55A great spot for our dogs and the humans too! Had everything we needed and then some! Our dogs were initially scared of the goats, but some treats for everyone and a few minutes of checking them out, all was well!Leann S.

55This sniffspot is a little slice of heaven! We moved to Minneapolis into an apartment in March. It’s been a big change from having our own backyard for us and our dog. My son and my dog loved running around wild while my wife and I enjoyed the hammocks. We will be back as soon as possible. Christian H.

55We had the best time at this ranch Sniffspot!!! I had hoped to give out city pup, Ranger, some more country experiences and safe off leash play for so long and now I finally can. The host is so thoughtful to supply so many amenities, too! He's really thought of everything. I felt very safe knowing Ranger wouldn't get out of the enclosed space. I can see how small dogs could though so keep that in mind! We will definitely be back!!!Jaell L.

55Love coming here to escape the loud city life. I can fully relax knowing my dog is secure in the fencing, and no other dogs can approach us. Daniel even wrote us a handwritten thank you card for supporting his sniffspot- that was so thoughtful! 😊 🐕Marianna L.

55Honestly the perfect Sniffspot. It brings me so much joy to see my dog running around and knowing the fence is secure enough to keep him in and he goes wild for the goats. All the different chairs and hammocks around the property are so nice and the host leaves out a wonderful array of toys and treats. Feeding the goats peanuts really made my week too 🙂Sophie G.

55Such a great Sniffspot. Duggan Ranch has thought of it all. The goats, the treats, the pathways, the stops along the way, the adventure! Both of our pups (15 months old and 14 weeks old) had a wonderful time. We will recommend this for sure and can’t wait to be back. Sara S.

55Our family of dogs had a real blast! Super spacious and a very secured in area for the dogs! The goats were really cool and fun to see! The host also is super kind and had a huge water dish for the dogs, along with really nice table with different things you could use while your there. The signs were super easy to follow and parking was plenty spacious. Highly highly recommend this spot! It’s super beautiful and your dogs will love it!☺️Sarah H.

55It was so great! My dogs were in heaven! We brought our 2 large dogs and two small foster dogs. The foster dogs could definitely fit through most of the fencing if they wanted- but luckily they wanted to be near us. My reactive 1 year old pup barked incessantly at the goats, which are large, not small. I was fully expecting him to bark at them but I was still annoyed with him. I think I’ll check next time if I’m able to close the gate to the goats when I’m there. My kids absolutely loved it! There were walking trails and chairs and even a tent. They loved feeding the goats as well. Overall, extremely pleased and we’ll definitely return!Heather J.

55Absolutely amazing! Super easy to find, very nice signs, and the loveliest wooded area. The goats were an awesome bonus - as well as the basket of goodies like bug spray. It was much appreciated. We’ll definitely be back!Cat M.

FAQ about our Waltham 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Waltham 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 12 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.
