About Saanichton 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.
