Top Public & Private Dog Parks in Elk River, MN

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)

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.***

Pam's 1 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Andover

I recently had to cut down 14 trees due to Ashbore. Some Cedar were included. Because of that I have a large landscaping project Im working on. I rarely see other dogs unless the neighbors are dog sitting a family dog. I do hear other dogs bark at times. I back up to the Anoka Rum River Reserve. There are about 300 acres and I have 2 access points onto the trails. I rarely passed other people or dogs. I always had my dogs off leash. They did well with voice command. I typically only saw others on the main groomed trail. Small trails created from the deer are much less used. Caution should be used when trees have fallen over the trail. And take precautions with enclosed shoes, socks, and long pants to prevent wood ticks and deer ticks as much as possible. I always do a thorough check on my pets and myself. I do have a cat that comes and goes as he pleases through the pet door. He grew up with 2 med to large dogs. He can take care of himself if chased. I also have a pool ( currently needing a new liner) with a large deck. My dogs and cat enjoyed going under it to investigate or to rest in the shade. I also have many rabbits under sheds and wood piles.

Isabelle's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Monticello

Doggy DD's fully fenced yard in New Hope

I LOVE pups and understand that some need their own spot to roam and explore! My yard is completely fenced. I have a sanbox for digging. Lots of doggy toys, a water bowl on the porch and poop bags, a poop scooper and a designated trash can for convenience. I have pups of my own and do my absolute best to make sure all poops are scooped before you arrive…but can’t guarantee that I don’t miss any. There’ll be wipes and towels and bags for you to use. My pups are on premise, but will be secured inside. There is one small pup in the yard behind me that may/ may not be out. She will bark!

Our property offers a mix of open cleared areas, mowed trails, natural meadow, mature trees, and shaded areas. Whether your dog wants to race around doing zoomies, play fetch, follow an interesting scent down a trail, or simply wander and investigate, there’s plenty to discover. What you’ll find: Approximately 4 fully fenced acres Mowed trails through natural vegetation Large cleared areas for running, fetch, and play Shaded areas beneath mature trees A sitting area for humans while the dogs explore Lots and lots of interesting smells! A private alternative to crowded public dog parks A True Country Experience This is a natural rural property—not a manicured city dog park. Wildlife is common here, including deer, pheasants, gophers, and other small animals. Our own dogs frequently surprise a pheasant hiding in the grass, so dogs that love using their noses will have plenty to investigate. Because we maintain much of the acreage in its natural state, you’ll encounter tall grasses, native vegetation, burrs, seeds, uneven terrain, and changing conditions throughout the seasons. Gophers are also very active here, which means there are gopher mounds and holes throughout the property. Please watch your footing while exploring, and consider whether the terrain is appropriate for dogs or people with mobility concerns. We recommend doing a quick paw and coat check for burrs before heading home. Perfect for dogs who love to explore, dogs who need room to RUN, or anyone looking for a peaceful and private alternative to the traditional dog park. Four fenced acres. No crowds. Lots of sniffing. Come explore the trails, enjoy the country, and let your dog have an adventure!

We are currently building a dummy launcher that you will soon be able to use on-site with your own training dummies. • Enclosure & Safety: There is no fencing on this property. It is naturally bordered and enclosed by dense, thick wooded areas and heavy tree lines. Because of this, it is strictly recommended for dogs with an excellent, rock-solid recall or handlers training with long lines and tracking leads. • Wildlife & Scent Profile: This land is highly active! Your dog will encounter fresh bird and game scents from a massive variety of local wildlife, including pheasants, grouse, deer, turkeys, sandhill cranes, rabbits, foxes, moles, voles, and gophers. It provides an unmatched environment for building drive, pointing, or working on steadying your dog around intense natural distractions. • Terrain & Ground Cover: A 5-acre mix of tall brush, dense woods, natural high grass, and uneven dirt trails. Perfect for testing a dog's drive, spatial awareness, and navigation through thick cover. • The Brook Challenge: There is a natural brook on the property, but please note it features a steep incline and dense brush that makes it difficult to access. This provides an excellent, realistic challenge for advanced hunting dogs practicing difficult retrieves or tracking through thick obstacles. • Included Amenities: We provide portable camping chairs that you can carry into the field and return when finished. For basic cleanup, we supply two 5-gallon jugs of water for rinsing off your dog, along with paper water bowls. A trash can is on-site for paper bowls and poop bags only. • Handler Clothing & Pests: We strongly recommend handlers wear long pants due to the thick brush. Like any natural outdoor area, ticks are present, so please ensure your dog is on preventative care and check them afterward. Please bring your own towels for general use. 🎁 Premium Add-On: Warm Water Wash & Rinse Station Want to skip the messy car ride home? You can select our Premium Warm Water Wash Station as an add-on!

Look for the dog silhouette sign pointing directly to a small, private, off-road grassy parking area. This spot is located west of the main driveway and just east of the brook. • Warm Water Wash Bookings (Driveway Parking): If you ordered the warm water wash station in advance, please park directly in the main driveway. The station is hooked up in our driveway turnaround to stay within hose distance of the house spigot. • Leaving the Property: When your session is over, you can safely leash your dog to the post or use the wire kennel to secure them while you walk over to retrieve your vehicle from the parking area.
