55I love this place! I’m very jealous of this backyard! If you have a dog who is nervous about various noises be mindful of University Ave traffic sounds. My dog doesn’t care for semi’s but he recovers quickly in this oasis in the city!Karen O.

55Tony has a wonderful property with plenty for an active curious dog to explore. It was really lovely to be able to let my pup off leash for the first time since we adopted her. Love Sniffspot!Patty B.

55Our dog Sofie loved this yard! Got lots of zoomies in, and she did a lot of sniffing so must have been some interesting smells. I think the humans were more interested in getting Sofie to try out the agility equipment 😂 but she did do a few of them.Jennifer B.

55Perfect spot! It's very relaxed and private with plenty of shade. If the great assortment of community toys isn't enough, the agility equipment will keep you and your furry friend happy. I'll definitely be coming back. Sharon S.

55We had a great time! It was my dogs first time with that type of equipment, so he wasn't sure about some of it. But by the end, we were all running around and having fun! The yard is long, so it was a great distance to play fetch, too! Leah H.

FAQ about our Big Lake 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 Big Lake?
There are 10 dog agility parks in the Big Lake 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.
