55We had the best time at this Sniff Spot! I think this might’ve been the happiest my dog Rosie has been in all her 6 years—she was in pure sniffing heaven. We wandered the trails while she led the way, totally in her element.
The host was super thoughtful and left out extras like poop bags, tick spray for the dogs, and bug spray for humans—such a nice gesture! Pro tip: definitely use the bug spray!
One heads-up: if it’s recently rained, plan to get a little muddy. Some of the trails had steeper sections that were slick, but we managed just fine.
All in all, such a great experience. We can’t wait to come back!

55This is the second time my dogs and I have been to this Sniffspot. It was another great experience. My dogs loved exploring the trails and had a great time splashing around in the creek (and the mud lol). Bug spray and poop bags were provided which was a nice touch! Chelsey W.

55This Sniffspot was perfect for my reactive dog! It was quiet, private, and completely stress-free—exactly what we needed. There was plenty of open land for running and playing, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. You can really tell the host put care into making it a peaceful, safe space. We’ll definitely be coming back!Riley H.

55The mosquitoes aren't bad yet! The dogs have loved splashing through the creek with all the rain we've had. When it's rained, make sure not to park on the dirt or grass. We always have the best experience at Poppy's. Hannah S.

55Thanks for sharing your lovely property! There are groomed trails through both the woods and prairie sides. We were able to do multiple loops within our hourlong reservation. Our dogs had a blast! Instructions were clear and helpful. Bring a towel and something to cover the car seats as there is a lovely little creek running through that will result in muddy paws if your dogs venture down there but that’s all the more fun! Will definitely go again. So grateful that the owners open their slice of paradise for others to enjoy! Jessica B.

FAQ About Chaska 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.
