55Great yard! Plenty of room for a dog to run and explore between the two fenced yards and particularly enjoyed having a woodsy space to explore. Neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Had a question about the space during our visit and Jena was very quick to reply. My dog had fun!Melissa A.

55The space was great. Or dog is very reactive but had a great time running around the yard and wasn't even bothered by the dog and kids a couple houses away. There's plenty of space and the neighborhood is quiet. Wish we had boots for the dog as her feet started getting cold and ice covered in the snow (after trying to lick/bite the snow from between her toes ). But that was definitely our fault. We didn't get a chance to explore the wooded area in the back so we will definitely be back! Kathy E.

55Good sized yard and woodland for exploring. It is near a busy road so reactive dogs will have either a distraction or a training opportunity. I do hope they put up a full fence on the woodland--that would be great! Lisa P.

55This was my first Sniffspot experience ever and I was pleasantly surprised! It felt like I could just take my dog to the property and not have to worry about anything else. There was bug spray for you and your dog, water, and plenty of toys for your dog to enjoy (frisbee, balls, ball throwers). The area was well-kept, clean and secluded. There were a lot of bugs, but there is a nice covered tent you can hide out in. My dog was nice and tired when we left. I will definitely be booking again! :)Taylor C.

55We visited Stacy’s Sniffspot for the first time today and had a great time! It was so nice to have a fully-fenced in place to let my dogs run, sniff and just be dogs. Even though we didn’t use any of it, she thoughtfully provided water, toys, bug spray, etc. The property was clean, the trails were well-maintained, and my dogs were very intrigued by the rooster sounds!

55What a perfect spot! Our dog Stella had an amazing time, running through this spacious, grassy and woodsy area! The secure fence meant we felt safe letting our reactive dog run free to her heart’s content, and the surrounding area was quiet and peaceful – not another dog in sight to set her off! The host Stacey thought of everything – there’s water and toys, bug spray and even a mesh tent for when you want to escape the bugs. This may now be one of our all-time favorite SniffSpots!Madelynn A.

55Easy to book and find the property. Makes me really want to move to this area because it’s so open and quiet! Sniffspot itself was fully secure for my pup Willow and she really loved romping through the woods! She is usually on leash most of the time when we walk/hike in the woods so she was confused at first when I took her harness/leash off and said she was free! She loved running up to and through all the trees and was in pure heaven. She stayed close by me most of the time which was really nice but encouraged her to run her zoomies. We worked on recall and even played a little frisbee. The grounds were really clean and saw the nice chairs for relaxing but I didn’t relax much. Willow thoroughly enjoyed hearing and watching the roosters/chickens from the parking spot. She said she would like it even more if she could have a playmate to run and play with so hopefully we can find another pup to join us. Definitely worth the money and the drive (I live close to an hour away). Will be nice to come back here in the winter for sure!! Melanie G.

55Wonderful oasis that is just perfect for our two high energy dogs! Plenty of space for them to get up to speed and LOTS of areas to sniff and explore. Both pups were thoroughly tuckered when we got home, a rare feat for these two. Will definitely be back!Amy T.

55This is a great area! Lots of trails for dogs to run around and sniff. I like how the trees are thick enough where it looks like a forest but so thick where I can't see my dogs running on the other side/in them.Rachelle V.

FAQ about our Ham Lake 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ham Lake 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 154 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 22 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.
Are there dog agility courses for rent in Ham Lake?
Sniffspot has dog parks with agility equipment and/or dog obstacles in or near Ham Lake. The most popular agility option is Dreamdogos Private Dog Park In Isanti.
