10 Reasons Why You Should Take Your Dog to a Sniffspot (Private Off-Leash Dog Park)


Let’s face it—your dog deserves the VIP treatment. And what’s more exclusive than a private, off-leash dog park? Enter Sniffspot: the ultimate doggy destination where zoomies are encouraged, and sniffing everything is mandatory. 

Not sold yet? 

Here are 10 reasons why your pup (and you) need a Sniffspot adventure ASAP.


1. Off-Leash Freedom, Baby!

No leashes, no worries. Your pup can run, frolic, and perfect their Olympic-level zoomies without getting tangled—or dragging you along for the ride.


2. Sniff Till They Drop

Sniffing is basically your dog’s version of checking Instagram. Sniffspot gives them endless posts (aka smells) to explore. It’s like doggy social media, but with real dirt.


3. Private Parks = No Drama

No random dogs with questionable manners. At Sniffspot, it’s just you, your dog, and pure unfiltered joy. No one to steal your pup’s ball or growl over the best stick.


4. Safe Spaces for Nervous Pups

Got a shy, reactive, or socially awkward floof? Sniffspot lets them enjoy the outdoors without the stress of crowded parks. Introverted dogs, unite!


5. Exercise Without the Eyerolls

Your dog gets an epic workout while you chill. Bonus: no one’s judging you for skipping your own jog while your dog sprints like a maniac.


6. The Ultimate Photo Ops

Sniffspots are scenic, safe, and begging for photos of your dog living their best life. Capture their goofy grin mid-sprint, and boom—instant Instagram gold.


7. Perfect for Training

Need a distraction-free zone to work on recall or basic commands? A Sniffspot is like a private classroom for your dog’s big-brain moments.


8. No Weird Park Rules

Some public parks are sticklers about toys, treats, or letting your dog dig. At Sniffspot? Dig away, bring the squeakiest toy, and toss treats like confetti. It’s all fair game.


9. Bonding Time with Your Pup

Exploring a Sniffspot together strengthens your bond. You get quality time, and they get to feel like the king or queen of their very own kingdom.


10. Tired Dog = Happy Human

A Sniffspot session is the ultimate energy-burner. By the time you head home, your pup will be ready for a nap, leaving you to enjoy some well-earned peace and quiet.


Taking your dog to a Sniffspot is more than just a fun outing—it’s a win-win for you both. So, leash up, book a Sniffspot, and let the tail-wagging adventure begin! 🐾

Halloween with your pups!


 Getting your pup ready for Halloween can be just as fun as getting yourself into the spooky spirit!

Take it from Catherine, who loves dressing up her two little dogs, Denny and Dexter, every year. Denny's been rocking an adorable Ewok costume for a while now, and Dexter? He makes the sweetest little Devil Dog.
But while the costumes are cute, Catherine is always careful to make sure her dogs are comfortable too. After all, a happy pup makes for a much more enjoyable Halloween night!

DIY HALLOWEEN COSTUME IDEAS FOR YOUR DOGS

If you’re into getting crafty, creating your dog’s costume can be a fun, personalized project.
Here are a few easy ideas:
🦇 Bat Dog: Attach bat wings made from felt or cardboard to your dog’s harness.
🎃 Pup-kin: An orange dog shirt and some felt leaves can turn your dog into a little pumpkin.
👻 Ghost Dog: A simple white sheet with cut-outs for their eyes and nose makes for a classic ghost.
🕷️ Spider Pup: Use foam or pipe insulation for spider legs, attached to a vest or harness.
🦸 Superhero Cape: An old T-shirt can easily be transformed into a cape with a bit of creative cutting.
💮 Flower Dog: A colorful collar with petal-shaped fabric pieces makes for a cheery, blooming look.
Whether you buy or DIY, the most important thing is making sure your dog enjoys Halloween just as much as you do. After all, it’s all about having fun together!

Jessica recently took her Golden Retriever, Max, to Pupvacay’s Sniffspot in Oshawa, and it was an absolute blast! Max had the entire park to himself—leash-free, running around without a care in the world.
And the best part? There was an adorable Halloween photo op (with some simple costumes) for him! Jessica had never seen him so happy (or photogenic in his little pumpkin bandana).
Whether you book for an hour or just 30 minutes, having a private space for your dog to explore and play freely is such a refreshing change from the usual dog park chaos. Plus, that photo op makes for some great memories.
If you're in the area, it’s definitely worth checking out—and there’s even a $5 coupon for your first visit!

Every Dog has it's Day!

Have you ever been in the middle of singing “Happy Birthday,” and the birthday boy dog lifted his leg and peed on the table? If you haven't, you're lucky or have never attended a dog’s birthday party.

According to The Wall Street Journal, dog birthday parties and adoption anniversaries are the latest social event trends. According to a recent YouGov survey, many Canadian dog owners buy gifts and celebrate their pets' birthdays.

This trend is indicative of the growing affection people have for their pets. A majority of Canadians (62%) own pets, and 97% of those owners consider their pets to be a part of their family.

Pupvacay's Sniffspot is the perfect place to hold your dog party in a fully fenced, off-leash, dog-safe place to have fun!
