55A perfect spot for my large dog!! There’s so much space to run around and the fence was very secure for him. The goats are a fun bonus! There are lots of toys, water, and snacks for the pups. Lots of places for people to sit down too. Will definitely be going back!Erica K.

55This was our first visit to any Sniffspot and we will be back. They had prominently displayed the logo signs and arrows along the driveway showing us where to park. All of the information was clearly marked and exactly what had been described on the Sniffspot website. The fence was secure and our dogs loved running up and down the hills in the wooded pasture. We also enjoyed the swing and hammocks in the area.
Of course, being able to pet the goats was an added bonus.Dixie R.

55I just can't say enough about this place. Whatever you think you're looking for in a Sniff spot let me tell you this is it. Kid friendly with the adjacent (but coordined off goats) and nearly 3 acres of trails and fun for the pups. We can't wait to go back. It's absolutely worth the drive from Minneapolis!! Julie M.

55This Sniffspot is fantastic. Today is the first time I’ve ever tried a Sniffspot and the bar is set high. There was so much for my dog to sniff and explore, but his favorite of course was the goats! He couldn’t get enough of them. Much better than the dog park and less stressful for my dog.Becky R.

55The property is beautiful and has it all- woods, hills, an open field area. The goats are adorable and were interested in treats😊. My dog got so much mental stimulation and tons of exercise running long huge sprints. kristina C.

55We had such a wonderful time with our Golden Pyrenees, Apollo at Goats! Sniffspot @ Duggan Ranch. The goats were friendly and there were dog treats and complimentary beverages. There was so much room for Apollo to run free and explore and my wife and I also enjoyed walking the grounds. There was even a lovely fire burning when we arrived, which made us feel welcome. We'll definitely be back! Such a nice location. Highly recommend for city dogs who need some space to run off leash. Michael L.

55First time going to a sniffspot and my dog and I had an amazing experience!! I was worried that my reactive dog would be too afraid of the goats, but she did just fine and even wanted to see them several times. My dog has bone cancer so I wanted to make it a special time. Thank you for the fire as well! It smelled amazing the whole time and really made it an even better experience.Samantha H.

FAQ about our Cottage Grove 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.
How can I find dog fields in Cottage Grove?
There are 22 dog fields in the Cottage Grove area. The most popular dog field is Goats! Sniffspot @ Duggan Ranch. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
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.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Cottage Grove area range from $18.0 and $18.0. The least expensive dog field is Goats! Sniffspot @ Duggan Ranch. The most expensive dog field is Goats! Sniffspot @ Duggan Ranch. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
