55We have 3 yr old and 1 yr old Aussiedoodles. They had a marvelous time running and sniffing.
Our 3 year old is a stick eater. Since this was going to be our first time at this spot I messaged our host to make sure that it would be ok to remove sticks if they were there. I received a prompt and very nice reply.
This spot is clean, with excellent fencing, and the amenities listed are readily available.
We love the fact that there are both outdoor and indoor spaces here for our guys.Cheryl S.

55Melissa’s place meets my needs perfectly. Between the indoor and outdoor spaces, there is plenty of room for training and play for my 27 pounder. She has some beginning agility equipment but if you are seriously into agility you would want to bring at least some equipment with you. She supplies a huge jug of water, bowls, towels, balls, and probably lots of other stuff I haven’t seen or needed. I will be back. Kathy L.

55It was nice weather today so we spent some time outdoors in fully fenced area. My dog loves this place. He is so excited when he sees we’re here! (And so am I-and grateful!)Kathy L.

55Today was cold and sloppy, snowy wet so we were indoors only. We brought some equipment that Melissa doesn’t have and worked agility exercises with a break midway to throw a ball (there are plenty of balls there we are invited to use) in the attached large garage. I can’t wait for better weather to also get outdoors and enjoy the fenced yard. I have already booked another couple of times. Thank you for so generously sharing your fantastic space!Kathy L.

55Great space with a TON of amenities. Both our dog AND our kids got a real workout. Great layout to keep our dog busy and occupied between outside and inside activities. Kim P.

55We had a great time at Melissa’s Sniffspot today. We utilized the outdoor space for sniffing and play as well as the indoor space for a little bit of agility work. The facility was clean inside and out and fencing was very secure. The location was quite quiet and private, the only noise we heard while here was the natural wildlife (squirrels, birds). I will say the light switches were a little hard to find at first, but that was not a huge deal! We will likely be back again. Kaitlin S.

55I made my first visit to this place with no expectations since I am also new to Sniffspot. I chose it because of the indoor room in winter and the apparent size which would lend itself to practicing agility exercises. I walked in and was thrilled. I had a wonderful session with my dog and also used the outdoor fenced area for him to run off steam by chasing leaves. I look forward to visiting frequently in the future and using the outdoor space for agility training. Of the equipment on site, we used the tunnel and in future will probably use weave poles. I also brought some traffic cones and perches. There were also 2 jumps which we did not use. Huge jug of fresh water. This is a wonderful space for dogs. Thank you!Kathy L.

55Such a nice experience bringing two dogs to this Sniffspot this aftersoon. It's a huge yard with a very tall, secure fence. Lots of extras were available like toys (frisbee, ball launcher, etc.), water bowl, and even a small cooler with water bottles! There is an agility area that might be fun for some dogs that are into that. I'll definitely be back - highly recommended!Nancy S.

55Our pups loved it here! There were toys provided, water for both humans and pups, and doggie bags. Loved the sandbox, large open area, and clear and easy access instructions to the yard. Our pups were exhausted when it was time to leave. We will definitely be booking again! Caeli S.

Communication is great, arrival instructions are clear, and being able to park in the driveway is a huge benefit! Hannah S.

FAQ About Prior Lake 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.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Prior Lake area are 5 stars.
