55This was our first experience at a SniffSpot and we had a great time!! Being able to see my dog run free and fast was such a delight and made me so happy that people are willing to share their fenced in back yards with us who do not have the same!
We will be back and enjoy your backyard again! Thank you!Alissa W.

Megan's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Shoreview | Sniffspot
55My dogs had an absolutely blast at this sniffspot! Lots of different types of terrain to play and sniff, obstacles to run and chase each other around (shed, play set, trees,) a hill to run up and down, and toys to play with. There were critter holes around the fence line and near the house that they enjoyed sniffing. Lots of room to rip around and the yard was clean.
About halfway through our visit, the neighbor’s dogs came outside and approached the fence line. Unfortunately, one of my dogs is very fear reactive, charged and barked in the poor thing’s face and scared them. The neighbor didn’t say anything or call their dog, the dog just backed away from the fence on its own and stayed 15ft+ away for the rest of the visit. My fear reactive dog is okay with dogs being in visual distance, but goes ballistic if they can touch his face due to a history of being bitten, so I feel bad he barked at her dogs like that. I didn’t know there would be dogs that close. It ended up being really good for trigger exposure once the dogs stayed away from the fence line.
I would take this into account if you have aggressive or reactive dogs that cannot tolerate seeing another dog(s) that closely.
Overall it was a lovely visit and we would love to come back! Juliana T.

FAQ About Shoreview 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.
