55Thank you for making your yard available! So many fun things for my dog to do in your yard. Agility jumps and weaves! Toys galore! Room for fetch. Wooded area for sniffing extravaganza! We even got to practice paying attention to Mom instead of chickens (seriously -- so useful for us to work on this so I was grateful for the opportunity). Stephanie J.

55We love this place! My 2 bully mutts and I have come once in the winter, and now in the spring and it has been a total hit with them both times. My young one enjoys sprinting through the trails, while my older gal takes her time doing her favorite thing - sniffing every square inch of the yard. The kiddie pool was also enioyed today as it was a nice sunny day! Melissa provides lots of fun toys and ammentities for both humans, and dogs and we will continue making the 40+ minute drive occasionally to romp around and have fun!Mckenzie H.

55There's no place like Sniffington Acres. I think those were dog's words when she hopped in the car. Those woods in the back are amazing enrichment for dogs who like to sniff and explore. That tether pole was one of my girl's favorite things there! I don't have. I'm not able to make a sturdy one at home because I don't have a tree so she was absolutely obsessed when she saw this. Then she saw the flirt pole and got so excited. She knew exactly what that was for because we play that at home in my much smaller yard. She's trained on an e-collar so she had lots of practice on avoiding chickens when we're were at Kate's spot in Invergrove Heights. My good girl looked at the chickens here and ran off to sniff completely avoiding the area. So proud of her! Our gracious host left out a clean towel, treats, sanitizer, bug spray; everything needed to make it this spot the perfect experience. She was so happy here. Hope we'll be able to get another reservation here soon. I can see why it's so popular. Tracy T.

55We are sadly having our last good byes with Bear today. We needed a place where he could run free and explore that was new to him because that's one of his favorite things. Melissa's place offered a safe place for him to that with our other dog Lilly. He enjoyed sniffing the trees and the treats that were provided. We diffently will come back with Lilly. Lilly sure enjoyed the pool. Which surprised us because she never plays with the pool at home.Celine W.

55This is a beautiful backyard in a nice, quiet area. However, if your dog does not have strong recall, or is small enough to fit through the gaps of the fence, I would look elsewhere. This backyard was perfect for our older dog and he loved it! But for our foster puppy… she was able to escape through the large gap underneath the gate entrance. I knew what type of fence it was prior to booking, so my fault for not booking a yard with a more secure fence. Unfortunately we had to keep her leashed for the remaining time which was certainly a bummer. Besides this, the dogs enjoyed their time :) Bridget C.

FAQ about our Ramsey 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.
