55I've been wanting to try out this spot for over a year and finally made it there with my two dogs. It was a beautiful day, and the grounds were exactly as described. Three fenced acres in the pines, with some clearings and rock outcroppings, all to yourself with your dogs, and a fenced in, level agility area with all of the equipment you could want to set up and run a course. It was a beautiful drive and the dogs are sleeping soundly now. Melissa also has dog training knowledge, and offered to donate some time at her spot to some local shelter dogs at the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley (where I am the trainer). I couldn't be more pleased, and my dogs concur! Lisa K.

55What a wonderdul spot! My dogs had such a wonderful time here. Melissa was very nice--her instructions for getting there are very accurate and she kindly pointed me to the right gate (next to the house). The property has moderately sloping terrain with a few rock outcroppings in large fenced area, and a separate, flatter area with (nice!) agility equipment. The fencing is in good repair, and the host provides water plus a spot to deposit poop bags. There are also a couple of cot beds available in the large yard--very handy! This is the perfect place for my dogs to blow off some steam and safely practice their off-leash skills. My dogs all weigh about 30 lbs, and the two who are particularly inclined to chase chipmunks did discover they could slip under the front porch steps, so it may be prudent to block that spot off if you have a smaller dog (I used one of the cot beds). I will be back!Monica G.

55What an amazing experience! My boys and I enjoyed every minute of it and look forward to going back again and again. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful. My two super athletic pit bulls had no issues with any of the gaps under the front gate or the stairs, but a small dog might be able to squeeze out. The area is really large and beautiful with a ton of trees and rocks to climb on. It was quiet and peaceful, definitely worth the two hour round trip drive. The boys were SO tired on the drive home. Excited to go back!!
I’ve seen a few reviews complaining about directions and getting to the location. This location in in the mountains for real. So if you’re not comfortable with twisty turny roads or having to do a little work to find the location off the road- maybe a more city type location would be better for you. GPS will take you to the driveway, then use the directions she wrote to get you the rest of the way. Plan for an extra 5 or so mins from what the GPS says so you can get to the location. Bailey K.

55This place is a dream for reactive dogs! It is a beautiful drive and the set up is heaven! Both of our dogs had a great time. She has set up everything for you to be comfy while your dog runs free. The terrain is perfect and our dogs are so worn out after an hour.Callie R.

55This is a beautiful and serene place, and we really enjoyed our time there. Our dog loved it... from the agility equipment, to running and sniffing around among the trees, to trying to catch the birds and a cute squirrel. The host, Melissa, welcomed us and even gave our dog a few pieces of pork roast as a treat.Amber O.

55We always have a great time here, even in the snow! I love that Melissa always leaves out a couple dog beds, so my weenie dogs have somewhere dry to put their feet when they need a break from the snow. And the fresh water is always appreciated! All- time favorite place to take my pack. Andrea J.

55Melissa was extremely helpful, letting us know up front how to get to her property knowing we wouldn't have cell service. Once we got there our pups were in heaven and ran the entire time. We had a blast trying to get our pups to do the agility course...they ended up watching US go through the course instead! Melissa's property was fantastic, thank you so much for letting us visit!Laura P.

55The is an incredible spot!!! I can’t recommend it enough. We will most definitely be back when it’s warmer. There is lots to explore and enjoy for any dog! It was such a safe way to adventure in the mountains with our pups who can sometimes be reactive with unfamiliar dogs. Our bigger dog loved playing on the agility equipment, too. Melissa was very friendly and communicative! Dana K.

55Hazel had a great romp at Melissa’s place! She loved playing on the agility equipment and playing fetch. My toddler also enjoyed running around with the dog, and the spot is beautiful and quiet. We were glad to have 4wd to get up the driveway (this was a wintertime visit). Sarah H.

55This is a wonderful space for any dog but especially reactive dogs who need their own space. The agility equipment was well maintained and fun, lots of space to run and explore and the host is very friendly. I noted I had a reactive dog so her dogs were put away.

55Melissas slave calm, cozy, quiet, and private. My dogs loved running around and finding all the best sticks. I have two reactive dogs and we didn’t have any issues while we were there! We live in downtown Denver and I’m so happy we found this gem of a place to escape the crowded city for a little bit. It’s only about an hours drive out of the city and such a reasonable price. Me and my boys will definitely be back very soon!Chelsea S.

55Melissa's place is truly a Mountain Paradise! It was a much needed escape from the city into what felt like the middle of nowhere. My dog Ruthie and I loved playing in the fenced in area, which was covered in feet (yes, multiple!) of snow today. We might have even lost a ball or two in the deep snow, oops!
The other area, the dog agility playground is fantastic as well. I was incredibly impressed with how brave Ruthie was when climbing the ramps and crawling through the tunnels.
I would absolutely recommend this Mountain Paradise to anyone who needs a nice city escape to enjoy the mountains and peaceful nature scene. The driveway / road to the hose was mostly clear of snow, but I'd still be hesitant to recommend this trek without 4WD or AWD during the winter.
We had an absolute BLAST, and I hope we can come back soon! Thank you, Melissa!Reilley J.

FAQ about our Breckenridge small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Breckenridge?
There are 12 small dog parks in the Breckenridge area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
