55My girls had soo much fun running through the leaves
55A lovely, beautiful spot! My dogs loved running around.
55Great sized yard that is clean and well-maintained. The pond runs along the whole back of the yard (beyond a fence) which adds to the feeling of privacy. Plenty of shade, plus areas of sun, made this a very comfortable yard to hang out it. Easy to find and access. Highly recommend!
55Very peaceful and private — beautiful yard with lots of great shady spots and space to run. My pup absolutely loved it and rolled around in the sun!
55Puppies loved it. Plenty for them to sniff and explore. Room to run. And there was a gallon of fresh water left out for us. Very nice!
55Really beautiful space with amazing views and a variety of foliage. 10/10
55We visited in the morning and our dog enjoyed running around the yard and sniffing everything.
55We love this spot! There's plenty of room for my dogs to run, play, and explore. Beautiful trees give the yard ample shade and it's so peaceful on the pond.
45Beautiful, clean space! Bring your own toys. A great spot at a great price!
55As advertised. There is a dog next door, along the fence line. The dogs owner was very nice.

Rice Creek Sniffspot

Fully Fenced
1.3 acres

NOTE: we will be cleaning and storing away the agility equipment for the winter season starting in September. The agility equipment displayed are only available during the summer months. A large, open 1.25 acre fenced in yard with multiple small hills that is bordered on the west side by a public walking trail (with 6 foot fence) and on the north side by Rice Creek (with 5 foot fence). Note that the creek is not directly accessible from the Sniffspot. During the winter months, deer and foxes pass just outside of the fenced in yard, while in warmer months the creek entices additional wildlife as well as the occasional canoeist or kayak. Agility equipment pictured are available during the warmer months and are not available in the winter. There's abundant street parking as we are located at a dead-end. Please do not park in the driveway. Enter the yard using the gate located to the left of the garage.

Three plus private fully fenced in acres of running and romping in the woods. (9-26-26, duck hunting has begun, early am you may hear shotguns in the distance, for the noise reactive pups)

Fully Fenced
3 acres

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! ***2-16-26 the field is in poor conditions due to the frozen ground and warm temperatures. Please watch your footing. Early morning guest the low areas will refreeze and be crazy slippery, later guests need waterproof boots. 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. Fill any holes you pup digs and return toy to bin. Also, in the winter months, please be aware that their is no lighting in the field. The designated Sniffspot parking area has ample lighting but none in the field. ***please note that Duck hunting has begun. If you arrive early in the am here, there is a possibility of hearing shotguns. You are perfectly safe as they are hunting along the Mississippi corridor but just a heads up for dogs that are sound reactive.***

Fully Fenced

**Formerly Pink Pitbull Club** We used to bring our dogs here to Pink Pitbull Club, and when the opportunity to buy came along we jumped on it. We have one reactive girl who has just loved having a huge yard to play and not worry about other people and dogs, I'm sure your pups will love it as well! The front gate is remotely controlled to let guests in, and a button on the inside of the gate for whenever you need to leave. There is a doorbell camera set up for when you arrive, just ring the bell, I'll say hello and let you in :). There's an additional doorbell camera right on the inside of the gate in case you need anything during your visit. I'm happy to chat on the app for any folks that are Deaf/HOH to get in or need help. The yard is 5ft fence with a privacy screen. There are trees and shrubs for your pups to sniff and explore, as well as a wide open lawn perfect for fetch. There are parkour options and a ball pit in the back of the yard and a toy box up near the gate. For summer, we've got some water options to keep your pups cool - a kiddie pool and splash pad, as well as the hose with a mister attachment! Towels provided to dry off before you leave.
