55Great spot- and close to our home. Clean, lots of points of interest for our dog. She had three beautiful chickens- Walter was very interested til he poked his little nose through their fence- they weren’t afraid and gave him a swift peck on the nose, thus curing him of future chicken hassling 😂. Thanks for the use of your yard:)Elaine R.

55We had a great time at this sniff spot! Really nice big fully fenced yard, with a pen of chickens too! The chickens were very quiet and chill, 2 of my dogs loved meeting them through the chicken wire 😊 My 3rd was very suspicious of the chickens 😂 Anyways, we will definitely visit again, especially during the summer!Megan M.

55We had an amazing experience at this Sniffspot! Sara, the owner, went above and beyond to make our visit special. She thoughtfully set up an agility course tailored to my dog’s training, which was such a wonderful and unexpected touch. The space is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for dogs to explore and play safely. You can tell Sara truly cares about creating a positive and enriching experience for both dogs and their owners. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great off-leash adventure!Madilyn L.

55🐾 Wrecking Havoc at Our Favorite Spot! 🐾
There’s nothing my crazy crew loves more than running wild at Paws Abilities Sniff Spot! 🌿🐕 It’s their ultimate playground where they can sniff, zoom, and unleash their inner chaos.
Watching them go all out—chasing, wrestling, and just being their goofy, happy selves—fills my heart. ❤️ There’s something magical about a safe space where dogs can just be dogs.
Thank you, @pawsabilitiesmn for creating a haven for our furry wrecking balls! 💥🐾 We’ll definitely be back for more sniffing and shenanigans soon.Madilyn L.

55Paws Ability is an absolute blessing! The big things for me were, in addition to indoor space for my dog to play, (1) safety and (2) space. PA has both — their floors are rubber matted so my dog can run around inside as if he were running in a grassy summer field. Other places have epoxy floors that are still very slippery and I don’t feel good about it. Secondly, their space is plenty big enough for my 25lb dog to be able to run around and get his energy out. We were able to take many breaks from some enriching training work to just chase a frisbee and tug on a rope toy. I really appreciate their facility and I can’t wait to go back!Ryan R.

55What a great spot! Clean, and big enough for our two large dogs to run around and play. Especially good at containing my big boy who is a fence jumper. It was nice to not worry about that at all!Carrie S.

55We found this place recommended on the TC Reactive Dog Facebook group and can see why! Pawsability staff was so kind - Heather was there to greet us and gave us a quick rundown. I didn’t have to worry about all the normal triggers my dog has so we were both able to relax and have some fun training together. Will definitely be back, thanks for sharing this space!Nicole L.

FAQ About Inver Grove Heights 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.
