55Amazing spot, our pup's favorite so far! Delena provided clear instructions and reminders and there was the cutest welcome sign and package for us when we arrived. Fencing was super secure. It was muddy after the rains but we were notified in advance to wear boots. So many toys, agility setups, etc. for us to play with. And even a place to put toys for sanitation after use. Will definitely be back. Thank you for being such a thoughtful host!Ariel D.

55We felt welcome from the moment we arrived. Our names were on the white board that greeted us, and there was a lovely package for Piper that included an orange ball and an assortment of treats. Delena's yard is spacious and includes a variety of areas of interest to dogs (open space, woods, a pond, etc.). There is a collection of toys for your dog to play with — all freshly washed. And there are chairs for humans if you'd like to sit down for a while. All in all, a terrific SniffSpot, and one that we'll be revisiting.William B.

55We had such a lovely time. There was a sweet greeting and treats for our girl. While there were a multitude of toys for her to play with she was drawn to the balls and live ducks that hung out in the pond. It was nice to see her run free and live her best life. Thank you for sharing your backyard with us. Khava D.

55Arriving to the place we saw a sign welcoming us. It had my name and my pups name and the owner included a treat bag. The small touches mean a lot to my pup and me. It previously rained that morning we arrived a bit later from our time because I was waiting for the rain to go away. Overall, my pup enjoyed it, it was muddy but the owner informed us before hand. The only thing I would recommend would be having some smaller toys for smaller pup but everything else was fantastic. I was able to hose my dog down after he was busy playing in the mud. Perfect place if your dog is a digger. tina n.

55Exactly as described. Glad I wore waterproof hiking boots 🥾 my dogs had a grand time running around in the woodland backyard! Easy to find and lots of sticks to enjoy. The treats afterwards were a nice plus. We will be back!LEEANN Y.

55This was such a fun spot!!! Lucy and Dobby absolutely loved it. Dobby especially loved the little pond! And I appreciated the doggy wash station :) It was super easy to find, there was a sign with some treats on arrival, and the area was well-fenced without other dogs or people around. Highly recommend! 🐾 Jess C.

FAQ about our Algona 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Algona 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 279 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 50 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.
