55This was our first time using Sniffspot and we feel very fortunate that we picked Mama's Homestead. There is plenty for the dogs to explore and sniff. Places for people to sit, swing, walk. The puppies are safe because everything is fenced in. A great time had by all. No need for us to look elsewhere. This will be our go to! Joddi G.

55I’ve been to several Sniff Spots! This one is my favorite so far. 4 acres fenced in with wonderful shaded walking paths. The fenced in goats & chickens were an added plus and absolutely fascinated our dogs. The hosts met us to give us the run down & were SO polite & friendly. HIGHLY Recommend!!! We live 35 minutes away & it was definitely worth the drive. They have a hose, water bowl, a porch swing & some other nice covered seats as well. Elizabeth L.

55Pamela’s spot was fantastic! Lots of sniffs to be had in a clean, secure, quiet location. We had a fun time with the balls and agility equipment provided. Pamela also had a dog pool with fresh water, dog water bowl, toys and treats, and cold bottled drinks for us. We can’t wait to come back again!Kathryn M.

55Amazing spot, and gracious host! There was so much room to roam and run. Lucy (my pup) is a vary anxious dog by nature, and I have taken her to Sniff Spots, where she immediately tries to get out of the yard and to my car. There are those few spots where she is comfortable and ready to play, and this was one of those Sniff Spots! She literally hit the ground running and there is so much space to run! The host had a kiddy pool, water, for Lucy AND for the guests! The host had waste bags and toys. I am grateful for these hosts, especially for kind people, as this host is.holly K.

55This was my first Sniffspot. My dogs had a fun time running around. I even got my lazy boy to try the little obstacle course. There was a little dog pool, water for the dogs, some toys, treats, and even drinks for me and my friends. Lovely first time for us all! (My friend took these great photos)Maddison B.

55We had the best time! We had a puppy reunion, with 8 dogs meeting their siblings for the first time. The location and setup was perfect, as we didn't have to worry and could let the dogs run around and play. There were so many lovely touches, including water, drinks for the humans, toys, the kiddie pool, and the property was impeccably clean and well-kept. Pam was incredibly kind and accommodating! We will be back for sure! Janet C.

FAQ about our 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.
