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.

55My dogs love visiting this yard, and it's super convenient if you live in the city. The yard is open and long so the dogs can really run. Plus there are lots of great smells. Another great visit!Cheryl G.

55This was a great spot! Large, flat open area so my dog could run and sniff and I could see her the whole time. It was easy to find and has off street parking. We will return!Kristine A.

55My dog and I loved playing in the big open yard. The fence is very secure and I was not concerned letting my reactive and very athletic dog off leash. The neighborhood was very quiet and the price is very reasonable. We will be back for sure. Thank you for sharing your yard!Dagmar K.

55This is the place to be!! Our girl Sadie is dog reactive and people wary. She is super athletic and loves to run. The space is adjacent to an open lot on one side, and set well away from the road. she DID manage to find one of the only muddy spots to cool off in :) We will definitely be back!Jenn W.

55Great experience. Our first time using the Sniffspot and it was easy to find, easy to get into the yard. Well kept and huge area to run. We brought our own toys and I should have brought water for him. He is one tired boy, thank you! Alicia A.

55Just as advertised. Huge open lot for running and playing. Fencing is great. The yard itself is beautiful with gardens for the two-leggeds! Very, very comforting safe space for my anxious little dog. Thank you for sharing your space.Cindy Z.

55This spot is like a park -- beautiful tall cottonwoods and maples, a very long fenced run. Our dog loved it, lots to discover -- we'll go back! Very clear what to do, where to leave waste bags, etc. Beth C.

55Big yard so dogs could really run! We checked out the bee house - it doesn’t seem to pose a hazard in the location where it is. It wasn’t too hot when we were there, but there’s a little kiddie pool that the dogs could cool off in if needed and plenty of fresh water. Didn’t see neighbors or neighbor dogs, it’s really private! We’re keeping it on our rotation! Jill L.

55My dogs had a great time exploring this giant sun-dappled yard. Diya investigated every inch of the perimeter, and the yard held her interest for the entire hour. Wiley, who is 12, found multiple nice spots to relax after he finished making his own rounds. A really pleasant space, with secure fencing all around. The location was easy to get to as well.Michelle O.

55Super fun spot! My dogs were in heaven. I had to redirect my reactive Border Collie mix away from the chickens a few times. He just wanted to bark at them but I didn't want him to scare them. 😅 I did have to brush some burs out of my two longer-haired dogs after visiting which is to be expected in a wooded setting like this. Totally worth it for the amount of fun they had. Christy R.

55Spot was wide and allowed plenty of space for dogs to roam and run. Just a small note that there are wild grass with fuzzies that gets caught in dog's fur.Raymond Y.

FAQ about our North 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.
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.
