55The yard was very secure for the pups to run and play. Easy access to the very clean backyard from the side gate. Both pups got some exercise and enjoyed running around the shed. Very nice and quiet neighborhood. We'll be back. Michael R.

55Jordan’s spot was great! Accessing the space was easy and once in the space, I immediately noticed how secure it was. It’s located in a fairly quiet area which makes for a peaceful visit. I highly recommend this spot and will definitely use it the next time I’m in town again! Bianca S.

55Great yard for the dogs to run around in and sniff. Fencing is secure all the way around (just keep in mind spacing of fence posts if you have a very small dog). Hose and water bowl provided. Maybe bring some bug spray. Melanie G.

55Loved being here. It was such a peaceful spot for my newly rescued pup to run free and safely without much distraction. Such a pleasant and quiet backyard- I myself enjoyed being there as did my pup! Clean, quiet, and perfect.
Noteworthy- there are both gated fences and wood. So smaller pups might be able to squeeze through parts of the gated fence. Lauren M.

55What a great yard! Super clean, nicely manicured, and a great place to run (or so say my three littles)!
My little ones (all under 18lbs) could fit through the wrought iron parts of the fencing, so if you're bringing small dogs just keep an eye on them.
All in all a great place to bring your pups!Brandi H.

55Great backyard! Very clean and neat and comfy chairs. Pretty quiet too… only heard a couple of dogs barking and lots of room to play fetch. She tried to get out through the wire gate with her head so I’m not sure if she would fit bit she stayed in. :)kimberly b.

55This spot was great! First time doing a sniff spot and I loved it. I will say the neighbors dogs did come out and start barking at the fence but that wasn’t an issue for my two. The space was very well maintained and there was shade to sit in while the dogs played. Would go back!Kaitlin M.

55My nervous little golden retriever loves water but living in the city, it’s hard to find places where she can safely fulfill that desire. This was the perfect solution! Highly recommend!Kelsey T.

55This was her first experience with stiff spot and I'm just elated! Everything was perfect and there was nothing that wasn't provided. I videotaped my dogs as they literally ran in circles around the property. There is a piece of pottery that my dog tried to stick his head inside. It was hysterical. Thanks to our host for the nice touches of providing everything for our comfort from poop bags to water. This was really a great experience and I needed change of scenery for both my dogs and me for my backyard. We will definitely be back.Kim J.

55Chucky had a blast! It was his first time swimming and he wasn’t so sure at first but once he was in, he wasn’t getting out. Thank you for providing a great space and all the toys!Cheyene G.

55I’m so thankful for this sniffspot. Seeing my rescue dog get to relax and just be a dog instead - not stressed, just happy and chasing a ball and even becoming brave enough to get in the pool - has been so amazing and been such a help in her behavior and training. It’s always a process with rescues, and this Sniffspot has been such a help in that process!Sarah S.

55Phillip has set up this sniffspot very nicely with additional amenities like cold water bottles, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, poop bags, and lots of toys. Property backs up to lots of trees so it's a nice outdoor, relaxing place. We never encountered other people or pets. Note: the yard is mostly dirt, not grass.Esther G.

FAQ about our Ennis 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. 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 in the Ennis area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 171 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 22 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
