55Great yard to enjoy on a beautiful day! My dog enjoyed sniffing the entire yard and something behind the sliding glass door kept her busy. Blinds were shut so I don't know what it was. Perfect amount of room to play fetch, water with ice cubes was available, and a chair for me to relax in. I knew it was worth it when she actually laid down on the grass!Pat C.

55This is a new Sniff Spot. When we (my pup and I arrived) the property looked very nice and welcoming with lovely fall leaves for my pup to romp in. There was a pup next door in a fenced area who greeted us. The fenced entrance gate was secured. Unfortunately I was having a problem with my knee and couldn’t keep the appointment after all. The owner, Ashley, came out and asked if she could be of assistance. I encourage you to check out this spot. It looks very nice.Michelle F.

55we got lost on our first visit, OUR FAULT for not paying attention to the given advise. Don't plug in the address and expect to get there! But our pups were over the top happy to have new, cool, places to explore. And the chickens were accepted by the pups. No problem there. Carol M.

55Secure, fenced inside with lots of nooks and crannies for my dog to sniff. He was especially curious about the chickens! Finding the entrance was a little tricky because Google maps took me down to River Road when I should have stuck to Dockman Trail. Once I figured that out, no problems Becky R.

55Such a spacious and fun spot! We weren’t quite sure how our dogs would do with the chickens, but it was easy enough to redirect them. One of the dogs had trouble seeing the wire fence and ran into it a couple of times before taking note of the boundary. Securely fenced, lots of toys/balls, and we hope to make it back in the summer for the little pool!Julian E.

55Great spot. We were first timers to SniffSpot and not sure what to expect. We loved this place and have a nice, tired poodle! Lots of open areas to run and play. Very clean too!Amy R.

55All in all had a fabulous time with our pups! We did learn that one of our pups is a bit skittish when trains pass and we encountered one train go by while we were there so if you have pups that are sensitive to those kinda noises that’s the only thing I’d keep in mind! Other than that so much room for the pups to run around and sniff! Will definitely be back!Andrew S.

55Great spot to play! When you latch the gate - be sure to latch the mesh fencing at the bottom of gate. I didn't see this the first time and my dog walked out!Jessie F.

55This location was wonderful! We brought our 3 dogs plus our 2 foster dogs, one of who is reactive to people and dogs she doesn’t know. I was worried about her with the chickens but she honestly didn’t care about them with so many spots to explore and sniff. The space was private and perfect for us. All of the dogs loved it and we’ll definitely be back!Rebecca J.

FAQ about our Cottage Grove 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 Cottage Grove 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 277 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 16 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.
