55Great open space for dogs to play. Plenty of room for exploring and in such a beautiful setting. Smaller dogs may be able to fit through some of the gates to the rest of the property. Be sure to check your dogs for burrs and foxtails after!Laurel H.

55We had so much run running around and playing here today - Simon didn't want to leave!
Very easy to find, well fenced, and ton of space. Another dog has started a significant excavation project near the chairs/table, so be careful. Our boy seemed to find it pretty hilarious to drop his balls in the hole and make us fish it out. Heather W.

55We have a wonderful experience at this Sniffspot, Waylan needs space to run with no other dogs around. This spot is just that. Waylan chased after balls, frisbees, and played in the dirt. The owners provided everything you need for your fur baby to play. It was a well groomed area and safely fenced in. Waylan gives five paws!Lisa H.

55A great spot for the pups! Fresh water, toys, and some shady spots if things heat up! They also added sticks to the open field to warn you about gopher holes, our one dog loves Frisbee and this helped him from falling in holes!Audrey C.

55Absolutely awesome nice open field but had a lovely shaded area and chairs for breaks. Tons of room for our Aussie to really run wide open. There was fresh water, extra bowls, agility equipment, toys you name it. Will be back! Brooke T.

55My two Great Pyrs had an amazing time playing ranch dogs for awhile today. They cruised the entire property and found everything good to smell, following interesting smells up trees and down holes! Lots of shade to relax in , clean and quiet. They had a great time.Jill C.

55We loved the huge area to run and explore! There is plenty of shade in various locations created by big old trees!! The ground has a lot of soft sand which is excellent. As much as my dog explored the perimeter he did not escape, it’s well fenced! The clean freshwater and toys and balls are so appreciated! We want to return! Thank you for sharing this great place with our dogs and giving them a safe place to be dogs!!!Gina R.

55Lovely spot, plenty of shade for my dog to sit in and myself. He had a great time roaming around, I think it was a bit hot for him to run around much (my bad I didn’t expect it to get this hot so fast) but he still had a great time glad I found this place!Irena H.

55My dogs had a great time sniffing and running around! I was a little worries about the fence but it did keep all 4 of my dogs contained. I'll definitely be visiting again :) Fiona T.

55This was my first experience using Sniffspot and I was not disappointed. It was so lovely being in a private space with my dog knowing that we would be the only ones there. He got to explore and run around which is something he loves to do! They had plenty of toys to use and the space was clean. There are a lot of holes throughout the property so I would say be careful if you plan to throw a ball or something for your pup. I threw the ball a few times for my boy but that’s about it because I was worried about possible injuries. Not a big deal though!! This is more for the dogs who love their ball and playing fetch a lot :) There were some parts in the back of the property (or behind the chairs) that my dog was scoping out but it was hard for me to keep an eye on him and hard to tell if that specific space is secure/safe so I kept him closer to the front. Nothing preventing me from coming back or recommending it to others :) . I loved the chairs so I got to chill out while he roamed. Plenty of shade too! I’ll definitely be coming back :) my dog is pooped! Shelby Y.

FAQ about our Alamo 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.
