55My 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!Ashley R.

55Gunnar 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. Emily P.

55We 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!Jessica B.

55My 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! Robin B.

55What 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! Lorraine G.

55What a fun space for dogs and humans alike! My pups had so much fun racing through the trails and exploring the “pup tent” and sniffing the goat area. One was less of a fan of the curious goats than the other but I loved being able to feed them a snack and give them a scratch on the head! Lots of toys and fresh cold water from the house for the dogs. They even provide free cold beverages for the humans. So many amenities. Thanks for sharing your space! We’ll be back. Leah T.

55My puppy loved it! Leaving was the first time he has ever tried to run away from me to stay somewhere! He is usually glued to me lol, I think he would have stayed the entire day! I appreciate the chance to help expose my pup to so many new things! What an amazing spot!Jessie P.

55Duggan Ranch was clean, well stocked, and had so much space! I loved the little stations set up throughout the land - it was awesome for desensitizing my dog to things she hasn't encountered. It's obvious Daniel cares about the experience people have here. Tundra and I will definitely be coming back.P. A.

55We had been looking at this spot for weeks and finally decided to give it a try and we were amazed at how perfect it was! The directions and signs were very clear so we had no problem finding everything we needed. So many toys provided, as well as sunscreen, water bottles, bug spray (for humans and doggies) and anything else you could think of and more! Our sweet Nellie loved running all over and playing with the giant tennis balls! She was unsure of the goats but we had fun feeding and giving them pets. This Sniffspot is perfect and we hope to be back soon!🐾😁sydney b.

55PERFECT!! 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!!Kathleen C.

FAQ about our Alden 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Alden 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 5 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.
Does Alden have any fully fenced dog parks?
Sniffspot has 5 fully fenced dog parks in or near Alden. Browse all fully enclosed options.
