October 2020

This was our first time visiting a Sniff Spot, and we will definitely go back again! Tango and I had a blast! I was particularly excited to go because there was an agility course, giving us a wonderful chance to practice. The agility equipment is fantastic; the dog walk, for example, looks brand new, and there are three tunnels, multiple jumps, a teeter, and an A-frame. Just having the chance to practice on the agility equipment would be great enough, but there was also a basket with two tennis ball throwing sticks, frisbees, a Jolly Ball (Tango’s favorite!) and other toys. There was a sparkly clean bucket filled with fresh water, and tons of space to run and play. My energetic border collie was happily tuckered out the rest of the afternoon!😊 I highly recommend bringing your dog here!

This was the first Sniffspot I’ve been to, and it was a great experience. It’s a beautiful space with a great safe fence. It was clean and quiet with plenty of space for my dog to really run. It still feels a little awkward to just show up to use someone’s yard, but the instructions/directions were really helpful. We had so much fun!

This is a beautiful and peaceful spot to play with your pup. The grounds are gorgeous with a pond and stream babbling nearby. The fenced in area has trees and the owner left some agility jumps and weave poles out to use. We enjoyed jumps and frisbee and some Nosework. I will definitely book again!

Love this spot so much! Today's fresh snow made it even more fun for Lucy. I am so thankful for this spot that allows me to let her off leash.

Great Sniffspot! Felt quiet and private (didn’t see/hear other people or dogs while we were here) and lots of sniffs and space for my dog Riley to run and explore around in!

Nice spacious spot with plenty of room to run. Only FYI is that our 70+ lb. dog was able to slip through the gap in the front gate closure pretty easily, but maybe we just didn’t latch the gates tight enough/close enough together? Either way, Liesl had a great time & we’ll be back! Thanks!

Very large open yard with brush and trees. Quiet and well secured. Be prepared for snow, mud and puddles as the weather warms. Lots or room for dogs to explore and run.

My dog had a great time sniffing around. Was curious about the chickens, only barked at them on two occasions once they started waking up / making their sounds. Definitely a nice location, thank you for opening your space !

We have visited this spot multiple times and I cannot say enough good things about it or Kate, the host. This last visit was extra special as my sometimes reactive dogs got to meet one of my best friend's ( who the adore) dog for the first time. I chose to do the intro here because the pups love it, there are numerous high value distractions, and it's safe! The intro went off with out a hitch and now they are all great friends. Thanks again for providing this safe fun space to explore.

We had the best time! Such a wonderful space for the dogs to run and splash in the pool. Thank you! We will be back again soon.

The yard was an amazing space with trees and open space for them to run. Such a great place!

Had a great time, per usual! Just sad the pool wasn’t up, my dog really likes the pool but there was a little pool he could cool off in!

The owner was very nice. She had opened the gate prior to our arrival. I just didn't notice and couldn't figure out how to make the yard secure! A quick message and turning around cleared that up. The chickens didn't care about our dog at all. There was some balls to play with and a lot of wild areas to sniff at things as well as some open areas for running and ball throwing. Our dog had a lot of fun.

So much space and grass to run and roam and sniff. Chickens were unbothered by my very curious younger dog. We had a great time!

FAQ about our Lake Elmo dog parks
