55What a beautiful spot. Loved the nature, the sounds, the sniffs. Goats were sweet, really kicked that herding instinct into high gear. Got my steps in and melted my workday stress away. Daniel is welcoming to guests and we will be back! Thank youamber t.

55My dogs had a great time. The goats were very patient with one of our dogs that is still learning to socialize. The host has everything you might need, we will be back!Jennifer H.

55Absolutely amazing spot! Definitely our new favorite. Very quiet yet serene area. Many places to explore, sit, have a drink (or smoke) and just hangout while the dogs run free. Free firewood provided with a fire pit. Toys, drinks, treats, etc. provided as well. We didn’t get to try the fire pit out but we will for sure do that sometime! Apollo had a blast. The cute goats are a plus too! My fiancé forgot his phone when we left but the host was very friendly and we were able to come back and get it right away. We will be back!Kayla D.

55So much fun. We were a bit nervous about how our reactive dog would deal with the goats. She wasn’t a big fan but it was easy to redirect her with so much other things to explore. Both of our dogs had a blast and we had a good hike around the area trying to keep up with the dogs. We will definitely be coming back. Jamie C.

55Such a great Sniffspot. Duggan Ranch has thought of it all. The goats, the treats, the pathways, the stops along the way, the adventure! Both of our pups (15 months old and 14 weeks old) had a wonderful time. We will recommend this for sure and can’t wait to be back. Sara S.

55Our family of dogs had a real blast! Super spacious and a very secured in area for the dogs! The goats were really cool and fun to see! The host also is super kind and had a huge water dish for the dogs, along with really nice table with different things you could use while your there. The signs were super easy to follow and parking was plenty spacious. Highly highly recommend this spot! It’s super beautiful and your dogs will love it!☺️Sarah H.

55It was so great! My dogs were in heaven! We brought our 2 large dogs and two small foster dogs. The foster dogs could definitely fit through most of the fencing if they wanted- but luckily they wanted to be near us. My reactive 1 year old pup barked incessantly at the goats, which are large, not small. I was fully expecting him to bark at them but I was still annoyed with him. I think I’ll check next time if I’m able to close the gate to the goats when I’m there. My kids absolutely loved it! There were walking trails and chairs and even a tent. They loved feeding the goats as well. Overall, extremely pleased and we’ll definitely return!Heather J.

55Absolutely amazing! Super easy to find, very nice signs, and the loveliest wooded area. The goats were an awesome bonus - as well as the basket of goodies like bug spray. It was much appreciated. We’ll definitely be back!Cat M.

55Such a fun and thoughtfully-cared for sniffspot. The land was beautiful, easy to find, and full of adventurous choices for my dogs. They loved walking the trails with us, watching the goats, and running through the brush. The host provided a full water bowl for the dogs, lots of toys, dog treats, goat treats, a dog towel, bottled water for us, and sunscreen and bug spray. The mosquitos were pretty present on the trail (to be expected) but weren’t bad up near the goats. It was quiet, clean, and so fun! We will definitely be back! keithlee s.

55AMAZING!!! My dog had the best time!! There was so much space for her to run, sniff and explore! She wasn’t quite sure what to make of the goats 😆 but they seemed unbothered! We will definitely be back! Jennifer B.

FAQ about our Albert Lea dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Albert Lea area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 6 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
