55This was Bruce's and I's first Sniffspot and it did not disappoint! Very peaceful, a lot of space for both running around and relaxing, and the goats were lovely hosts. Clarissa N.

55My first time using Sniffspot and it was a hit! Dogs absolutely loved it - and this host sets so many nice things out for your convenience. I was worried my herding dog would be a little too obsessed with the goats but he listened and got over it (he was most outraged when I put treats in the goat feeder and he couldn’t share them! Directions were excellent. Definitely will be back. Vera A.

55So fun! My dog was scared of the goats at first, but after a bit of time all he wanted to do was hang out with them. The goats love trying new snacks, we gave them blueberries. We will be back!Emma F.

55There are great sniff spots in the MSP area and then there is this one which is almost too good to be true. It has it all, so much to sniff, goats, places to sit, water for dogs and people, toys, bug spray, a trail and woods. After you go here it will be your favorite spot.Susan C.

55Great spot for your fur-babies to explore! We celebrated my dog's 2nd birthday with nine of his friends and had a FANTASTIC evening. Ample parking and Daniel left a cooler of water, bug spray, and toys/treats for the dogs. Best part were the goats- the humans and dogs couldn't get enough of them! Definitely recommend!Christine S.

55Fantastic spot with an interesting landscape and plenty of amenities! We would have stayed longer if the weather hadn't been sweltering. So relieved that the goats were not afraid & our high prey drive dogs didn't pester them too much. We'll be back when the weather is cooler!Libby B.

55It was a really nice place and Jasmine found the goats interesting. I think she wanted to play with them. It was nice that she had room to play fetch and a lot of things to sniff around at. I would bring her back again, but maybe on a less hot day.j w.

55This place is a textbook sniff spot that goes above and beyond to create the best experience. I highly recommend booking for at least 2 hours. You'll regret it if you don't! The location has plenty of space for dog/s to run around, there is plenty of seating in shade and sun, and the goats are a huge selling point! (Probably my dog's favorite part) The photo props, water bottles, goat treats, and dog treats are a great touch. Can't wait to come back. Sharon S.

55Even better than the pictures! The goats are so chill. Great kiddie pool for when it's hot. Winding dirt paths that are shaded. They even provide some snacks for the goats. Definitely will be back!! Laura M.

55Loved the trails and all of the different sitting spots! Especially the top of the hill where I can watch my dogs run all over! The exposure to the goats were great - I was able to work on my dog's reactivity and by the end he didn't care about the goats! He loved them and kept checking up on them.Rachelle V.

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. 80% 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 4 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.
