55Go past the side of the house (you'll see their swimming pool on the right) until you reach the gate. They opened the gate and I parked in there. The area available for dogs to explore is "C" shaped with the pond in the middle. I felt secure letting my dogs off leash since the area was fenced and kept an eye out to make sure they didn't jump over it. So much for dogs to do! Smells galore! Pond, wood pile and poop! Come on....it's a farm! Will definitely go back! Rachelle K.

55My two little pups had a blast! We were met at the gate and showed the property, then left to our own devices to have fun! They especially loved meeting some new farm animal friends through the fence.Sarah P.

55This is Disneyland for dogs. Best Sniffspot I've ever taken my dog. So much to sniff and endless ground to walk and play. Host and his daughter are so incredibly nice. Michelle R.

55WOW! Just had the most amazing visit! Jen is an incredible host and her beautiful yard was absolutely perfect for my dogs’ first experience with a pool. The pool is gorgeous, with a gradual step down (where you see the chairs in the pool under the umbrella in the host pics), and that step made Rex much more comfortable. I think that made all the difference in him learning to swim today! And there are lots of things to sniff and explore in the rest of the yard, which was perfect because my other dog was not feeling the swimming vibe today. I’m already booking more visits, so maybe she will learn to love it eventually. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely Sniffspot with us, Jen! Kerry L.

55My dog Merlin had undiagnosed hypothyroidism for over two years. As a result, he gained 20 pounds in 2 years. I've been trying to get him swimming but he's been hesitant. Until today! This Sniffspot was absolutely fantastic. The setup is incredible with a beautiful well kept pool that has shade and full sun. The rest of the yard is as great as the pool. The wonderful host provided toys, treats and ice cold water. I am so lucky to have this incredible sniffspot only 2 miles from my house.Michelle R.

FAQ about our Galt dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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 are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs 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. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
