55I always love coming to visit Pepper's with my GF, Nori. I was showing off my strength with the barbell toy today and accidentally broke it. Sorry, Pepper...I will look for a replacement. Thanks for always being such a great host. Looking forward to coming back again!Sue M.

55What a great space for pups to run and sniff!! The fencing is great and there's plenty to check out. I didnt see a garbage bin for dog 💩 but beyond that it was perfect and we will be back!Jess S.

55Our first Snifspot experience! Tim's backyard was exactly as advertised: clean and open. We chose the spot because of the reviews said there was a hill. My boys ran up and down and were nice and tired after our hour! There is a bit of a plateau in the middle of the yard that offers a place to sit and a good place for the dogs to rest. It's so convenient to our house, we can't wait to go back!Mollee E.

55I always have the best time playing with my friend here. Today we spent a ton of time sniffing the perimeter of the yard before playing with all the toys. My mom always brings some of my favorites, but Pepper has so many good ones there to share with us that I really don't need my own. There was a bowl of water that tasted so good we finished is all and mom had let me drink out of my bottle she brought too. We love coming to visit and can't wait for the next time! Thanks for being such a pawsome host Pepper!Sue M.

55I had a blast again racing around Pepper's yard and playing tug and keep-away with my bestie! I love the big bowl of yummy water because I can dunk my entire head in it. The chickens are fun to visit too. I wish they could come out and play chase, but mom says that would be a bad idea so I just go and say hi when I am not running around. I love the agility jump too...mom gives me treats when I go over it. There are so many toys to play with that sometimes I forget that mom brought mine too. Can't wait for my next visit!Sue M.

55My friend Nori and I had a blast coming to visit our chicken friends at Pepper'a again! We love to chase and there is plenty of space here to do that. There are a few cool places to hide from our mom's as we explore too so we can get treats when we come to them when they call us! Today there wasn't too much snow, but we raced around a lot and even dug a little in the sandbox. I tried to bury Nori's frisbee. 🤭 They always have lots of fun toys out for us to play with and they were so nice to let us know they were out of town this time so we could bring our own water. I look forward to every visit!Sue M.

55Wonderful fenced yard with wooded and open areas! Had lots of balls out for our pups to play with along with water bowl! Our dogs loved the chickens and would check in on them periodically before chasing each around! We will definitely be back! Winifred O.

55I had a great playdate with my pal Koda here today. We raced and chased all over! I like exploring along the fence and watching anything that passes by. I am also fascinated by the chickens, but my Mom tries to keep me from bothering them. It has been almost a year since I got to come visit and I hope I don't need to wait as long to come back again! Thanks for a fun afternoon.Sue M.

55Our pup had an excellent time. Plenty of room for sniffing and chasing tennis balls. This was a great location that was very accessible within a quiet neighborhood. Ginny B.

55Very nice fenced in yard. 6 foot fence and lots of shade The whole backyard is built on a hill, so it was nice to have my dog run up and down the hill to make her exercise a little more strenuous.Jen Z.

55Fence was solid and tall enough to keep my pup in and not distracted. Yard is clean and well equipped with seating, water for the pups, and a garbage can with hand sanitizer. Would definitely return!Kaylissa V.

FAQ About Minnetonka 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.

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.
