55Happy poodle enjoying some sunshine and play at Happy Hounds Sniffspot.
55I just adopted Bowie, a 3 yr old female yellow lab, a week ago. She's super sweet but has a lot of anxiety that makes her seem aggressive. She has a very loud bark and jumps a lot. She hasn't shown any signs of aggression, but her bark and activity level can scare people and dogs. We are working on those things. She also needs a lot of exercise and while there is a beautiful dog park about 2 miles from my house, it's just not an option at this time. I loved being able to take Bowie to this fenced in yard. The fence is at least 6 ft high. It's chain link with a privacy covering. The hosts had water set out in several places, toys, poop bags, and chairs around a fire pit. Bowie sniffed everything, she ran, and she played a little catch. I could see her calm down as she played and explored. She loved it, wore herself out, and slept all the way home. We will definitely be back.
55Happy Hounds is an 11/10 experience! We brought our resident dog and our foster pup to enjoy the space. We were initially impressed with our names on the welcome sign and the clear sniff spot signage. The yard is spacious and shady during the afternoon we were there. Wonderful Adirondack chairs and fire pit area for the humans. Fresh water bowls were ready for us upon arrival. Organized dirty/clean bins, poop bags, labeled trash bins were all among the amenities. Our dogs enjoyed the provided treats! We had an amazing time & can’t wait to visit again.
55Super personable host and a very secure space! Our GSP/greyhound mix had plenty of space to run, there were provided bowls of water, clean toys, and tinted fencing to discourage distractions. Awesome for a high energy, reactive dog like ours.
55Thanks to Anna for hosting us and our dog for some backyard shenanigans! Yard and amenities were clean and easy to find/use.
55Our favorite Sniffspot is so well maintained with lots of room to run, sniff and play. Host very welcoming, too.
55Great secure yard! This was our first time using sniffspot and plan to return!
55Anna's place was AMAZING! I think I loved it even more than the dog! It was clean, well marked, the toys were a great touch and the dog treats she loved. I would come back and suggest this place to anyone! Well done Anna what a peaceful yard and awesome place for dogs! Thank you!
55We love this yard! It’s clean, quiet, and has the best amenities. Belinda and Rocco had plenty of space to romp around and take breaks in the shade.
55This is a great spot with plenty of space for the pup to run. Belinda appreciated the toys and bowls of water. It was a warm day to run, but there are several shady spots for a break.

Making many "Happy Hounds" is our goal! We were inspired to open a Sniffspot by our resident dog Bear, who is highly reactive but LOVES to run off leash. We wanted our yard to be a safe haven for him and other dogs, too! We are always available to answer questions! Please don't hesitate to reach out. Cheers!

90 minute time slot. We have an open 70 acres surrounding a private pond with a trail thru the fields and woods around nature. The time allotment is 90 minutes only. We ask that our guests park by the barn and go straight to the lake then to the left around the lake. Trails are marked. It is about a 1 mile trail or more. trails are not plowed open in the winter but are perfect for snow shoeing, hiking an fat tire bikes in the snow on the trails or perfect spring to fall on the maintained trails.

Great spot with room to run, toys, some agility equipment, and seasonal plastic fur kid pool! Fully fenced: 1 side privacy fence, 2 sides chain link, and one side with the house and gate. Added FYIs: - Place bagged poop in the small garbage bin. πŸ—‘οΈπŸ’© - Please do not allow pups to dig or to enter the small separately fenced garden. 🌱πŸͺ - If you remember, it helps to throw "fetch" in lots of different directions to spread out the "wear and tear." IF something goes over the fence, do please just let us know (we will contact the neighbor)--**do not** physically step over the fence (it causes fence damage) 🏑 🀳🏻 - "Same day" bookings will probably have the bedtime and morning πŸ’© from my pups since I routinely only pick up after work during warm months. If you book 24+ hours in advance I can squeeze in an extra poo pickup before work. - *WINTER I pick up weekly, weather-permitting, so might NOT be a great spot for pups who eat poopsicles--you know who you are! πŸ’© ❄️ 🐢 🍨🍦 limited daylight and full time hospital work hours (I go to work and come home in the dark)

Maplewood Farm Dog Retreat | 5-Acre Nature Escape

Partially Fenced
5 acres

Welcome to Maplewood Farm Dog Retreat -- a peaceful 5-acre nature escape in south Maplewood near Battle Creek, just minutes from I-94 & McKnight. This is still undeveloped farmland, roughly the size of a city block, tucked into the suburbs, with rolling hills, mature trees, wooded trails, open field space, wildlife scents (ton of bunnies!), and a very different feel from a typical backyard spot. Dogs get room to run, sniff, explore, and decompress away from crowded dog parks, while hoomans can relax in the shade or bring family for a picnic. For history buffs, the property also has the only standing barn in Maplewood, built in 1896 and still in use. QUICK 30-MIN VISITS are great for pups who just need to burn energy, stretch their legs, or take a potty break. The main fenced play area is approx. 60 x 100 ft, with room for off-leash play, fetch, zoomies, a 7-ft spring pole, and the NEW Pup Parkour Platform for climbing, balancing, confidence-building, and play. Lots of balls, frisbees, tug ropes, and poop bags available. Water play includes a popular splash pad, bathing sprayer with doggie shampoo, and a fancy lawn sprinkler with settings for pups who love β€œeating water” lol! Parking is right next to the gate, with shaded seating and a hammock for the hoomans too -- sometimes suspiciously comfortable. Please remember, you did bring a dog ;) For 30-min visits, please use the fenced area only. The spot is largely SELF-SERVE. Water play should be on and ready when you arrive; please turn ALL water off when it’s not being used and before you leave, since I may not always be home to monitor it. I may or may not come out to say hi depending on my work schedule, so don’t wait for me -- just come in and enjoy your visit. I keep app notifications on and am good about responding, so message me anytime if you have a question or need something. For the FULL MAPLEWOOD FARM EXPERIENCE, I recommend booking 1–2 hours. Explore the fenced area, then head through the back gate for a slower long-leash walk through the wooded trails, around the barn and house, and toward the open field. There are also a couple trolley lines for semi-free roaming; the longer one runs over a road trail. Trolley attachments may be at either end of the line, so check both ends if you don’t see one right away. Signs and a property map in the photos help guide you, but feel free to explore and take whatever route suits you. My pups stay inside during reservations. Occasionally, I may be working in a designated area between the house and barn, mostly out of sight. Any active work area will be coned off -- just give it a little space. This is a natural, dog-friendly space with a manicured feel -- part private dog park, part little nature retreat. Dogs are welcome to explore, climb on logs and wood-chip piles, sniff around, chew or pull on branches, and dig -- even inside the fenced area. I’m not precious about the landscape here, esp since the property may be developed next year. While it’s still here, I want our furry friends to have it and enjoy it. Foster dogs and dogs with physical or sensory challenges are welcome for a steep discount. The spot is open pretty much anytime from early morning to midnight, so you can book around your dog’s energy, the weather, or your own schedule. LED night lights make evening visits easy, and nighttime can be much cooler for pups on hot days. Bug spray available. Supervised campfire use available -- privately message me. As a dog lover and builder, I pay attention to how pups actually use the space and keep adding small improvements and enrichment features as I go. The newest addition is the Pup Parkour Platform -- strongly built from logs and sawn lumber, with ramps, balance beams, climbing surfaces, and colorful stepping stumps for pups of different sizes and confidence levels. Your feedback is im-paw-tant to me! 🐾 🐾 Valeng and paw friends 🐾 🐾
