A large, open 1.25 acre fenced in yard with multiple small hills that is bordered on the west side by a public walking trail (with 6 foot fence) and on the north side by Rice Creek (with 5 foot fence). Note that the creek is not directly accessible from the Sniffspot. During the winter months, deer and foxes pass just outside of the fenced in yard, while in warmer months the creek entices additional wildlife as well as the occasional canoeist or kayak. Agility equipment pictured are available during the warmer months and are not available in the winter. There's abundant street parking as we are located at a dead-end. Please do not park in the driveway. Enter the yard using the gate located to the left of the garage. Please also see us on Facebook at https://fb.com/rcsspot and Instagram @rcsspot

My wife and I have a nice semi-forested fully fenced backyard in Minnetonka. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly. Our 3 yr old Labradoodle Pepper spends countless hours playing, sniffing, and napping in it. Thanks for looking! PS - We have chickens secured inside their coop in the fenced in area. Your dog may be very distracted with them, FYI!

Pink Pitbull Club (fearful, reactive, & fence jumper friendly!)

Fully Fenced

1 acre

Welcome to our safe haven! I am the proud mama of and caregiver for reactive, fearful, and special needs dogs. We built this yard specifically for fence jumpers and dogs that need and deserve a quiet and private space to play. Our yard is spacious, wooded, and green with full 8ft privacy fencing including inwardly-angled fence extenders. Doggie extras: get ready for wooded trails, “barkour” obstacles, the perfect grassy bowl for fetch, agility jumps and tunnels, a tennis ball bit, splash pool in the summer, and so much more. For the humans - we hope you’ll enjoy our Adirondack chairs and when it’s warm, our hammock chairs and swing set. Our backyard is fertilizer and pesticide free, and we use pet-safe biodegradable salt in the winter on the driveway.

GRAND OPENING Saturday April 13th 2024 $5.00 per hr (1/2 hr minimum charge) First Visit, Multiple dogs, 2nd dog & beyond 50% off per dog. Curbside or off street parking A nice shady big corner lot that wraps around the back of the white utility shed next to the house. Entry gate off the top of the driveway. It A completely wood and cyclone fenced area. Want to play in a safe area with your dog(s) at night? Flood lights will make the play area nice & bright. Off leash, privacy, play time for you, you/family, and of course, your beloved dog(s) Squirrels and rabbits pass through the dog park. My beloved miniature little brown poodle, Morty Mocha Wonka, once captured a fast rabbit in the side yard park that was bigger than himself, thus, Elvis Presley became his friend, and Morty was no longer a “Hound Dog” For warm or hot sunny days, the Red Maple Tree in the play area will provide you with instant shade, and it is the perfect spot for provided chair(s) where you can throw optional provided numerous rubber ball toys to your dog(s) to play fetch & retrieve. Perhaps your dog(s) would like to take a run thru the 12 ft nylon agility tube, the adjustable garden hose nozzle will provide you the option to relieve yourself(s) and dog(s) with a cold refreshing mist, including sanitized stainless steel water dish(es) at your disposal, For clean up, towels, hand sanitizer & plastic small poop bags are at your disposal with a trash can to get rid of anything undesirable. It would make me very happy to know your dog(s) are enjoying the converted side yard private dog park, as my beloved dogs did, especially my white standard poodle Buddy, who the dog park is named after. He loved to crouch down (because one time the ball hit him) by the pine trees and the very tall 20-30 ft high arborvitaes that line the west wood perimeter fence, as he waited for me to throw a rubber ball to him, that he would eagerly fetch and return to me. A canine, human experience, that will make you and your dog(s) want to return for more. Questions?

Fenced in Yard In Richfield

Fully Fenced

0.01 acres

A nice big backyard, in a moderately quiet corner of Richfield. Plenty of room for some zoomies or fetch! ❗️recently added some DIY agility equipment We’re near to the airport, two preschools, apartments, and Target. The privacy fence blocks most of the visuals, but it can get a bit noisy with kids playing and planes overhead. There’s a couple neighborhood dogs, a few bark from inside their homes. We have a resident cat who will occasionally snooze in the window sill. ⚠️ the neighbor dog has recently become an escape artist and will wander over from across the street to sniff the green space next to our yard. If your pup is dog reactive, this might not be the spot for you.

