55Another lovely trip to the Ranch. The second we turn onto the gravel road, my dogs are beside themselves because they know. Can’t get up the driveway fast enough. :) Today’s goody basket is the reason for my review. It had a selection of the most adorable bunny ears (different colors, sequins, fuzzy, etc). Spent a solid 10 minutes forcing my dogs to wear them so I could take the usual 735 pictures. It really is the little things that make Duggan Ranch so special. Well, the little things and the sweet goats. Never thought I’d get so attached to goats! Absolute gem of a place. Kate B.

55We love this spot and were grateful to be able to come before leaving on a road trip, pups were well exhausted when we got home. Hosts are wonderful and had a bonfire set up and roaring with marshmallows available for roasting for the humans and treats available for the pups, as well as clean tennis balls and fresh water abound. This is our favorite spot and we can't wait to be back 🤗Alyzabeth O.

55I'd give 10 ⭐ if I could!
I had a long stressful week and the peace & tranquility was was so immediate ❤️❤️❤️
When I realized that we only had 25 minutes left of our hour, I immediately regretted not booking 1.5-2 hours. I won't be making that mistake again 😁
This Sniffspot is a Must Visit.
Both my dogs are still sleeping as I write this and it's been 4 hours since we arrived back home ☺️🐕☺️

55We had a blast! This is such a lovely space, very relaxing with so much room for our pups to run and play. We really enjoyed the bon fire, the swing chair, the goats, and all of the dog amenities that made this a fun and prepared visit. They’ve really thought of everything and more! We will certainly be back! Thank you!!Lindsey B.

55We enjoyed a beautiful morning visiting “our friends the goats.” I was glad to see the return of the porta-potty too - I have never actually used it but it’s so incredibly nice that it’s there in the warmer months! Corinna T.

55We’ll definitely be back! It’s the perfect space to explore and play fetch in, with varied terrain and hilly areas that tired out the dog really quick. My dog LOVED the goats and wanted to play with them, but unfortunately for him it was one sided Jean Y.

55We had a blast. My dogs Jells and Bean Dip LOVED the goats (safely separated by fencing). They have plenty of fenced-in space for the dogs to explore and sniff around. Really well kept grounds, easy to access and very clear signage! The amenities at this place are off the charts; included are tug toys, Chuck it, tennis balls (and even clean/used buckets), trash/poop and recycling bins, dog treats, food and treats to feed the goats, camping tents set up for dogs, and more! AND they have a fridge with FREE drinks for humans, and a campfire going (with fire safety equipment) and plenty of chairs. BEST SNIFFSPOT around, hands down! Brian M.

FAQ about our Apple Valley dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
