55Great open space, fully fenced, with goats and chickens in adjacent pastures. This gave me a chance to work with a fresh dog who likes to bark at livestock. She did really well staying on task with ball fetching and the farm animals didn’t care at all when she barked so that was good too. It’s a working farm so I’d recommend that humans wear boots 🤣🤣.

55I wish I could give 10 stars! I can’t say enough about the hospitality, the space and cleanliness that these wonderful strangers afforded us. I don’t need to keep looking. We will be here on a weekly basis. What an amazing experience! Christopher B.

55Most beautiful, scenic, peaceful sniffspot ever!! We haven been using sniffspot for quite some time now but Serenity Farm is easily our favorite one thus far! It’s not just a backyard. It’s a beautiful farm with the nicest goats and farm animals. We went on a really pretty fall afternoon and it was straight out of a movie. Rebecca, thanks for sharing your place to us! We can’t wait to go back and try the farm tour. Such a gem!!! Hannah B.

55Had a blast at Serenity Farm Sniffspot with my 3 pups. Very large clean area securely fenced with shade. The farm animals added to the excitement for my dogs! They (& I) loved it. We will return that’s for sure. Barbara C.

55Another fun adventure at this amazing sniffspot. With the horses and goats out in their adjacent fenced areas, there was so much for our dog to see and sniff. This time we included the farm tour extra which gave us even more space to explore during our off leash sniffari, in addition to the huge paddock where we got to run and play during our previous visits. The owners provided a video with clear instructions about the additional areas which was very helpful. Thank you for sharing this beautiful property with us!Tiina A.

55Rebecca was a pleasure to meet and was available on short notice for using her spacious fenced-in paddock and barn. Everything was accurately described, clean, friendly, and my dollars go towards a great cause! An added bonus was the sweet and non-reactive other farm animals nearby. We got to do some reactivity and desensitization training, as well as get our dogs’ energy out. Highly recommend! We will be coming back, for sure. sara m.

55First of all, I very much appreciated having Rebecca meet us to show us around and explain things. This was the first time that anyone has done that and it was enormously helpful!....and she was extremely pleasant and accommodating. There was a huge field for my girls to run and explore and a huge barn for them to investigate...along with a few pieces of agility climbing equipment. There were penned goats and chickens outside for them to watch/sniff but not get close enough to be intrusive. The areas were securely fenced so I was able to do some off leash recall training without being concerned that they would get distracted and bolt. The girls had a great time with all the new smells. I give it a two thumbs up!Sue S.

55Serenity Farm is an incredible place to bring your dogs. Rebecca, the hostess, was warm and inviting, providing me with a full tour of the facilities and breakdown of the animals my dogs my come across. Mine were amazed by the goats and wanted nothing more than to play with them. The indoor facilities were amazing as well, and offered a stimulation break from the farm animals.
This was the first time my dogs have been able to be off leash, and they loved every minute we were there. We'll certainly be back!Zac M.

55This Sniffspot was the best! I have been to many as I am a dog trainer and try to give my dog as many experiences as possible, this one was recommended to me by one of my clients. So many opportunities for enrichment as there were farm animals (secure outside of fields for dog access) and agility equipment. Owners greeted us as we arrived to show us around. Would even be great for bad weather as the agility barn was fully covered. Highly recommend!

55Fantastic farm! Perfect spot for off leash sniff-afaris, especially for reactive dogs. My dog does not like other dogs so having the freedom to run and play off leash with no fear of other dogs is great. Plus, with the farm animals it let's her get more accustomed to other animals without direct interaction and allows us to start working on some reactive commands and training! Highly recommend!Dessi M.

55This was our second time here and the dogs had a great time romping around in the large securely fenced area. They were fascinated by the farm animals and had lots of fun sniffing. Thank you for sharing this amazing spot with us! Tiina A.

FAQ About Salem 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. 7% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Salem 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 202 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 496 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.