Friendly neighborhood backyard

Fully Fenced

0.3 acres

Fully fenced: 1 side privacy fence, 2 sides chain link, and one side with the house and gate. Place bagged poop in the small garbage bin. Please do not allow pups to dig or to enter the small separately fenced garden. Spring 2024 the yard is very tender with grass trying to recover from last year's drought, if you remember, it helps to throw "fetch" in lots of different directions to spread out the "wear and tear." Added FYI: Same day bookings will probably have the bedtime and morning 💩 from my pups since I routinely only pick up after work during warm months. If you book 24+ hours in advance I can squeeze in an extra poo pickup before work. *WINTER I pick up weekly, weather-permitting, so might not be a great spot for pups who eat poopsicles--you know who you are!

Jennifer G.

June 2023

This is a fantastic space and was our first experience with Sniff Spot. The directions were clear and the house is signed well. The space is quite large, has tons of activities and even had water and water bowls available. Everything is organized well, and it exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

Diana C.

June 2023

Great place! The road noise is actually a plus for one of our dogs, and the privacy fabric on the public path fence is perfect. Lots of space to run with toys and agility equipment to keep the dogs occupied. We appreciated the bowls and fresh water. We’ll be back!

Susan C.

June 2023

There are lots of nice sniff spots but this one is a league of its own. Absolutely perfect and our huskies love to play but also stretch out and sunbathe.

Jane R.

June 2023

This spot was perfect and even better than expected! It was well kept and tidy. Our dog loved the agility equipment. It was also shady and a little breezy, which made it so enjoyable! It is right next to a charming creek. We will definitely be back!

Easily one of the top 2 sniff spots in the twin cities! Tons of room for galloping plus awesome agility equipment! 6ft fence all around with a privacy screen. We love this spot!

Brianna T.

Tony's yard was wonderful! It was very well maintained and safe for my dogs. It was the first time they had ever seen or interacted with agility equipment. I felt that all the equipment was safe for my dogs to use.

Rebekah F.

May 2023

This place is amazing! Very secure, quiet, and HUGE fenced yard in great condition. We didn’t encounter any other animals or people on the adjacent trail or in other backyards, which was awesome for my reactive girl. I will warn anyone looking to book here though— bugs are BAD already (it is right next to a creek and with plenty of trees), so bring bug spray and be prepared.

Laura and Ric M.

Perfect spot! Easy access and parking. Tilly loves agility so the chance to practice outside and also then have lots of fun sniff-ari time was most welcome. She was so happy which made me happy! Thank you so much to the host!

Wonderful Sniffspot! Clean, easy to access, tons of room for the dogs to roam and lots of good balls and toys to use.

This place was massive! So much room to run and sniff! The agility equipment was so fun to try out. Had a covered picnic table for the humans. Great place!!!

Angie T.

June 2023

Nice large yard in a beautiful setting on the creek. Tons of toys and agility equipment, but my dog was more interested in just sniffing around :) A much less stressful way to get her some exercise and not have to deal with strange dogs at the dog park! Thank you!

Gabby T.

June 2023

Great as always! Love the privacy screens blocking the walking trail from view. Loved the agility equipment out for the summer and my dog was brave enough to try them out! Gus gave it a 10/10 for sniffability!

Julie B.

June 2023

Fergie and I had a wonderful time tonight. I'm so glad there was a larger kiddie pool because she's all about the water! I don't know if you can or not but would love to be able to get in the creek that's over the fence. We brought our own Chuckit toy but there were already three of them there plus other balls and Frisbees. Fergie wanted nothing to do with the agility course but will try again next time because we will definitely be back! This place is beautiful. We saw an albino squirrel and a deer when we first got there! We played fetch for an hour and now she's in the backseat snoozing away on the way home! Thank you for the great spot Tony!

Melissa K.

Lovely yard. It was great that they had some poop bags available since I forgot mine at the campground. A couple deer even showed up in the neighbors yard.

This is our first visit to a Sniff Spot, so we have nothing to compare it to, but we thought it was great! Nice large fenced in area with agility equipment, plenty of water and clean bowls. Huck had a great time checking out the area and chasing toys we brought with us. We definitely plan to go back. Thanks for sharing opening up your amazing play area for others to visit!

FAQ about our Buffalo dog agility parks

Are dog agility parks safe?

While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.

How can I find dog agility parks in Buffalo?

There are 10 dog agility parks in the Buffalo area. The most popular dog agility park is Rice Creek Sniffspot. You can browse all of our dog agility parks here.

How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?

Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.

What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?

We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.

Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility park at the same time as me?

Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.

How much do Sniffspot agility parks cost?

Dog agility parks in the Buffalo area range from $4.0 and $12.0. The least expensive dog agility park is Hannah' Haven's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Elk River. The most expensive dog agility park is Pink Pitbull Club (fearful, reactive, & fence jumper friendly!). Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
