55We had 4 humans and 4 dogs out to this sniff spot for Mother's Day and absolutely loved it!! The yard is huge and beautiful! One of our dogs is a leaper/runner and we were not at all worried about her safety. Our foster dog chose to lay in my dad's lap for the majority of our stay, but we were able to get to see him run free and express pure joy for the first few minutes we were there in a way we've never seen him do before! Highly recommend!!Molly N.

55This is a primo spot! Great yard with many amenities provided- toys, water access, waste bags. Exceptional communication both through app and on-site signage. My dogs are easily distracted but the privacy fence here allowed them to just focus on running and playing. Lisa L.

55Successful visit! My dog-reactive dog was able to reunite with one of her only friends, thanks to this safe space. She has been known to clear a 5’ fence, or find hills/trees/objects to assist her over. It was such a relief to know that this yard was flat and the vinyl 6’ fence seemed to be tall enough, though she wasn’t triggered by any neighboring dogs to feel the need to attempt. We also appreciated the smaller gate to keep the pups away from the main gate and deck. Kris sent a great deal of information beforehand, so we felt prepared. Worth the drive and we will be back soon! Thank you so much!! ☺️🦊 Nicole L.

55This was our first Sniffspot visit, and it was truly special - quiet, peaceful, clean, huge space w/ tall white private fence. Our dog is sadly being put to sleep today and it really allowed me some wonderful alone time together that I will never forget.Katie H.

55Awesome spot for our dog to run around and relax! Our dog is super sensitive to dogs, so he was able to hear and sniff the other dogs nearby, but not an overall problem!Ella & Ben S.

55Our first time back since the new sod and yard updates! Everything looks GREAT and I love the addition of the tall gate around the grassy area! It is tall enough that it deterred our nosey boy from trying to get to the steps and deck to explore (which is his favorite challenge!). One of our favorite yards. Fence is foolproof and it is such a relief to visit knowing it’s secure. Kayla & Marlin S.

55I forgot how much I love this spot! Nice shady spaces. There's a bit of dirt towards the patio section, so if you have a dog who loves to dig, you may have to watch them more closely haha. Super easy to find and great instructions from the hosts. Laura M.

55Kris and Mark's backyard was great! They reached out ahead of time to let us know about a muddy patch in the yard and had water bowls, toys, and towels that we could use. Our dog had a great time!Heather B.

55Pups had a blast! Being that the snow just melted, there was a bit of mud. So just prepare for that with towels in the car because we sure didn’t 😂 We will definitely return here in the near future! Great backyard ❤️Bridget C.

FAQ About Maple Grove 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.

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.
