55This was my first Sniffspot experience and I just wish I discovered it earlier! My Beagle Mix rescue had an amazing time sniffing and running around. The toys and water bowl provided were much appreciated! Clare W.

55Stacy was a fabulous host and her property is dog heaven! One of our dogs is dog reactive so this was perfect for her to exercise off leash. The trails were shoveled and there were toys and blankets scattered around. Thank you Stacy and we will be back for sure!Helen I.

55What a haven for our reactive pup to have a veritable off leash dog park to explore, sniff and exercise! The plowed paths are super convenient for us to tromp alongside Marley so we can experience off leash dog walking as a family. Thank you, Stacy. We will be back. 😊🐕❤Susan S.

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.
