55The dogs had a lot of fun running around & sniffing. The goats being so close made me nervous because they were a loud distraction for my dogs (I have big dogs and was worried about them jumping the fence) after my dog wasn’t ball motived and focused on the goats we put him back on the leash to run around together and continue sniffing around. We enjoyed and will be back! destiny g.

55Beautiful place and, a secure location for dogs to sniff, investigate, and play ball. been here twice so far, the first time with an Akita that detests other dogs, so this was her first time running free in a large open space, off-leash, in a very long time
Second time 2 siblings who just loved the huge area to run safe. My only peeve was other owners that had visited did not bother to pick up their dogs' poop, which left my young granddaughters to tip-toe through. I always have doggie bags in my truck, maybe they could have some at the site?Julie S.

55The girls loved the wide open space and loved staring at the Billy goats across the way. It was easy to find, instructions are pretty clear. The host answers questions pretty quickly. There were some mushrooms growing in the field but my girls didn't seem to have any interest in them. They also didn't seem to like the water troughs but they are picky about their water. They won't drink from public dog fountains either, just thought I'd mention it in case your dogs are picky too! All in all it's a great, safe place for your dogs to run wild in!Danielle M.

55We had a wonderful time with our four dogs here! Its plenty big for them to run, lots of things for them to sniff and explore! The fence was perfect for containing our dogs! And it was nice to have a field that was not covered in weeds and foxtails! We will definitely be coming back! Brianna V.

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! 🐕

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.
