Three plus private fully fenced in acres of running and romping in the woods. (Thei is no lighting in The Field, if coming after dark, bring a flashlight) | Sniffspot
55The place was beautiful and large enough for plenty of romping around with three doggos! The kiddie pool was full and ready, a favorite for the dogs, and they even had towels and three treats at the ready to give it just an extra nice touch~ Absolutely recommend!Mallory M.

This was our first visit. Lovely property! It had an open yet woodsy feel, which we loved. Lots of places for the dogs to safely explore and room to run. Our dogs, a standard poodle and a miniature poodle had a lot of fun exploring and sniffing.
Thank you! We enjoyed ourselves very much and we definitely plan to visit again. 😊Deb M.

55Seriously this is one of the best yards. Frankie had a blast in the kiddie pool and hose, going full throttle. We appreciate how clean the pool and area is, the basket of treats, toys, bug spray, hand sanitizer, plus the towels. The hosts are top notch. Kim Maria K.

55Lovely rolling hill on an acre property. Nicely fenced. The dogs LOVED their time running and fetching 100%, despite a rainy day. The kiddie pool was perfect for taking a refreshing break. I appreciated a dry place to sit for 2 minutes out of the rain. Note that the vegetation is the perfect height & leafiness for losing the ball. Pay attention to where your flinged-ball lands and bring extras. I found 4 in the yard 😂 Karen M.

55This is a lovely space and my dog really enjoyed it. It was clean, well-appointed, and had secure fencing all around.
My dog did run through a patch of burrs or something at the very back of the property and that was a bit of an adventure getting those all out of her coat and harness. Despite that, I would recommend!Nichole N.

55Chelsea’s wonderful yard had some burdock burr plants that self seeded - hard to remove from long haired dogs especially. She worked hard to remove them to make her great yard even better. Thanks Chelsea!Karen B.

55I visited today with two dogs and they had a great time. It's a huge, very private fenced backyard in a quiet neighborhood .... tons of room for dogs to run and explore.Nancy S.

55Chelsea is an excellent communicator. She was responsive with questions before the visit and provided clear information regarding how to get into the Sniffspot. Calling it a dog haven is accurate! It is a beautiful yard with plenty of space for puppers to sniff and run. Thank you for sharing your space. We'll definitely be back.P. A.

FAQ about our Minneapolis dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
