55We had a great time! My pup loved all of the toys and the kiddie pool - a slice of doggy heaven! A few dogs did walk by across the street, but they were far away and didn’t cause too much reaction from my reactive pup!Emily B.

55There is so much thoughtfulness here: the designated spot to disposing of doggie waste; the provided toys; the kiddie pool (we discovered our dog loves that!); the chairs...and, if requested, a fire! This is a dog-supporting, dog-loving home!Beth C.

55We LOVED our visit to Ava’s yard! Maggie got to sniff around, play with the coolest bear toy ever (her words probably), play in the kiddie pool, and practice our recall. Thank you for opening your amazing yard!!! Caitlyn S.

FAQ about our Vadnais Heights 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.

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 Vadnais Heights 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 180 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.
