55My pup, Oreo, and his bestie (Koda) had the best time playing chase, wrestle, and tug here. They also loved sniffing everything...including the chickens. They had no idea what those things were, but they were super intriguing. We brought some of our own toys, but loved that there were others available. We will definitely be back. Thanks for sharing your spot!Sue M.

55Beautiful yard with plenty of room for your pup to run around and lots to sniff :) my dog is reactive and was not a fan of the chickens so it made it difficult for him to relax BUT that is just my dog’s experience! If your dog has any reactivity and doesn’t do well with other critters being nearby, you may want to bring a long lead so they can still run but then you can keep them from going near the coop :) I may have to try that next time! Regardless, a great spot! Thanks, Matt! Avery H.

55This place is great! It’s nestled in a quiet neighborhood, solid fence, plenty of balls and a big bowl of water. There’s a beautiful ridge of trees and a large more standard grass lawn. Tons of smells and space to get the zoomies out with a few places to sit or set your things. Will return! anna p.

55Lots of room to run and explore. There were some outside construction materials in the yard, but it was well out of the way and we appreciated the heads up from the home owner before we arrived. The chicken coop was something my dogs hadn’t encountered before so to was entertaining to see their reaction. We will definitely be back.Kellie L.

55Very accessible and a nice big backyard with a good fence. Some poop not picked up in the treed area but the main part of the open space was totally clean. I’d definitely use it again. Jeff H.

55My first sniff spot and this was fabulous! Great size yard, the chickens were fun for the dogs to see and interact with. Yard was a bit muddy (weather, no problem from Matt) I did get worried about them running and tearing up the yard but they had a blast. Couldn’t recommend more!Clare G.

55This yard was fantastic!!! It's really a great size, has fun toys and a dog box, plus some areas to run around and sniff. Since I have chickens at home, my dog wasn't too distracted by the adorable coop and chickies. Will definitely be back. Brittany N.

FAQ about our Minnetonka 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.
