The Dog Network

The Dog Network A website featuring a directory of dog-parks, hikes, businesses, events, blog posts and more! The Dog Network was inspired by my German Shepherd Avy.

We were always looking for new places that we could go adventuring with her - and found information on the internet was spotty at bet. So we created the Dog Network! Full of a directory of dog-friendly hikes, dog parks, dog beaches and swimming spots, dog-friendly patios, businesses and more!

A Website For Dog Owners, By Dog Owners

Hi there! We are Matt and Stacey, two dog loving people who decided to make a website. The idea for the dog network started when Stacey first got a dog and began the long process of trying to find the best dog parks, trails and hikes to go explore with her new pup. She quickly found that information was not always easy to come by and started to compile her own list of favourite places. From this the dognetwork.ca was born.

Now our website features a directory of off-leash dog parks, beaches and trails from around the Province. We also have a blog where we feature helpful articles about dog care, favourite places to go and more. One of our favourite things to do is to travel so we have started to feature posts about dog friendly destinations and everything you need to know when you get there.

We are constantly adding new content and locations so check back often to see what is new! We’d also love to hear from you. If you have a favourite park or dog friendly place let us know and we’d be thrilled to add it. Thanks for stopping by our page.

Matt and Stacey
