55Fantastic spot! My spaniel had a blast running around exploring all of the interesting surfaces, jumping in the water, running to tell me, sniffing the foliage, jumping in the water, running to tell me over and over (shaking water all over, as dogs do) ... I'd have probably not gotten so wet if I hadn't been enjoying sitting under the pool-side gazebo so much. LOL. Absolute doggie heaven. The hosts are lovely people, the property is beautiful, and the view is wonderful as well. Highly recommend. Debbie E.

55I can’t say enough good things about Alison and her sniffspot! Alison was so great about communicating with me about questions I had. The property is an exceptional sniffspot. My dogs had so much fun in the water and sniffing all over the 2 acres. There is grass and mulch so even though the dogs were in and out of the water and running all over they weren’t muddy and dirty. We can’t wait to go back
For those with reactive or high prey drive dogs:
We saw a horse beyond two fences and a few chickens separated by a couple of 5 ft fences but only 6-10 ft away. Not to discourage you but just so you know what to expect. Tracy M.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot so naturally we were a little nervous. Alison was so amazing and welcoming from the second we pulled in the gate.
We brought our two dogs for a swim and our two year old daughter for a tour of the barn. Both experiences deserve 5+ stars. The pond and property are clean and welcoming. There’s a spot to sit and eat while the dogs go for a swim and a field to throw the ball and explore. It was an enjoyable experience for the whole family.
Having two reactive rescue dogs makes it really hard to enjoy any social outing let alone a dog park. Giving our dogs the opportunity to run free off leash was a priceless experience, we will definitely be back!
Iv already recommended Alison’s to multiple friends. 10 stars Candace L.

55We just returned from our visit at Alison's, it is an ideal place for our 2 yr. old German Sheperd. there is plenty of space for him to run, what I liked is there are neighbors (not too close) our dog needs to be socialized and needs to get used to distractions. The neighbors and chickens did not bother him at all. We met the owners, very nice people. This is our favorite sniffspot place so far, and we will be returning regularly. JackieJacquelen A.

55Alison is a wonderful host: she was super communicative when we booked her SniffSpot, and so welcoming and thoughtful when we arrived. She even offered towels straight from her dryer if I needed them to wipe down my two big Anatolian Shepherds. Simone & Alonzo LOVED chasing each other around the big property, exploring its nooks and crannies, and bounding in and out of the giant pond. For dogs, this place is like 5-star resort. Can't wait to go back!Bret M.

55Nice area and good sized for a running after a ball. Simon wasn't so sure about the water, especially with his nemesis the pineapple chlorine dispenser there, but it is a nice feature with a sandy little beach area. Allison was very nice and even offered towels, although we came prepared. Heather W.

55This is such an amazing spot. We bought a membership. Alison is really kind and helpful. I have two Rottweilers who are very people friendly, but not so animal friendly. They had the most amazing time and have been sleeping since we got home :-) the space is open with lots of good spots for dogs to investigate. it was a whole adventure for my pups. And they really loved the water!Dani B.

55Despite the early time slot and our arriving late, Alison was an extremely gracious, generous, and prepared host. Our pups loved running around the property, seeing horse, chickens, ducks, and water outside of their bathtub for the very first time. We hope to be back!Jean C.

55A friend and I brought our dogs here, and WOW. The place is huge, perfect for dogs who like to really run. There's also a lot of variety for them to explore, not just a boring grass rectangle. And of course the pond--my dog absolutely loved it! (The photos show him wading, but he's a giant breed; I believe the water's deep enough for most dogs to swim in.)
Note--the neighborhood is like something out of James Herriot; we drove past horses, cows, and sheep up close, and also a couple loose (laid-back) dogs. The neighbors in back of the Sniffspot have chickens moseying around, and the neighbor on one side has a Boxer who really wanted to play, and also a horse who came up to the fence to check out our dogs.
Also note--the fence is actually wire mesh supported by t-posts, and I'd estimate 4 or 4.5 feet tall.
The host was friendly and had set out towels and some cute Easter items for the dogs.
We'll definitely be back!Diane M.

FAQ about our Alamo dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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 are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs 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. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
