Roberts place was Jack and Athena’s, as well as my boyfriend and my first sniff spot. As the same for him. And I can say it definitely was a welcoming invite. He is a nice guy with a lovely yard and very beautiful. Very respectful and thoughtful as well. Jack and Athena our dogs had the best time there. Just smiles all around 🐶

PERFECT!! They provided water for people and doggies, lots of toys, sunscreen, bug spray etc etc. Many other extras. Space to shelter if a storm comes in, very comfy chairs to sit in. A very calming and nice space for a walk and space to throw balls/frisbees. Loved this space and will definitely be back. Will also recommend to friends. The goats were sweet and loved the peanuts, not so interested in the carrots! Our dogs weren’t quite sure what to make of them. It seems a lot of care and attention has been devoted to this spot. 10 stars!!

this is a fun, well set up sniff spot! there are a ton of toys, water, bug spray, poop bags, and places to sit throughout the property! the goats are also so fun, and put up with my dog attempting to herd them from outside the fence 🤣

My dog Hank and I had such a fun time here! The goats were the highlight for both of us. Hank had never seen them before and he was so curious about them. We would take a lap around the property on the nice dirt/wood chipped paths and each time we got back up by the barn he would wait outside the goat fencing until they came back out to see us. :) There were so many toys and tennis balls available, water, bug spray and shade. We loved it all!

Gunnar was so interested in the goats he didn’t want to leave them. He even investigated around the barn to try and find a way he could join them. This is a lovely fully fenced pasture. It is on a slope but there are enough places that are level with places to sit for humans (very much appreciated). There are toys, water and bug spray for dogs and treats for the goats and dog. We will definitely be coming back.

We had a wonderful time at Duggan Ranch! I have a sometimes reactive dog and she was able to be off leash and explore to her hearts content. My boy was obsessed with the goats. He really wanted to play with them. They were both super tired when we left. A successful visit!

My pups and I had a blast! The space is very clean and well kept up, with a clear trail through the property. Lots of toys and water laid out for the dogs, and plenty of garbages to throw poop! And the goats! It was great exposure for my boy who’s got some serious curiosity for animals he isn’t familiar with. They were super friendly and didn’t shy away from nosey dogs. We will definitely be back!

What a fabulous time we had at Duggan’s Ranch sniffing goats, chasing balls, hiking the paths. Even the resting spots were fun (particularly the swinging chair). My collie and I will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time! All the little extras, the attention to detail, very clean and organized, clear directions ... definitely an A+ Spot and the goats are a unique experience for most dogs! We will be back!

We love it here! Amazing host who has thought of everything. Lots of space for my dog to run and fetch, and lots of trail space for lots of sniffing. My dog never wants to leave.

Amazing property! Just what your dog needs for some extra outdoor enrichment that differs from backyard time. Well kept and great communication. City dog paradise! Will be back for future hiking training. Happy dog happy owner

This spot was great! More than expected! The 4 goats were great and they cater to so many things! A little trail, free water, dog toys and balls and frisbees! This place is Awesome and great hosts!

It was amazing! This was our first Sniffspot and it was so fantastic! Tons of space, so many great items provided! We worked with our dog on not barking at the goats, but the goats themselves seemed super friendly and eager to see us. Will totally come again!

Kalyn C.

July 2023

Such a neat spot. The neighborhood is very quiet; it’s peaceful. Appreciated the toys, water and bug spray in Minnesota summer! Also that there were multiple cans for dog waste throughout the property. My boys did a lot of sniffing, full sprint running and even encountered a little garter snake! Will have to come back again for a longer time period so I can use the hammock.

A wonderful place to allow dogs to run and sniff. So much more than just a back yard. It has woods and grasses and walking paths. There is water for dog and people to drink. The goats love to see us.

Torie C.

July 2023

I saw all of the amazing reviews and photos, but this place is even more amazing in person! We brought our newest foster dog and two resident dogs. Needless to say, they had a BLAST. Much needed for 3 dogs living in a city apartment. The amenities are so thoughtful and Daniel included everything you need (and way more)! We will definitely be back as often as we can, thanks for a great time!

As always, we had an awesome time. Today was a study in trying to put our body places it wouldn’t fit, in search of the sniff 🤣

Loved our experience, very easy to locate and the goats were awesome. Easily walkable trail throughout the property, signage all around and very well fenced in.
