Hello and thank you for choosing our Sniffspot!! Please send proof of vaccinations to bobbijohare@yahoo.com before your visit. Just a reminder that no children are allowed on equipment at anytime to include swing-set, trampoline, hot tub, pool, agility items, etc. We hope you enjoy our yard as much as we do!! If there’s anything else we can do to accommodate please don’t hesitate to ask. We do have chickens and ducks. They are located in a closed pen inside the Sniffspot. Your dogs will not be able to physically get to them. We know they may be curious at first which is normal but please do not allow them to torment the flock. Our visitors use this as a great socialization/exposure opportunity with their dogs and we have never had any issues 🖤 Josh and BobbiJo 😎

You'll enjoy the open clover meadows and huge oak trees for shaded areas. There is a secluded spot that's mowed and level with a picnic table,a fire pit and park benches, so you can have a nice private picnic down in the timbered meadow when you can book enough time to really enjoy the experience. There is a nice clean pond for your dogs to wade or swim in. With more shade around the pond. Your dogs will enjoy the dog and hiking trails around the pond and throughout the fenced meadows.

We had a great time! My dog had fun running around the yard and doing the A-frame. The yard was well kept and the fencing sturdy. Great service that’s (the welcome sign was a lovely touch). We will be back the next nice day!

This is such an amazing space and the owners are fantastic. HUGE grassy yard with shady spots and lots of toys and equipment to play with. My dogs had a blast running around exploring. The privacy screening goes around the entire space other than the gated parts. It is very secure. Normally no owner will interact with you, but they stopped by to cover the window well because the cover was damaged in the storm. It took like 2 minutes. They were nice enough to also block the space under the deck because my silly dogs kept trying to crawl under it. They were very accommodating and offered an extra 1/2 hr for the trouble. So nice.

A friend and I brought our 3 dogs to Bobbijo's and HIGHLY recommend it! This was our first time using Sniffspot, and we were so impressed. We felt so welcome! We arrived to a bunch of goodies: waters and snacks (for dogs AND humans), hand sanitizer, and poop bags. Communication was great and they were quick to answer questions. The yard was clean, well-kept, private, and large enough for our 3 big dogs to full out run. They had multiple full water bowls out and a ton of dog toys. We forgot treats, but because they provided some, we were able to use them to lure our dogs onto the obstacles and that was fun! They were having so much fun, we asked if we could book another hour and they accomodated us with no problem. We'll definitely be going back! The happy dogs say it all.

The dogs had a blast in the pool today! Once again, everything was perfect and they tired themselves out. They must love this place, because they definitely got excited when we pulled up to the house. :)

My dogs took off running the minute we got in the gate. There are plenty of toys, and there is a spot in the corner for digging holes, even. Plenty of water, and there was a welcome sign at the gate with some treats for the pups and a bottle of water for me. Many chairs for the humans, I even got my dog to do some agility ramps. If you have a dog that likes to full-on run, this is a great spot. My dogs are zonked out after spending an hour at this Sniffspot. Highly recommend!

Our girls had so much fun at this Sniffspot! It’s huge so they got plenty of good running in, the privacy screen was very helpful for my rather reactive pup, and they had fun with the toys and equipment. The personalized welcome sign was a very nice touch, too.

Yay! We are so happy the dog park is open again for the season! My dogs are big fans. Always clean, lots of toys, lots of running room. Great place.

Perfect space for dogs of any size to get out and run around! My Boston Terrier loved sprinting around the yard, going through the agility obstacles, and sniffing around. It was nice that the fence had a cover so he couldn’t see out into the other yards. He also especially loved all of the treats that were provided! An excellent spot, we will back!

Zoe had a great time. There are ducks inside the gate (securely penned) she was a little wary of at first. But came home with a tired and happy puppy so a successful visit. Thanks for sharing your yard with us!

Beautiful space with shaded and unshaded areas, including table and chairs. Our dogs got a little distracted by the chicken and duck enclosure but it wasn't a deal breaker. Fun time!

Very nice quiet area for your reactive doggies to run around in. They even had a little pool I think was for the doggies and my tiny dog was very interested in the chickens

FAQ about our Des Moines 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 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.
