55We had a great time as usual!! The goats are always a source of entertainment for my kids and myself. Got to meet Rick this go around and he couldn't be any nicer of a man! He was very welcoming and conscious of dog behavior. As always, the property was clean and safe!! Thanks again!Michael M.

55This was an excellent choice for us to spend Joey’s first birthday at! She loved all of the smells and really enjoyed repeatedly going over to look at the goats. We will definitely be back! Thank you for an excellent time!Shannon H.

55Place was easy to find, but thankfully the host was there to confirm that I was in the right place. He pointed us to the sniff spot entry and after that, he left me and pup to enjoy their space :)
The space was great for me and my pup. I brought our own soccer ball and frisbees and we had more than enough space to throw and kick and run around. There was water provided but I brought my own bc of the whole mystery canine illness going around right now. The water and the water dish looked clean though!
There were also sheep and goats and I saw one horse in a nearby property. It wasn't directly adjacent to the sniff spot but my pup was able to see them through the fence so that was nice. There was also a couple of goats(?) on the actual property and there was a couple of viewing spaces on the wooden fence where my pup was able to watch one of the goats. It was really cute and nice to witness my pup witness that.
All in all a great place for us. My puppy is all tired and is sleeping as I write this. Highly recommended! Kyra F.

55It’s a cute, fenced space that has benches for humans to sit while letting their dog run around. They had extra balls and a water bowl. The place was kept clean, didn’t find any stray piles. Madi N.

55We had such a great time! Our dog was absolutely fascinated by the goats (behind a fence) and the sheep in the distance. The host's attention to detail is so much appreciated. Lovely woodwork including a shelter. Tons of places to sit and more than ample room for our baby to run and play. Had a beautiful, peaceful time. We will be back when we're in the area again!

55Today was our 2nd visit. Such a nice little property!! Big enough for our 75lbs dog to play some good fetch and for our little one to scout. They love the goat peep holes and love seeing them. We will be back! Thanks again for sharing such a lovely space!!Michael M.

55This is a great, quiet spot with plenty of room to play with the chuck it and wear out the fur babies. If you feel like you’re being watched, it’s just the 2 goats wondering what you’re doing :) I plan on bringing my pup here once he’s fully vaccinated to work with training him, perfect spot to do so!

55This spot was just the right size for my lab and me! He had plenty of sniffing, enough room to run after the balls, clean water and shelter from the rain. I didn’t have to walk acres to keep up with him! The goat was inside out of the rain much to my dog’s unhappiness! The area was clean, didn’t see any dog poop around. Easy access, we will be back!Vivian S.

55Nice setting, unless your dog might be reactive to farm animals in sight. Mine don't care and I like seeing the farm animals acrossed the field. The hose with an attachment is great for rinsing the pups' feet after they have run around before they get in the car!Maggie G.

55Fantastic yard with benches, toys and water. My dogs were very interested in the sheep nearby but I still managed to get them distracted and run around the huge yard several times. They’re tired and happy now. Sharon J.

FAQ about our South Bend fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
