Few things are more enjoyable than letting your pup run off the leash and watching them chasing another dog or playing fetch in the water. Luckily, you’ll find plenty of places to take your pooch to burn off some energy while having the time of its life. Great off-leash dog parks exist in the Twin Cities, up north, and in the suburbs. Some require permits, while a few are free.
While Minnesotans embrace the winter, you’ll also see some indoor venues. After all, temperatures below zero with corresponding wind chills are not out of the ordinary for the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
