Lyban's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Minneapolis | Sniffspot
55This was the perfect spot for our kids and dogs!!! Host was super accommodating and responsive, yard was a great size, clean, water and dog toys, swingset, trampoline, and our kids found some super tiny baby frogs and that kept them busy for a long time. Very secure, our 3 pups went all around and couldn't find any gaps in the fence! We all had a great time and we'd love to go back!! Emily R.

Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Mpls! | Sniffspot
55Five stars!
This was a fantastic spot for a doggie outing! It was super easy to get to if you live in the city, and once we arrived, my 2 dogs were immediately in heaven—so many trees, bushes, and interesting smells to explore. There are several different paths that gave them plenty of room to run, chase and sniff.
The space was very clean and clearly cared for, with lots of toys available and even filtered water on hand. I really appreciated how thoughtfully the whole area was laid out—it made it easy for me to relax and enjoy the outdoors while my dogs played freely and safely. We’ll definitely be coming back!Anne S.

55We've done several SniffSpots now, but we officially have a new favorite!! Having a welcome sign with our pups names on it was such a sweet welcome, the yard was clean and the perfect size for our kids and dogs to run with us still able to keep an eye on them. A little kid/puppy pool was set up which our kids enjoyed splashing our pups in. The extra $2 flavored/ scented bubbles was super fun, our kids loved blowing them at the dogs who loved trying to eat them. We also had a laugh at all 3 of the dogs barking at the fake deer. And there was additional water bowls, bug spray, first aid kit, and some dog toys available. The table and chairs were clean, and we encountered almost no bugs!! We've already booked another time slot for tomorrow, and can't wait to enjoy this space again!Emily R.

55Beautiful space! When I arrived there was a sign welcoming us, it was a really sweet touch we enjoyed! They had toys, a basket of wipes, bug spray etc, and water available. There are two beautiful shady spots to hang out. They set up the kiddie pool for us and we got the extra flavored bubbles. Very reasonably priced extras! My reactive dogs did great, she even took her dog out while we were there. The neighbor dog wasn't an issue either as my dogs had plenty of novel incentives. My pups really needed to blow off steam adjusting from a house to apartment life. Thank you SO much! Highly recommend and will book again in the future! Tory L.

55My dog and I both had a wonderful time at this Sniffspot! The host was super nice and accommodating. She even left my pup some doggie treats. The yard had a lot of shady areas and spots to sit and relax. Super convenient location too for those of us who live in the city but don’t want to drive too far. My dog is pretty reactive to other dogs and people but we didn’t have any issues and he was able to enjoy himself and let loose! The fence really helped keep everything feeling super private. Would definitely love to visit again! Danielle A.

55Our dogs had a lot of fun running around the yard! The host had several bowls of water out, a big bucket of toys, and the grass was well kept. Our dogs and kids had fun running around, checking out the hammock, and playing fetch with the frisbee and tennis balls! The size of the yard was great for us, enough room for the dogs to run but small enough that we could still keep our eye on them. We'll definitely come back! Emily R.

55Rowena had a blast here! There was water left out and a bowl for her to drink from (thank you! She's a thirsty girl!). My friend and I loved the patio and it was wonderful to allow my pup to play in a safe, enclosed space. She was able to roll in the grass and be a doggie. Thank you so much for offering such a wonderful dog spot!Koko H.

FAQ About Minneapolis 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Minneapolis area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 247 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 438 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
