55I liked that this spot was so inviting. Such a friendly atmosphere. My pups totally enjoyed the amount of running space and they sniffed everything. The goats were equally curious of my pups as they of them. Chickens were great too. All in all, great place. Will be back.Emily V.

55My dogs had a great time! My young one kept making me nervous wanting to jump the fence to go see the goats but she refrained from it. They both loved playing in the water trough. :) We will definitely be back! Melanie W.

55This spot is lovely! It was very secure and had lots of interesting places for the dogs to sniff and ton of room for them to run and play fetch. It was so nice that there was a shade structure to rest under when the dogs needed a break. The baby goats were adorable! Kimberly D.

55This sweet little farm is bursting with life! We stopped in to give our pup a good long break while passing through from Washington State. The pasture was great — tidy, well kept, and dotted with a handful of fun things for a dog to sniff and explore. Plenty of room to play fetch! Our lil guy strolled the perimeter, watched the other animals, and loved rolling on his back in the grass below the shade structure.
Also, the baby goats are cute as they come! They are in a separate pasture and pen altogether, so our pup could see them, but at a short distance which provided a lot of excitement and a great training opportunity. Fence is sturdy and solid. Hosts were a dream and went above and beyond to be helpful.
I wish we lived closer— we’d be here often! Amy R.

55We had an excellent 1st experience! My dog loved chasing the flying beetles 🪲 and having room to run! I have mixed feelings about the water trough there. My dog loved it so much he got in it 3 times! But we’re definitely doing a bath 🧼 when we get home ( green water). The goats were fine across the driveway and we felt like we had the place all to ourselves! The shade shelter was great to have. Area was clean. Thanks Tracy. We will definitely be back. We have a happy tired dog! 🐕

55My 3yo standard poodle had a great time here! Owners very nice and welcoming. We didn’t notice any gopher holes or anything like that, lots of room to safely run around! Lots of new sights, sounds, and smells for him. It was his first time seeing goats! Nice shady spots and places to sit provided as well. We will definitely be back! With all the potential distractions for your dog, it’s a great place to work on recall/obedience training, if that’s something you’re into! Sabrina S.

55We will definitely be returning. I have 2 very anxious dogs and when we arrived it was easy to get into the gate and get my dogs on the field. Tons of room for them to run and play, the only thing that I would have to say is that someone didn't clean up after their dogs so I had to pick up a few piles of dog mess. But I will definitely be returning to this spot. Thank you again for letting us enjoy it.Katee B.

55This place was amazing and perfect for my fur baby. She is a reactive dog and very fearful, she got to enjoy herself so much and had a good time. She ran around like crazy! Tracey was great and clear in giving instructions. I recommend to anyone who has a fur baby! 10/10Ashley V.

55Absolutely enjoyed watching my dogs. Have a great time.
It was really nice to not have to worry about other dogs and my dogs did enjoy barking at the goats across the way
They do provide doggy bags and a can to put the waist in, but I did not see water so I brought my own and a bowl.

55First time here and the drive through the country was beautiful. Clean sniffspot with ample parking. Enough space to sniff around. I took my foster dog here for a photoshoot to help with her adoption pictures. Tracy the owner was nice and came out to chat briefly at the end of the session. I love knowing when I book here the funds raised go to support missions in Africa. Pictures of sniffspot coming soon. Christina A.

55I’m struggling to describe just how amazing this place is. It’s literally the perfect sniff spot! It’s nestled into the back of a large well kept farm style property, away from the road and other animals. The sniff spot is large and securely fenced in. Once inside, the ground is grass so you don’t have to worry about goat heads or foxtails. There are two large log areas that are not dangerous along with a tunnel cover with chairs for you to sit while your dog explores. We booked 1 hour and it went by so fast because there there is so much ground to cover and explore. The owner is very responsible and very kind. I highly recommend trying this place out. Amanda V.

FAQ about our Hughson 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.
