55This place was a reactive dogs heaven and the host was so accommodating and kind. Water available, directions/descriptions were perfect, and as she explained cell reception didn’t work as a T-Mobile user. I’d give it six stars if I could. Trish S.

55We had an incredible time just being able to let our dog-reactive GSD roam and sniff off-leash. The instructions and amenities were so generous as well!Alayna H.

55This place is magical. It’s tucked away and secluded. You don’t have to worry about anyone else. You don’t have to worry about your dogs running away because it’s securely fenced with a sturdy fence too. Cell service doesn’t work unless you have ATT so make sure you screenshot the directions and other important stuff! Our dogs LOVED it. They’ve never experienced anything like it before and we can’t wait to go back. It’s easy to get up there too! Yvette R.

55Wow, what an amazing place! The agility equipment was sturdy and well laid out and so much fun!! It’s a wonderful property with so many thoughtful touches; lots of fresh water for your dogs, fun toys, poop bags, shelter (for you and your dogs), and elevated mats for lounging. It’s a puppy paradise. It’s clean and spacious and the wooded area is big and fun to explore with really great terrain. I will absolutely be coming back. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful space with all of us!!Jocey H.

55Highly recommend checking out this spot. My dog is reactive but loves being off-leash to explore, so having somewhere we could do that was amazing. We also tried out the agility equipment, which was lovely! It is a dog paradise. Kelsie G.

55We had the most lovely time at this sniffspot! It was our first ever sniffspot experience and it will be hard to beat! We tried out the agility equipment, took a little hike around the quiet, private, and totally fenced in forested area, and played with the toys that were in a bin. So well maintained and plenty of water available for our dog! It was clean, quiet secure, and beautiful. Morgan R.

55This place was great, we were visiting from out of state and wanted a place for our reactive dog to run around in the mountains. He loved all the smells and it was a peaceful place for us to relax as well!Betsey Y.

55Boogie and I had a wonderful time at this location. The pre-visit email was loaded with helpful details (where to park, where to put poop, etc.) All of the agility equipment was really high quality and in good order. No complaints here, just fun!Christine B.

55Always the MOST fun bringing our pup here. He had FHO surgery in May, and we have brought him several times to this Sniffspot and enjoy watching him grow stronger and start to run up the hillside with confidence! It’s great to give him the space to experiment and explore.Lisa G.

55This was our 2nd time visiting this Sniffspot! Our 3 pups absolutely LOVE this place! Melissa has thought of everything to make this a safe and exciting place for pups to explore! We can rest easy knowing the fencing is secure and no other dogs or humans are around (2 of our dogs are reactive). There’s a super neat agility area connected to a separate enclosed area with a beautiful wooded hillside. There’s fresh water available for the pups, a covered area to escape the sun for a bit, plenty of sitting options for humans, and spare toys. Our pups just love running around and exploring the two areas. We enjoy the peaceful wooded setting and having some space to hike around. Our pups were completely wiped out the whole hour long trip back home! 👍 Thanks again Melissa for sharing your lovely property with us!Amy E.

55Awesome spot! We have 3 dogs who absolutely loved running around. Melissa does provide dog toys so if your like us and forget there’s plenty! So luckily are dogs got to have so much fun playing fetch. I did have to change times twice in which Melissa was so understanding of that and even offered a solution. She’s an amazing host to say the least! The area was clean and quiet and away from any people or dogs. Only good things to say about this place and will definitely have to come again!Danielle T.

55Melissa's Sniffspot is incredible! We recently rescued two malamutes and need space with a secure fence to let them run, explore, and practice training. This location was everything we needed and more. Melissa has thought of everything in terms of security and amenities. It is absolutely worth the drive from Denver.Katie H.

FAQ about our Empire 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Empire area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 166 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 20 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.
