55My pup is dog aggressive so we decided to try out sniffspot. This was the best first experience we could have had! My dog has never tried agility but LOVED the course here! We hope to visit again. Being all fenced it made us feel a lot safer and knowing we can run him like crazy without a leash! Definitely will be back to visit. Gabrielle H.

55This was the most incredible time for me and my pup. Absolutely stunning views, peaceful and quiet, hundreds of hummingbirds and so much space for Bjorn to explore. I am so very thankful to have been given the opportunity to come visit such a magical place! 🥰🙏🏻 Thank you!!!Lawra M.

55Melissa's Sniffspot is incredible! We recently rescued two malamutes and need space with a secure fence to let them run, explore, and practice training. This location was everything we needed and more. Melissa has thought of everything in terms of security and amenities. It is absolutely worth the drive from Denver.Katie H.

55The dogs had a great time! They ran around, sniffed, and just enjoyed being off leash in a forest setting. This spot was clean, and has lots of shade, water, and plenty of agility toys.Inez W.

55Incredible spot for dogs to play and explore — offering both a flat agility course area (mostly in the sun) and a large wooded area on a large slope. Our dog is reactive with other dogs and after not being able to play in a dog park for years he had the time of his life here. We’ll definitely be back!Logan D.

55This place was a reactive dogs heaven and the host was so accommodating and kind. Water available, directions/descriptions were perfect, and as she explained cell reception didn’t work as a T-Mobile user. I’d give it six stars if I could. Trish S.

55We had an incredible time just being able to let our dog-reactive GSD roam and sniff off-leash. The instructions and amenities were so generous as well!Alayna H.

55This place is magical. It’s tucked away and secluded. You don’t have to worry about anyone else. You don’t have to worry about your dogs running away because it’s securely fenced with a sturdy fence too. Cell service doesn’t work unless you have ATT so make sure you screenshot the directions and other important stuff! Our dogs LOVED it. They’ve never experienced anything like it before and we can’t wait to go back. It’s easy to get up there too! Yvette R.

55Wow, what an amazing place! The agility equipment was sturdy and well laid out and so much fun!! It’s a wonderful property with so many thoughtful touches; lots of fresh water for your dogs, fun toys, poop bags, shelter (for you and your dogs), and elevated mats for lounging. It’s a puppy paradise. It’s clean and spacious and the wooded area is big and fun to explore with really great terrain. I will absolutely be coming back. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful space with all of us!!Jocey H.

55Highly recommend checking out this spot. My dog is reactive but loves being off-leash to explore, so having somewhere we could do that was amazing. We also tried out the agility equipment, which was lovely! It is a dog paradise. Kelsie G.

55We had the most lovely time at this sniffspot! It was our first ever sniffspot experience and it will be hard to beat! We tried out the agility equipment, took a little hike around the quiet, private, and totally fenced in forested area, and played with the toys that were in a bin. So well maintained and plenty of water available for our dog! It was clean, quiet secure, and beautiful. Morgan R.

55Beautiful location. This was my first time trying sniffspot. It was great to be able to wander in the forest with my high prey drive dog and not have to handle a long line or leash. The agility field was nice too! I personally enjoyed hearing and seeing all the birds as well. Katie C.

55This is an excellent spot - the agility field was an open, level place for our dogs to check out and get comfortable in before they moved to the more rugged (but fenced!) terrain. They had plenty of space and interesting things to explore, and it kept them very busy for the full time we were there!Holly S.

55We are VERY careful with fencing because our dog has zero recall and a real enthusiasm for chasing woodland creatures and this fencing was excellent! It was the perfect combination of letting our dog get to feel like she was independently exploring nature while giving the humans a beautiful location to relax and listen to the birds (there were so many birds and wildflowers - it was incredible!). This space is clearly set up by someone who understands all the little quirks and needs a dog might have. It was a 4 hour drive round trip for our group and worth every second in the car. We will absolutely be back!Colleen D.

FAQ about our Idaho Springs dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
