55This was such a great experience. We loved the Halloween decorations and beautiful fall scenery. If you have a reactive dog, this is the perfect spot to go. One of our pups is reactive, and it was so nice to have a stress-free walk for once. We will definitely be back again! Chrissy Y.

55We had a wonderful time! The property is very large, with lots of trails and fun changes in elevation due to a ravine/gully. There were several picnic tables to take a rest at and poop bags, which was very handy. The Halloween decorations were a fun touch for the humans as well! :)Sara T.

55On a really emotionally difficult day this sanctuary was so perfect. The trails are winding and maintained, the stream and pond are fun features. Ralph and Spice had so much fun and got so many good sniffs in, tree climbing in, playing and running. It was like a personal Minnehaha Park away from home. Mariah N.

55OMG! Much better experience than last time! We absolutely love the new parking spot ( it feel like I'm not bothering them and privacy) ! No distractions, a.k.a no off lead dogs, no humans. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful property, we really enjoyed this place, and we felt relaxed, but most importantly, our dog felt like he was in paradise! Sasha S.

55This was our first time coming to this Sniff Spot and our two pups loved it! As long as your dog has decent recall, this place is fabulous. Walking trails, woods, high grass, an open area for playing fetch -- it has it all!Erin N.

55A wonderful, expansive space with lots of nature and interesting terrain for the pups to explore! My dog and her best friend had an amazing time running and sniffing around. There is a little creek in the middle of the property that the dogs absolutely loved to wade around in. We will be back for sure! Eunbee C.

55We spent a lovely afternoon at this sniff spot! It was so expansive and gorgeous! We did encounter a very large and in charge raccoon and some gunshots from the neighbors, neither of which were an issue for our very unbothered labrador. If your dog is confrontational with wildlife or startled by loud sounds, definitely note that this sniffspot is beautiful, heavily wooded and the home for lots of wild creatures. We had an absolute blast and will definitely be back to explore this stunning spot again! Molly Z.

FAQ about our Chaska 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.
