45Very overgrown and buggy for me BUT the dogs loved it!
55Great spot, and beautiful yard!
55Lovely spot! Scott had set up a chair and toys for us. Unfortunately, ended up figuring out that my dog could jump the fence, but that was our own mistake.
55Yard was well maintained and my dogs enjoyed having toys to fetch. Thank you for opening your space to us!
55Cute little yard my dog thoroughly enjoyed playing fetch. He even set out a clean chair and toys since it had snowed earlier. My only complaint is I wish it were closer to my apartment!
55This was my first time going to a Sniffspot with my foster dog. He is very anxious and we are trying to give him exposure to new places and teach him that he is safe and build his confidence. A biker went by and he got very nervous and also some families were walking through the neighborhood. Several cars came through as it’s a fairly active street corner. He barked a few times at these people, but settled down and did a lot of sniffing and walking around with me. It was a great first experience and quite close to my house, so I would consider going back just to help build confidence in my pup.
55Great space.
55My pups had a great time!!! Such a fun backyard with lots of toys, agility equipment and space to run around
55Living in a condo where Winston isn’t allowed off leash, having an outside area for him to run around at is wonderful. He loves visiting and playing in the yard.
55Super easy process. I had some complications with the time slot I picked was able to change them so I could still make it. Super nice big basket of toys and a towel for puppy or myself since I have a big drooling dog. Also a hose for drinking water and I think I also saw a bowl. I will definitely be back! Wasn't far either! The yard was mostly clean I did see some dog poop out there but it was older.

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

“No other dogs will have access to the side yard private park area. A fence also blocks off the private backyard which is not assessable to humans and their dogs. Making money off of this endeavor is something that I don’t care anything about. A host is not going to make any significant money per month allowing a private dog play area. My motivation is providing this memorial private dog play area as my way of giving back to the community.”

Description

Buddy’s private dog park was named after our standard poodle Buddy, who absolutely loved playing in that area. The dog park itself was created to give those that don’t have a yard of their own, the option to play with their dogs(s) safely off leash, or for those that do have their own yard, but just want a change of scenery for private off leash play with their dog(s) A nice shady big corner lot that wraps around the back of the white utility shed next to the house. Entry gate off the top of the driveway, to the left. It A completely wood and cyclone fenced area. Want to play in a safe area with your dog(s) at night? Flood lights will make the play area nice & bright. Off leash, privacy, play time for you, you/family, and of course, your beloved dog(s) For warm or hot sunny days, the Red Maple tree in the play area will provide you with instant shade, and it is the perfect spot for provided chair(s) where you can throw optional provided numerous rubber ball toys to your dog(s) to retrieve. A canine, human experience, that will make you and your dog(s) want to return for more. Water hose & stainless steel drink dish available upon request. $2 discount per dog for first time visitors All billing & discounted rates are handled through Sniffspot.com Sincerely, Scott C Westin

I have had many of my own beloved dogs who loved to play in my fenced side yard for years, it would be a pleasure to help an owner & their dog(s) to be able to play in a safe yard, if they don’t have one of their own or just want a change of scenery & access to agility equipment that they may not have.

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.

**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.

Perfect for reactive dogs! Located just off highway 100 and minutes from Minneapolis. This SniffSpot features a corner lot with only one direct neighbor and a full privacy fence! The 0.2 acre privacy-fenced yard is the ultimate spot for zoomies, fetch, and water fun.

The star of the yard is a large, clean kiddie pool and ample shade to keep your pups cool on warm day. The only direct neighbor does not have dogs, making this a peaceful retreat for both playful and sensitive pups. Plenty of room for Sniffaris, zoomies, and recall training in a new and enriching environment for your dog! Easy commute from Minneapolis without the stress of a dog park. We offer water fun, toys, a shaded dog bed, water, and treats for your pups plus shaded comfortable seating for you and your friends to keep an eye while your dogs play their hearts out.
