55The backyard was perfect! Not too much mud, lots of fun sticks, and a great area to let the pups run! Larger than I thought which was awesome! 100% Would Recommend! Parking was easy and there were signs that made it very easy to find where to park and how to get into the backyard! Melissa S.

55Thanks, Jenn, for sharing your very large yard with our pup. He loved sniffing and running around! Muddy at the entrance, but that was expected due to spring thaw. We tried to use a light touch so as not to destroy the grass.Kristin L.

55Great big yard, perfect for fetch! It was very clean and quiet. A lil muddy at this time of year (April) as to be expected, didn’t bother us. Definitely will be coming back! Camille F.

55Myself and Zoey really enjoyed both of our visits and will use this host often in the future. The fencing is very secure, clean and has a real backyard feel which is actually what my pup needs to experience to improve on her social skills and build confidence. There are birds, squirrels and all kinds of extra curricular amenities that is not available to her at present. I would highly recommend this site and very grateful for this family for opening their private area so dogs can run freely!❤️🙏🎊Merryle S.

55Scout LOVED sniffing all the sniffs and exploring every nook and cranny of this yard. She’s not a run and play type doggo, so even though there were balls to play with, she had so much fun smelling the trees and bushes :)Whitney D.

55Our first time with Sniff Spot and it was wonderful! The instructions were clear, the signs were easy to find. The yard was huge! So many things to sniff! There were chairs, dog balls, water buckets and a hose. I can't wait to come back throughout the summer to watch the gardens! Our dogs are exhausted, and so happy. Thank you so much and we'll see you soon!Christina K.

55Great spot! Clear instructions for parking and entrance, and lots of room to run. Other yards/road were visible, but no other dogs/people during our visit, which was great for my reactive pup. He had a great time sniffing lots of different spots!Nicole V.

55Awesome place to bring your pup, Ganzo spent his time sniffing just about every square foot of the yard. It was pretty quiet in the backyard so it was a perfect place for my normally reactive dog. Zack L.

55Beautiful back yard, so much space, with pretty views. Can’t wait to come back with a friend and their dog. Yard was clean, not overgrown at all. So much smells for my little dog to sniff out. There were a couple of spots where he went to roll himself in the grass. But there was never anything in those spots that I could physically/visibly see (ei dead animal or something). So that’s just another reason for me to stop being lazy and give him a bath.
This sniff spot is 5 mins from my place, so the location is convenient. Will definitely be back whenever I can. Thank you so much for sharing your space with the dog community!Gilly W.

55I think this is a great spot near the cities for your dog to play. It's a sizable area with no big distractions and plenty of room to run. The area does have some gardens so I did have to watch my dog around those areas to make sure she didn't get into them.Julie H.

55This was a great spot for my people and dog reactive dog. Safe and secure and we didn’t hear or see a single other animal or person while there. There is a small gap under the fence gate that an extremely small dog may be able to slip through (like a chihuahua size). The yard was well maintained and parking was clearly marked. It’s so nice to have a spacious and private spot like this so close to the cities! Carleigh R.

FAQ about our Mahtomedi 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.
