55We all loved Mama’s Homestead and will definitely come back. The property is beautiful and safely fenced in. When we come to town to visit family we are always looking for someplace to let our dog run and this place was perfect! LOTS of good smells and room to zoom.Julie and Pruitt A.

55We had a ton of fun visiting this spot. There was a lot of open space for my dogs to run around, shaded areas to cool down, and fully fenced. A few notes: I saw some soggy spots in the yard, they had a bowl of water out, and some extra toys in the yard.Anna B.

55It was a beautiful visit with more greenery on the trees, and my pup loved running the loop on the trails and checking out the chickens. He loved playing fetch with his ball on the expansive lawn, too. Chrissy N.

55Hosts were very helpful upon arrival and the space was lovely, just as described. We had a great time walking around with our dog while she sniffed, zoomied, and splashed in the creek. She loved seeing the goats, and so did we! We never even got our frisbee or any other toys out, and by the end of our visit, our dog was exhausted. Great spot!! Ellie H.

55Very nice place and friendly owners. Our small dog was most interested in trying to make friends with the chickens but plenty of other stuff to explore.Cliff H.

55Lanelle was great at providing instructions for how to get to the sniffspot and greeted us for our first visit. The spot has many different activities and areas for dogs to run, sniff, and even jump into a small creek! My dog was interested to meet farm animals for the first time up close and had a great time exploring the whole property off leash. It was great letting him roam while knowing he couldn't wander too far. Highly recommend!Victoria L.

FAQ About Galena 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 Galena 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 178 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 295 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.
