55This place is an absolute slice of heaven! It’s such a HUGE relief to find a place where I (and my pup) and can be completely at ease! From the parking spot, to the entrance, everything is set up in a way where I was confident we wouldn’t have any surprise run-ins with other dogs or people. The space is great, for dogs and humans with shade, water, and even tick spray for the dogs! My dog was worn out in less than an hour! We will definitely be back! Can’t say enough about how great it is to have found this place! Alissa B.

55I would love to give this sniff spot a terrible review, for the simple fact that i don't want to share this spot. This private puppy park was amazing, my dog is learning and she doesn't play well with others, so it was againg perfect. The host has toys, water, poop bags and plenty of trail for your pup to explore! Already booked our next visit. I am so happy to have found this place.Chane F.

55Amazing private dog park feel. Everything was provided, poop bags, toys and even towels in case of muddy paws. There was a good combo of woods and open field and even with all the recent snow melt, the area was surprisingly dry. So much room to run and a sturdy solid fence. We will be coming back soon!Kristyen K.

55What an absolutely perfect little private dog park I had to myself today. I wanted to see how my 6-mo pup would do off leash with recall, and we had a blast at Stacy's fully fenced property. It's just a beautiful blend of woodsy calm and open field. She had plowed paths to make the walking easier, a picnic table, a couple of blanket "beds," and she even brought out some toys and a treat for my dog! I even got a personalized welcome sign, too! Stacy is friendly, obviously dog savvy, and has wonderful energy. I'll definitely be heading back to "The Field" again—hopefully it's warmer so I can bring my camera because the sun through the pine trees was deliciously dreamy! Sarah B.

55We had SUCH a good time here today! It’s been over a year since my husky had a chance to run off leash and her joy was so worth it.
The area was nice and big, securely fenced and easy to find with the great instructions and nice little signs.
We’ll definitely be back! Jodi T.

FAQ about our Brainerd 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. 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 place for you and your dog. 100% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Brainerd 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 5 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 1 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
