55Roberts place was Jack and Athena’s, as well as my boyfriend and my first sniff spot. As the same for him. And I can say it definitely was a welcoming invite. He is a nice guy with a lovely yard and very beautiful. Very respectful and thoughtful as well. Jack and Athena our dogs had the best time there. Just smiles all around 🐶Lizzy L.

55Highly recommend visiting this spot!! It was so fun to feed the goats and our dogs absolutely loved all the space to run. There’s plenty of toys and treats, as well as other goodies to use while there. Looking forward to our next time in Minnesota so we can visit again! Isabella D.

55My dog had a joyful romp throughout the fenced grounds and experienced her first goat encounter. So much fun. Daniel is very responsive to questions and provides all the essentials (plus more!) for dogs and the humans they bring along. Thank you!Chris E.

55This sniffspot was AMAZING. The goats, the amenities (bottled water, treats for the goats and dogs, a hose and bowls, headlamps available for evening visits), the paths—all exceeded my expectations. I have a reactive dog and wasn’t sure how she would do with the goats but she did great—just very curious. Overall, this place is worth the drive and spending a little more for a great experience!Danielle H.

55This was our first SniffSpot and I am fairly certain nothing will come close to how amazing this place is! We are on a two week road trip and the dogs (and humans!) loved every bit of love and attention that was put into this SniffSpot. The goats are just the cherry on top!! Highly recommend and the only negative is we don’t live close enough to visit regularly!!! We will absolutely be visiting anytime we’re in town!Jacqueline R.

55My dog wasn’t to sure about the goats but they kept their distance and theirs a fence in between. It was his first time ever seeing live stock which was a cool experience to see! He loved running around and sniffing things! 10/10 sniffspot!Logan A.

55Loved this spot! Had treats for the dogs and goats! Water set out, poop bags, everything you could need! We went in the evening and there were tiki torches lit and he even offered to light a fire for us! Perfect for off leash training!! We will be going back for sure! Rebecca G.

55Thank you so much for sharing your property with us townhome-dwellers! Nova had a GREAT time exploring and visiting with the goats, and we appreciated all of the amenities for people, dogs AND goats!
There was plenty of fresh water for Nova and she loved the crunchy treats. Thank you so much for fencing off the pond area at the bottom of the property; Nova would have jumped right in there without a second thought. I can't wait to bring a group of friends here to enjoy a canine social.
FYI to lowered cars- it is a long dirt road and the route is a bit bumpy at times. The generous parking area is in a mowed area. Tanya M.

55Easy to find and great directional prompts to the Sniffspot parking and entrance! Daniel has definitely gone out of his way to welcome guests to his ranch with signs, notes, water, treats, and toys. My dog loved to run the trails and there were a few grassy areas to play fetch. Lots of spots along the trail for humans to sit and rest and enjoy nature. The goats were adorable, very curious and friendly. My dog just kept barking at them, so I kept him distracted by exploring other areas of the ranch. Great spot, we will be back.Laurie T.

55This is such a great spot! Securely enclosed, plenty of space for our two large dogs to romp, clean and lots of places to sit, if your dogs will actually let you sit. And the goats are adorable. Jennifer B.

55Brought my Senior Large Breed dog to have some space and calm from a playful and wild J. Russell at home. She enjoyed slow strolls, fascinated with the goats, but just liked the peace. Perfect for a slowing down older dog to get out and just take things in on their own. Thank you so much for this space!Erin D.

55My dog and I had a great time here! It was really nice having a secure space to work on recall and also watch our dog do her favorite thing -sprinting around like a greyhound.
There was plenty of space, secure fencing, and our host was very accommodating. He even came out to offer us an umbrella when it was pouring rain. I loved meeting the goats, though my dog was a little scared!
We will definitely be back again. Nichole N.

55This is the most magical SniffSpot! It has everything you could ever dream of. The cattle fencing is very sturdy and secure. The goats were so gentle and peaceful. My dog is reactive, so I kept him on a long lead at first, but after 20 min, he and the goats were friends! It's truly amazing how calming the goats were for my dog. We booked one hour and it wasn't long enough because there is so much to explore and sniff.
I live only 20 min from this SniffSpot, but I felt like I was 'up north'. Simply a slice of heaven right outside the city! You can tell Daniel put alot of time getting his spot ready for guests. I love all the artwork and different seating areas. We felt very welcomed and comfortable in this safe space.
My dog was so tired that he had to be lifted into the car....never had to do that before...hes only 3 🤣❤️
Can't wait to go back! Marianna L.

FAQ about our Albert Lea 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.

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.
