55Ronja and I loved Derek’s meadow. If you like a wide open, private space, this is your spot. I leisurely walked the perimeter of the meadow twice, which took me about 45 min. I then grabbed my chair and just chilled. Super nice!!! Ronnie did plenty of running and flushing rabbits. A lot of fun was had and tongues were hanging! There is plenty of brush to sniff and plenty of space to run. It’s a really pretty space. A couple of specs: I parked behind Derek’s house by the boulder but you can easily park by the hay bales. I walked past the hay bales and then through the gate to my right. The field is then in front of you. The field perimeter has barbed wired fence. Ronja has excellent recall which is probably what you want since the field is not fully fenced. You’re also far enough from roads. Thanks, Derek, for making your space available to us sniffers. We will be sure to be back!!!
55Big area. There was a cat running around (sorry kitty!) that my dog chased. Parking directions could be clearer, and which fence the directions refer to. My dog had an absolute blast running around. No water or waste disposal, so plan accordingly. Will return

Three plus private fully fenced in acres of running and romping in the woods. (9-26-26, duck hunting has begun, early am you may hear shotguns in the distance, for the noise reactive pups)

Fully Fenced
3 acres

Come and enjoy our own private 3plus acres of wooded with some open space and trails. Fully fenced in and secure. So much space for your fur babies to run and explore. No need to stress with other dogs that may be reactive. Or maybe your pup doesn’t play well with others and prefers their own space. Our private dog park is for you. This space is amazing. It is not attached to our back yard and is a completely separate and private area. A great place for play dates with others, maybe even a picnic for the humans. Bring your snowshoes if you would like a bit of a workout yourself off trail in the deeper snow! ***2-16-26 the field is in poor conditions due to the frozen ground and warm temperatures. Please watch your footing. Early morning guest the low areas will refreeze and be crazy slippery, later guests need waterproof boots. PLEASE NOTE: Zero tolerance for smoking of ANYTHING while on our property. You may smoke in your own personal vehicle. But also, do NOT leave your dogs unattended. Fill any holes you pup digs and return toy to bin. Also, in the winter months, please be aware that their is no lighting in the field. The designated Sniffspot parking area has ample lighting but none in the field. ***please note that Duck hunting has begun. If you arrive early in the am here, there is a possibility of hearing shotguns. You are perfectly safe as they are hunting along the Mississippi corridor but just a heads up for dogs that are sound reactive.***

**Formerly Pink Pitbull Club** We used to bring our dogs here to Pink Pitbull Club, and when the opportunity to buy came along we jumped on it. We have one reactive girl who has just loved having a huge yard to play and not worry about other people and dogs, I'm sure your pups will love it as well! The front gate is remotely controlled to let guests in, and a button on the inside of the gate for whenever you need to leave. There is a doorbell camera set up for when you arrive, just ring the bell, I'll say hello and let you in :). There's an additional doorbell camera right on the inside of the gate in case you need anything during your visit. I'm happy to chat on the app for any folks that are Deaf/HOH to get in or need help. The yard is 5ft fence with a privacy screen. There are trees and shrubs for your pups to sniff and explore, as well as a wide open lawn perfect for fetch. There are parkour options and a ball pit in the back of the yard and a toy box up near the gate. For summer, we've got some water options to keep your pups cool - a kiddie pool and splash pad, as well as the hose with a mister attachment! Towels provided to dry off before you leave.
