55This is an AMAZING spot. Private enough for reactive dogs and with plenty of room for running. Aleida left out toys, treats, water, and even cleared a path and some chairs on this snowy day! There are even toys hanging from trees! There is a deck with some room for dogs to wiggle under, so if your pup likes to explore and hide, just watch for that. My dogs thoroughly enjoyed their time here! 🥰Laura H.

So many places to sit in the shade or the sun. its so quiet calm and serene. We will be going back absolutely often. Lexi I.

55Absolutely LOVE this sniffspot! We’ve been to a handful and this is my favorite one by far! There were treats, paw wipes, toys, bubbles!, and many different spots to sit and hang out. The entry instructions provided were clear and I really like that you can park in the driveway (don’t have to find street parking). We will absolutely be coming here again! Hannah S.

55the best of the best that we have visited so far, my reactive dog had a blast! host was extremely communicative and had absolutely everything we could need- water for the dogs and humans, towels, bags, treats, and tons of toys. Lots of room for my dog to run and explore. Bamboo fencing was very secure and loved that we could kind of see through it (to see potential triggers) but provided privacy so no one could see us! Thank you Aleida! Alyssa R.

FAQ about our Prior Lake 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Prior Lake 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 175 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 18 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.
