This is a gorgeous, quiet spot. Plenty of room for the dogs to roam, a comfortable spot to sit for the humans. It is 100% secure. We forgot to bring bags for clean up and Samantha kindly provided some. We won’t forget next time!! We enjoyed the quiet and are definitely coming back for more. I didn’t take pictures of the yard as it’s someone’s home.

Samantha was very welcoming and considerate. She has a .5 acre fully fenced backyard with an additional 1+ acre partially fenced rough area ideal for dogs with good recall

So big and so fun!!! Great spot for the pups to sniff around. Very friendly hosts; I appreciate meeting them at the start, and they were very considerate, letting me know I could stay longer if needed because no one was scheduled behind me, letting me know where the lights were, etc.

Had a great time at this location with my two fur babies! The pool was amazing and the property is huge so plenty of space for them to run and let loose. Will definitely be coming back!

This was my first time using SniffSpot and it was a fantastic experience! This location was just perfect for Buster. He got to run and play. It was nice and big (we went to Field 1) and lots for him to sniff and explore. Buster is able to hop fences so I was very relieved the perimeter fence here was high enough and secure so I didn’t have to worry about Buster getting out. All around great experience!

We had a great time! The road was closed on the way there, and we ended up being late, and Michelle was super sweet about it. The fields are lovely and my boys had a fabulous time running around and exploring everything. 10/10 this was an excellent SniffSpot!

My pups and I loved this place!! They were having such a blast running around and playing with each other. Jonathan and Michelle were extremely nice and very welcoming. The place was clean and just as beautiful and big as in the picture! I will definitely be coming back with my pack of babies 💞

Beautiful large field that’s great for fetch. We went to field 3, because my dog can be anxious. The host said we could use any of the 3 large fields. Wow. By the time we left my dog was completely exhausted. We will definitely be back.
They had a bench in the field for the doggie parents, and a water bowl. I think there was also a hose, but we didn’t use it. It was only around 28 min from Memorial area, which is pretty awesome.
I would recommend bug spray.
For people with anxious dogs, there were a few adorable cats when we first pulled up.
Also, you can hear dogs in fields 1 and 2 as you walk past to field 3. My dog is anxious, but as long as I know what to expect, there’s usually not an issue. Great experience overall.

My reactive/dog aggressive dog had a great time on field 3! Host was very accommodating and made sure all other dogs on the property were put up so my girl could enjoy her time there!

This was a Sniffspot favorite for us. The place is huge and clean, with multiple fields for you to choose from. It’s a working dog ranch owned by a friendly family that LOVES dogs and creating safe and fun environments for them to thrive in. They were also incredibly gracious, I arrived late and my pups were still able to play for an hour. Highly recommend this spot and will definitely be back!

Cute spot! There is a dog in the next yard that likes to come say hi but not aggressive through the fence.

Great yard. Has a large tree that would probably be good for shade if sunny. We parked in the street, and there is a side entrance gate, but it’s behind a few trees, so you might not see it at first. I love how close it is to us. It’s about 10-15 min from galleria area. So a lot closer than most 😊

Lovely space for playing ball and hanging out in the shade! There is a friendly dog that can be seen from house next door but I didn’t have any problems.
Convenient side gate entrance. My dogs enjoyed it and I will visit again.

My first time using Sniffspot and will definitely be using again! My dogs birthday was on a weekday so we needed somewhere for the family to meet up after work/school to sing happy birthday and cut his cake. This place was very clean- my dog loves swimming so I mainly cared about the pool but our other dog absolutely enjoyed all of the toys that were available and the green space to play fetch!! They both swam and my family all had a pleasant visit with plenty of space for us to sit and hang out with the pups. I emailed the host with any questions prior to booking and he was super nice! Wish I had more pictures of our time there but my phone was on 3%
What other types of private dog parks are available?
Dog water parks
Many hosts have added water features like pools and/or are nearby lakes or rivers.
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 park users so you can find the perfect safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Since indoor dog parks are completely enclosed, this adds another level of safety for your pup.
How do I know if an indoor dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, indoor dog parks are a good choice due to their fully enclosed nature. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our indoor dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
No. We only allow one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits. So when you book a Sniffspot park you have the entire place to yourself and your dog-owning friends if you invite them. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings so you will not run into other park patrons when coming or leaving.
Can I have an event or party at an indoor dog park?
If you are planning an amazing indoor dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties 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. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
