55It was quiet, with good fencing. There's a small gap in the gate opening that a tiny dog could escape, but i felt safe with my small dog. They enjoyed it, we will be back! Roxanne O.

55My reactive pup quickly adapted to the place and gained lots of skill and confidence in the hour we spent playing around and testing out agility equipment. We will definitely be back again!Samantha P.

55Beautiful property with many new sights and activities! This was our first time using SniffSpot and we couldn’t have had a better experience. There are chickens on the property, but don’t worry they are fenced in. Play area had plenty of shaded areas, two kiddie pools, and ample room for the dogs to run around. Hosts were very kind, had designated trash area and extra poop bags in case you run out! They also provided a handful of toys. Thank you for having us, and we will be back!Stellar S.

55So much fun! There’s no outdoor place more appropriate for my Aussie on a hot day than a spot with a pool. So glad this space was available - easy to find, plenty of space, toys, and fun for pups and for humans!Melanie Y.

55Oliver had the best time here. He was very curious about the chickens and I appreciated that they were there so he could be exposed to them and the sights and sounds and smells that go along with them! He is a nervous rescue, so knowing this Sniffspot is practically in our backyard is life changing for him and for us! He was able to run and do zoomies, play fetch, and had lots to sniff and explore. We’ll be back often! Tony M.

55Our dog had so much fun here! We were worried he'd freak out about the chickens, but after doing a quick sniff he was ready to run around elsewhere. Will definitely go again.Tara O.

55Great spot- and close to our home. Clean, lots of points of interest for our dog. She had three beautiful chickens- Walter was very interested til he poked his little nose through their fence- they weren’t afraid and gave him a swift peck on the nose, thus curing him of future chicken hassling 😂. Thanks for the use of your yard:)Elaine R.

55We had a great time at this sniff spot! Really nice big fully fenced yard, with a pen of chickens too! The chickens were very quiet and chill, 2 of my dogs loved meeting them through the chicken wire 😊 My 3rd was very suspicious of the chickens 😂 Anyways, we will definitely visit again, especially during the summer!Megan M.

55We had an amazing experience at this Sniffspot! Sara, the owner, went above and beyond to make our visit special. She thoughtfully set up an agility course tailored to my dog’s training, which was such a wonderful and unexpected touch. The space is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for dogs to explore and play safely. You can tell Sara truly cares about creating a positive and enriching experience for both dogs and their owners. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great off-leash adventure!Madilyn L.

55🐾 Wrecking Havoc at Our Favorite Spot! 🐾
There’s nothing my crazy crew loves more than running wild at Paws Abilities Sniff Spot! 🌿🐕 It’s their ultimate playground where they can sniff, zoom, and unleash their inner chaos.
Watching them go all out—chasing, wrestling, and just being their goofy, happy selves—fills my heart. ❤️ There’s something magical about a safe space where dogs can just be dogs.
Thank you, @pawsabilitiesmn for creating a haven for our furry wrecking balls! 💥🐾 We’ll definitely be back for more sniffing and shenanigans soon.Madilyn L.

55Paws Ability is an absolute blessing! The big things for me were, in addition to indoor space for my dog to play, (1) safety and (2) space. PA has both — their floors are rubber matted so my dog can run around inside as if he were running in a grassy summer field. Other places have epoxy floors that are still very slippery and I don’t feel good about it. Secondly, their space is plenty big enough for my 25lb dog to be able to run around and get his energy out. We were able to take many breaks from some enriching training work to just chase a frisbee and tug on a rope toy. I really appreciate their facility and I can’t wait to go back!Ryan R.

FAQ About Inver Grove Heights 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.
