55Great sniff spot, good designated parking, plenty of grass. Our girls enjoyed playing with all the toys and puppy pool. Please watch out! The only thing we did have to watch out for was down the long trail from the house we found there were a bunch of Cactus. Our girls being young had never seen cactus before and didn’t know to avoid them. They do now.
55Beautiful property, my god had a great time sniffing around and being off leash.
55Dogs had a blast!
55One of my dogs favorite places on earth! Always a great time for all of us
55Tim was very communicative and helpful. The property is quiet, well maintained, and my dogs had an absolute blast! The property is set back far from the road, which offered some extra piece of mind!

Location

Calhan, Colorado

Description

Ruff 'n Rugged Acres is perfect for high drive, high energy dogs. We are an easy 20 minute drive from Woodmen Rd & Marksheffel Rd on the east side of Colorado Springs. This is a great location to work on your off leash training or your dog can burn off some of that pent up energy. It has a neatly mowed area of approximately 2 acres, mowed, well marked trails totaling about 1 mile, with the remainder of the area in native grasses and vegetation. On any visit you may see cottontail rabbits, jack rabbits, pronghorn antelope and other wildlife native to this area. The parking area is a good distance from the entrance so you can unload and load your dogs safely without having to worry about traffic. We have a great view of Pikes Peak, well away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Quiet, peaceful & relaxing. You will enjoy your visit just as much as your dogs. We also have a full fenced area of approximately 2200sq ft. for dogs under 40 lbs. Best of all, you don't have to worry about or deal with "Dog Park Drama" like you do when you visit a public dog park!!!

Frank's Place - 5 Acres of Play Space

Fully Fenced
5 acres

Welcome to our private, fully fenced 5-acre Sniffspot on Frank Road, designed for safe off-leash play and relaxed exploring. This is a quiet, secure space where dogs can run freely, sniff to their hearts’ content, and enjoy real outdoor enrichment without the stress of public dog parks. Many guests find it ideal for reactive dogs, shy dogs, high-energy dogs, or dogs that simply love having room to roam. The property includes a mix of open running areas and natural tree-lined spaces, giving dogs variety while owners enjoy mountain views, peaceful surroundings, and benches for resting. The entire area is fully fenced so you can relax while your dog explores. You’ll find poop bags and a trash bucket provided, and there is plenty of space to wander at your own pace. My own dogs are small dachshunds, so I pay attention to secure fencing and safe access for small dogs as well as large dogs. If this is your first visit, take a moment to browse the photos to see the layout and features, and read the reviews to hear what other visitors and their dogs enjoy most. When you're ready, choose a time and book a visit — we’d love to host you.

Charlie's Hideaway fully fenced 9 acres in Black Forest

Fully Fenced
9 acres

Welcome to Charlie’s Hideaway - your dog's new favorite adventure spot! 🐾🐾 This 9-acre, fully fenced native pasture (with 4’ wire square fencing) is made for sniffing, zoomies and exploring. Rolling hills, patches of short and tall grass & a sandy area give your pup plenty of variety to roam and investigate. This private space is also a great fit for reactive dogs or those who need a calm, low-traffic environment. Street parking is available near the entrance and a two-gate entry system provides an added layer of security - allowing you to enter at your own pace and help your dog transition calmly into the space. As you come through the gate, you'll find a covered canopy and welcome station with fresh water, clean bowls, poop bags, toys and towels - everything you need for a comfortable visit. Chairs are available so you can sit back, relax and soak in those gorgeous Pike Peak views while your dog does their thing. Wildlife sightings are part of the charm - you may see hawks overhead, rabbits in the grass and occasionally deer passing by. Two resident barn cats also live on the property, but they're very shy and rarely seen. Please help keep Charlie's Hideaway clean and enjoyable for everyone by picking up after your dog (poop bags are provided and a trash can is located at the gate). Please review the Sniffspot visitor guidelines before your visit and then come ready to enjoy a peaceful, private outing with your pup!
