Welcome to our private 10-acre wooded Sniffspot — a peaceful, secluded retreat for dogs and their people 🐾🌲Our property sits far off the road at the end of a 600-foot driveway, offering exceptional privacy, quiet, and safety. Once you arrive, you and your dog can relax and enjoy the space without traffic noise or close neighbors.The land features a cleared walking trail just over half a mile long that loops around the perimeter — perfect for leashed walks, sniffing adventures, or an easy jog. The woods are rich with wildlife, and it’s common to see deer, fox, pileated woodpeckers, and warblers along the way.There’s plenty of room for fetch, roaming, and relaxing, with chairs, benches, tables, and fresh water available for dogs. Families are welcome — we also have a swing set for children to enjoy while pups play.This space is ideal for dogs who love nature, need room to explore, or simply benefit from a safe, private environment to run and sniff at their own pace.

Quiet street in pleasant neighborhood just off 694 and Silver Lake Road. Fully fenced and easy access from the street. Relax near the "dog" pool while your dog explores the yard for new and interesting smells. Mostly open yard with a path through a woodsy pollinator area in back.

Fully Fenced

My backyard is almost 1 acre of fully fenced fun! Conveniently located, easy parking. Low visibility of other dogs or people. Tons of room to run and sniff! *Water is on. Read below for instructions.* The water is usually left ready to go, but the spigot on the side of the house is left off. To use it, open the valve on the side of the house by the driveway. Make sure the diverter that faces the backyard is open. When you leave, please shut it off again, it tends to drip otherwise. Thanks!

Angela's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Arden Hills

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Our backyard is a half acre of fully fenced fun! Conveniently located and ample parking. Tons of room to run and sniff! Half of the backyard is grass. The other half is a mix of pollinators and weeds awaiting my picking. It was all buckthorn when we bought the house in 2021 😬 I use natural methods to control weeds by hand picking, cardboard and tarps for smothering patches of weeds as I work on slowly planting the “wild area.” The cardboard is pretty ugly, but it’s very effective in killing invasive weeds. So far I’ve planted more than 150 varieties of perennials 🌻 I haven’t verified that all the plants are dog-safe so please take precautions by preventing your dog from eating the plants. Humans, please try to take care to not trample the perennials in the wild area ❤️
