55Great location, beautiful, well kept and very welcoming space. The dogs had a blast rolling and frolicking in the snow and playing on the agility equipment. A little off the beaten path, but easy to get to. Emily R.

55We had a fantastic time! Our dog is too sound sensitive to do trial agility but this low stress spot was so fun for him and his doggy bestie. We'll be back for sure!Alysia S.

55Great spot! Totally fenced with areas for the agility area and then a wooded area. Water for the dogs, toys to play with, and several chairs for people to sit in! A bit of a haul from the Denver metro area, but it's a pretty drive.Kimberly O.

55This is an amazing spot especially if you have a fear based reactive dog with strangers. Totally private, super clean, truly fenced in enormous property in the forest, cooler full of toys and agility obstacles. So glad to have found this place!Melissa H.

55We had the most amazing experience spending time at Melissa’s property earlier today. It was well worth our 15 hour drive from Dallas, Texas.
Our Labrador Retriever rarely ever gets an opportunity to play in the snow so spending time here was like a dream come true for her.
The property itself is well maintained and provides everything you could imagine, including a variety of toys and an agility course.
We had a great time. We made great memories. And we can’t wait until our next trip! Dana S.

55This spot was amazing! Currently there’s a a good bit of snow in the back past the agility/training area and the dogs had a blast running through it. There’s so much space, it feels like you’re in a little forest that any dog will love. Trace E.

55This is hands down our new favorite sniff spot! It has plenty of room for the dogs to run and lots of interesting things to explore. Our dogs really enjoyed agility equipment as well. Melissa is so thoughtful in how she set up the space - there is water, toys, trash bin, poop bags and a bathroom! What a peaceful and enjoyable space. Kelly H.

55Our dogs LOVED it here. They were able to really run and get out all the wiggles! I loved that it was such a large space and completely fenced in. There was snow on the ground in the middle on November, but it was a beautiful day and our dogs love snow!
They also had a blast on the agility course-we will be back!
We also thought the communication and instructions from the host were excellent!Emily R.

55This place is amazing! Our dogs can’t go to dog parks because they are reactive and not good with strange dogs. We live in the city and there are barely any places for them to run around. This property was secluded enough for our dogs to feel comfortable and run around and explore and we had the peace of mind that it was fenced. Awesome and will come back! Asher A.

FAQ about our Empire 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Empire area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 167 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 21 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
