55We return here as often as we can— this is truly such a gem! The dogs absolutely love running up and down the bank of the creek. They had a blast, and we did too. Thanks for sharing this wonderful place. Jane G.

55We so enjoyed our visit! Lots of variation in the trail gradient and environment to keep our dog excited and exploring! An impressively maintained trail system for a private property! Glad we came prepared for spring mud. We’d love to visit in summer too! Thank you for sharing such an awesome space! Kelsey L.

55A lovely property with lots of trails! My dog loved all the running and sniffing. As a heads up to reactive dog owners, we could hear dogs barking and the fence was down in some parts. However, that wasn’t a problem for us. Brooke H.

55What an incredible spot. If your dog has good recall or sticks close by, Poppy’s is perfect. There’s some spots where the fencing is down or non-existent, but it’s still very easy to see where you’re supposed to stay. Our hunting dog had a blast. Beatrice K.

55We spent a lovely afternoon at this sniff spot! It was so expansive and gorgeous! We did encounter a very large and in charge raccoon and some gunshots from the neighbors, neither of which were an issue for our very unbothered labrador. If your dog is confrontational with wildlife or startled by loud sounds, definitely note that this sniffspot is beautiful, heavily wooded and the home for lots of wild creatures. We had an absolute blast and will definitely be back to explore this stunning spot again! Molly Z.

55A wonderful, expansive space with lots of nature and interesting terrain for the pups to explore! My dog and her best friend had an amazing time running and sniffing around. There is a little creek in the middle of the property that the dogs absolutely loved to wade around in. We will be back for sure! Eunbee C.

55This was our first time coming to this Sniff Spot and our two pups loved it! As long as your dog has decent recall, this place is fabulous. Walking trails, woods, high grass, an open area for playing fetch -- it has it all!Erin N.

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.
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. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Chaska 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 217 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 415 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.
