55Great site. Plenty of room to run. The hosts provide a multitude of toys, water features, and even tick spray for running through the woods! Our boys enjoyed the goats—they were friendly and came/went throughout the course of our visit. I loved that there were treats to coax the goats out/encourage interaction. Sima B.

55First time using sniff spot and I loved it!! Duggan Ranch was such a fun experience for both myself and Scout. I loved the goats, extra supplies (water for humans, balls, treats, bug spray, towels) seating, and all the space to run. Will definitely come back again :)Ali M.

55This was our first visit, yet the most productive and fascinating place we ever been to. Our reactive dog first had some aggression towards the goats, yet she got more calm after. The time flies at the spot, and almost missed our scheduled time! We will definitely be back soon.Yoon K.

55This is such a nice spot. The owners have clearly put in a lot if time and effort to make this place inviting and fun. I asked if I could gather some wild seeds while I was there and they left out a bowl with coneflower seeds in it for me! There are also many native plants in the spot so it is lovely. Also the goats are very calm. I was worried my reactive dogs would scare the goats and make things chaotic but the goats were unfazed. That was good for my reactive dog to see another animal that stays calm which deescalated his behavior. I'll definitely come back! Ellie B.

55Oh did a young lab named Sophie have fun getting introduced to tents, trails, woods and goats. Wonderful experience for her human as well with goat and dog treats, towels, combs in case they pick up burrs in the woods l, water, a kiddle pool snd sprinkler and just a fun/interesting area with beautiful trees. This time i did not toss balls but she retrieved some in the woods. Will be back! First time i was worried i would not get my dog out on time but she loved the treats you had for dogs. A very special place.Karen L.

55My 2 dogs and I had a lovely time romping up and down the hills. The goats were Very tolerant of my overly curious and Barky boys.
All the thoughtful extras like bug spray, toys, water for both dogs and humans really made it a great time especially because this visit was very last minute and not well planned and packed for.
We will definitely be back!!
Thanks so much for opening your yard up to other peoples dogs:)Leah R.

55Always such a great time! Enzo loved seeing all the wildlife around the area and, of course, seeing his goat friends again. His favorite thing to do is to run, and run fast! No better place to do that then this spot! The new rain shelter area is wonderful and is so nice to have incase you need it (Not to mention the waters in the mini fridge are a wonderful touch)! You can tell they are constantly improving the experience and taking care of the customers. Sharon S.

55My sweet Nellie girl ran her heart out and absolutely loved the giant tennis balls and swimming pool available! There are so many amenities for dogs and humans, and the goats were as sweet as last time! This spot is a little farther away for us but always worth the drive! We hope to be back soon again.sydney b.

55Wonderful spot so much room for activities! The goats were so sweet and really interested in seeing us. It was fall time, so there were quite a few burrs that were caught in our little Portie's hair so be careful where you let them run, but overall great experience.Luke B.

55My and my friend’s dogs loved this Sniffspot! They thought of everything, water, food dishes, tall fences, and supplies for you and the dog. The dogs were so happy to be able to run through the woods and explore. Noses were very busy! Melissa F.

FAQ about our Faribault dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends 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. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
