55My dogs had a blast running around the acreage here and we highly recommend it. It's wooded, so prepare yourself and your dogs to prevent ticks from finding their way home with you. We hope go come back frequently and to bring our future puppies here to work on recalls. It seems like a fabulous place to exercise dogs and work on recalls. Don't forger to bring water!Jamie S.

55Once again, our three Sighthounds had a GREAT time running for 1/2 hour and chasing the chucker ball. Right now I am looking at 3 very tired Salukis. This Sniff Spot is a safe, large area for any type of dog and by far beats any dog park.Jean C.

55What a beautiful space to maintain and share! It was truly a gift to enjoy this lovely spot. Our dog is reactive to other dogs fairly consistently, which is so limiting for us and her time outdoors. Having a place to let our beagle mix sniff and bound around freely filled us all with joy. We will be back soon!Rachael B.

55A great location to spend a couple of hours with your pups. Private and accommodating for those like myself who can’t or don’t want to visit a public dog park. The host is very helpful and friendly. My dogs absolutely loved running and exploring this acreage. Very safe and very fun. Lacey M.

FAQ about our Brainerd 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. 100% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Brainerd 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 5 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 1 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.
