55Great yard! Great communication with homeowner. My girls got plenty of new smells and enjoyed exploring! They played in the pool a bit, but mostly were just nosey dogs checking everything out! Thanks!!!Sara J.

55My dogs had so much fun with the splash pad! Nice, clean yard and some toys to play with. We did see neighbors out in their garden but were there in the evening when it was less hot out, so I’m not surprised. Kelsey H.

55The yard is spacious and clean. My dog had all of his favorite things: toys, treats, pool, sprinkler and room to run! This will be on our list of favorites to revisit. Melissa O.

55Nice space! Very clean. I missed the info about the deck but it wasn’t an issue for us. A note to add is the yard is under the flight path. We’re having some noise fear issues and surprisingly this didn’t bother my boy! Loved playing fetch and great selection of toys.Sonja D.

55A big, open yard where Chef was able to get plenty of zoomies out. The area was pretty quiet while we were there, with only the occasional plane flying above. Beth L.

55Beautiful space, securely enclosed, and quiet during our visit — my dogs loved this place! They were excited enough about the new spot that they did not venture under the deck, though I took note based on other reviews.Julian E.

55This was a nice spot. Plenty of room to play with the frisbee and just for my dog to run around in general. We didn’t see any other dogs or humans.Lemon M.

55Really private and secluded! I was a little worried that my dogs would get fixated on the chickens but the chickens were really quiet and didn't move around much in their pen so the dogs got bored with them and moved on after a few seconds. Theres a picture uploaded that shows a map of the access, make sure you follow that and the hosts instructions! The actual address will take you to the front which is not accessible for you or your dogs, so make sure you enter off of Dickman Trail as instructed to get to the back. Ellie B.

55We had a great time today! Thanks for the cooling pool and chickens. My dog was into them at first, but they were so chill he lost interest right away. Lots of room for frisbee today.

55Baxter and Romeo loved this spot! It was our first sniff spot visit ever. The directions provided in some of the reviews and by the host were helpful to find the entrance. The yard has many unique spaces, like an open field, little trails, cloverfield, and lots to sniff. We found a fresh water dish over by the house by the water hose. My dogs do not enjoy the water so I didn’t bother with the pool, but it would be fun! Luckily they ignored or didn’t see the chickens for the first 30 minutes but once they discovered the chickens we had to leave early. Lol! I tried to put them back on the leash and walk them around the yard but they quickly returned to bark at the chickens. Sorry! But 30 minutes was more than enough play time for my guys. It was fun! To be
expected, they came home with a number of burs :)
We will definitely do sniff spot again, but I’ll just make sure to pick out a place with no other distractions. It was worth a shot. VERY COOL PROPERTY, Kate! Thank you!Katie L.

55Great spot, both dogs loved it. Nice mix of shade and sun. My anxious dog was a bit freaked out by the sound of a train passing by very close to the property, but was fine afterwards. Michelle O.

FAQ about our West Saint Paul 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.
