55it is a nice open area. good for fetch. lots of area around chicken coop if you want to work control around distractions. I used it for practicing attention and walking on a loose leash before going to more interesting animals. I am trying to work towards a farm dog certification. its sorta like a cgc but has tasks, activities, distractions a working farm dog might see. my dog was mr bossy pants so we had to leave early because he was demand barking for his ball and interested in fence barking Did not want the sniff spot owner to have issues with neighbors. Unlike previous reviews i did not see any poop that wasnt outs and I cleaned ours up I assumed that that issue was because it was booked on short notice. It is my policy that if a sniff spot owner lets me book spur of the moment, i expect to help with yard cleanup for the privilege of a short notice booking. There was a toy I saw upon entering that looked like a dead chicken. It fooled me. Lol All in all it was a very positive visit

55We had a great time at this location. It is a large fenced in (chain link) area with lots of room for a 9 month old golden to run. There were some toys available. A ball that my retriever loved! We could hear a dog barking from inside an adjoining house but none were outside at the time of our visit. Ashley was super responsive for a same day rental request. Happy to recommend this spot for anyone who has a dog who needs room to run. It was just pure joy on my Golden's face as he ran to his little heart's content :)

55This is a new Sniff Spot. When we (my pup and I arrived) the property looked very nice and welcoming with lovely fall leaves for my pup to romp in. There was a pup next door in a fenced area who greeted us. The fenced entrance gate was secured. Unfortunately I was having a problem with my knee and couldn’t keep the appointment after all. The owner, Ashley, came out and asked if she could be of assistance. I encourage you to check out this spot. It looks very nice.

55Great yard to enjoy on a beautiful day! My dog enjoyed sniffing the entire yard and something behind the sliding glass door kept her busy. Blinds were shut so I don't know what it was. Perfect amount of room to play fetch, water with ice cubes was available, and a chair for me to relax in. I knew it was worth it when she actually laid down on the grass!

FAQ About Cottage Grove 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 Cottage Grove 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 395 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.
