Rice Creek Sniffspot

Welcome to our backyard oasis! A fully fenced in backyard with lots of space to run. We have three young kids, so we have a lot of toys and a sandbox. We also have a gazebo available for you to sit while your pup is enjoying our space. *In the winter months, there are two chairs and a small table out. We don’t shovel our deck or patio, so enjoy the snow everywhere! Please enter in the gate on the right side of the house when looking at the house. There is a bungee cord on the fence to keep our dog and kiddos in, please re-secure the cord tightly when you leave.

**SPRING UPDATE - Our gate is still fully iced shut but we are hoping with the upcoming warmer temps, we will be ready to open things back up sometime in early/mid April. Our yard has some large puddles that happen in spring and we would prefer to wait until those dry a bit so 1) our grass doesn't get too torn up and 2) you don't have seriously muddy pups to put back in the car! :) ---------------------- Let your dog have fun and run off some energy! Our large, flat yard is newly updated with a solid, 6ft vinyl privacy fence. We provide seating and shade for the humans and water bowls, toys and occassionally treats and a small pool for the pups. We live in a neighborhood that is all single family homes so as you can expect, many of our neighbors have dogs. You may hear them while you are in our yard and if our neighbor’s dogs are out on their deck, your dog will see and hear them but they cannot come face to face. We also have yard lights too if you come later in the evening.

WELCOME! 👋 Our yard is enormous. Enjoy! PLEASE READ: • ⚠️ WINTER 2023 UPDATE: The deep snow has raised the ground surface, so the fences currently do not provide their full 3' of height. There is potential for large athletic dogs to be able to jump the fence. Please be advised as you visit, and ensure your dog will be secure in our yard considering these seasonal circumstances. •💧WATER UPDATE: Our hose has been put away for the season. We look forward to getting it back out this Spring :) • 🐕 ‼️ 👀 DOG NEXT DOOR: There is a dog that lives next door to the south that is *sometimes* outside in the backyard. He is a friendly, excited, medium-sized dog. • 🪟 WINDOW SHADES can be closed if that is best for your pup(s). Just message me in the app and I can close them if we are home. • 🚫🧪 We are a strictly NO PESTICIDES and NO HERBICIDES yard. • 🏖 We have a SAND PIT for digging under the big birch tree, and more places to dig along the back fence. • ⚠️ There is a GAP IN THE FENCE at the gate in the back of the yard. VERY SMALL DOGS CAN ESCAPE through here. You may temporarily place the board across the gap if necessary, but please remove it when done as this is a passage for the rabbits.

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! 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. Please pick up after your dog. I am finding a crazy amount of poop left behind. Fill any holes you pup digs and return toy to bin. Thank you.

*Water is off for the Winter* Our 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! New in Fall 2022, we have a patio and gazebo for humans to enjoy!

Fully fenced: 1 side privacy fence, 2 sides chain link, and one side with the house and gate. Place bagged poop in the small garbage bin. Please do not allow pups to dig or to enter the small separately fenced garden. Sometime late summer I'll be adding a cement walkway and patio by the hose, so there may be some associated blocked days. Added FYI: if you book 24+ hours in advance I can do extra poo checks in the yard. Same day bookings will probably have the bedtime and morning 💩 from my pups since I routinely only pick up after work during warm months. *Winter I pick up weekly, so might not be a great spot for pups who eat poopsicles--you know who you are!*

Plenty of room to run with a stock tank pool for keeping cool.

In mid/late March through May our yard will be intermittently unavailable. We appreciate your patience! If you're unsure if the yard is available, please message and ask! We'll do our best to accommodate! We are a rescue friendly home specializing in training and advocating for dogs with behavior challenges. We know how hard it can be to find a quiet yard to train your reactive or fearful dog and we would love to help. Located in an Eagan culdesac, our fenced .34 acre backyard is well-maintained and provides room to run. Let us know if we can be of help! Ann & Adam Maves (and our resident pups) Feel free to use the screened-in porch while your pups play. We offer indoor and outdoor seating with television access (during the summer months). Wifi information provided upon request!

Two minutes from Maple Grove Target with a country feel. Just under 2 acres for your doggy to roam. Medium tree cover and mostly flat - perfect for a good game of fetch! No dogs live here, so you'll have privacy as if it's your own yard. Our two and four legged friends alike like the nature area in the back of the lot!

You will love being here.
