Bell's Dog Run In Kawkawlin

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

With just over 5,500 sq feet of fenced in area your dog will have plenty of room to run! We have many dog toys, a kiddie pool, agility equipment, sand/dirt area (for those who like to dig) and more! We are constantly adding new things and updating the area. We have chairs for you to sit back in and watch your dog! Please do not leave your dog unattended, let your dog jump on the fence or dig along the fence (digging is only permitted in the sand area) and please clean up after your pet. We hope you enjoy our little pet area 😊 The kiddie pool is out weather permitting. We try to empty it daily but often we don't get to if we have dog's boarding and multiple bookings because it leaves a muddy mess...we have found the dogs don't care if the water is fresh or not and parents would rather have dirty water versus a muddy yard ;) We do keep fresh drinking water out around the yard. We often have a seasonal photo shoot area set up. When we do, please do not let your dog(s) mess with the display. We want all guest to be able to enjoy this spot. You may take all the photos you want we just ask you to watch your dog so they are not destroying it and to share the photos with our page :) We do run a small boarding business on our property. If we have dogs at the time of your visit you will not see them. If they hear you and your dog they may bark so you may hear them but they will never be out of the building while you are here. If this is a concern you may reach out to me via messenger to see if we have any clients during the time you want to book. We have many days/times when we do not have anyone here. If you pup has a birthday/gotcha day we would be happy to set up a few decorations and leave a special treat for them. Just let us know ahead of time (at least 48 hours if possible) so we can have time to get everything ready for their special day!

The Orchard 🍎

Fully Fenced
2 acres

We’re excited to share our private 2-acre organic apple orchard with you and your dog! It is completely enclosed with a 10-foot tall fence. It’s great for dogs who love to run as well as those who need a quiet place to explore. Because our farm sits a bit off the main road, it is usually a peaceful and relaxing environment. Enjoy beautiful sunsets, trees in bloom, and our sunflower patch! There is occasional mud especially right after a rain. There are bee boxes located outside of the back/northern fence line (your dog will not be able to access them). Due to the nature of our property and the outdoor environment, I cannot guarantee the absence of wildlife, wildlife scat, insects, mud, fallen fruit, weather-related conditions, or other natural elements. By booking a visit, guests acknowledge these conditions may be present. Please keep this in mind when scheduling your visit and thank you for understanding :)

Frequently asked questions about St. Louis small dog parks

What amenities do St. Louis small dog parks typically include?

St. Louis small dog parks feature amenities designed for appropriately-sized exercise: compact fenced areas, small-scale obstacles, and low-barrier entry gates, secure fencing options, water stations, waste disposal, and often extras like toys, shade structures, or parking. Unlike public parks with generic setups, St. Louis hosts customize their spaces. Browse 101 listings to compare—from bare essentials to luxury amenities perfect for your dog's needs.

How much does it cost to use St. Louis small dog parks?

Sniffspot runs on a membership model with monthly and annual plans that include credits toward St. Louis dog park bookings. Members get discounted rates at participating St. Louis spots, and new users can start with a 7-day free trial. There are no surprise booking fee. Your credits cover the reservation. Browse St. Louis small dog parks listings to see individual spot pricing, and check your membership dashboard to see how many credits you have available.

How clean are private small dog parks in St. Louis compared to public parks?

Significantly cleaner. Public dog parks in St. Louis see dozens of dogs daily with sporadic city maintenance. Private small dog parks have dedicated hosts who maintain their own spaces—cleanliness directly affects their reviews and bookings. Many St. Louis hosts provide fresh poop bags, sanitized water stations, and regular grounds cleaning. With only one booking at a time, waste accumulation is minimal.

Can I book St. Louis small dog parks on short notice?

Usually yes! Many St. Louis small dog parks offer same-day or next-day availability with instant booking. Unlike public parks that might be crowded unpredictably, St. Louis private small dog parks let you reserve exactly when needed: early morning before work, midday breaks, evening exercise. Real-time availability shows on each listing—perfect for last-minute training or when routines get disrupted.

What's the best time to visit small dog parks in St. Louis?

Any time works since bookings are private! Unlike public dog parks in St. Louis that are crowded during peak hours (mornings, evenings, weekends), you don't worry about timing. Book when it fits YOUR schedule—midday when it's quiet, dawn for cool weather, late evening for convenience. Many St. Louis small dog parks have lighting for after-dark visits. This flexibility is perfect for shift workers or dogs with special needs.

Do St. Louis small dog parks allow multiple dogs?

Yes! Most St. Louis small dog parks welcome multiple dogs from the same household. Some hosts set limits (check listings), but generally you can bring your whole pack. This is perfect for multi-dog households in St. Louis where some dogs are selective—they can play together privately without outside interference. Great for sibling bonding or families with mixed ages/temperaments.

Can I use St. Louis small dog parks for special events?

Many St. Louis small dog parks welcome doggy birthday parties, training workshops, breed meetups, or group playdates. Private bookings mean your event won't be interrupted. Coordinate with St. Louis hosts about capacity, amenities (parking, shade, water), and any restrictions. Some even provide party extras. Check individual St. Louis small dog park listings for event policies.

How do St. Louis small dog parks accommodate dogs with special needs?

St. Louis small dog parks are excellent for special needs dogs because you can filter for specific requirements: flat terrain for mobility issues, secure fencing for blind/deaf dogs, quiet locations for anxious dogs, small spaces for seniors, or maximum privacy for reactive dogs. Read reviews from other St. Louis special-needs dog owners, and contact hosts with questions. The private setting means you can adapt the experience to your dog's unique requirements.
