August 2023

My Harvey loved it! Very clean, easy to locate, minimal to no noise. My boy is reactive and not a single trigger.

Tess B.

September 2023

This was my dog’s favorite sniffspot yet! It is nice and secluded with a lot of land for adventure.

Aaron R.

September 2023

My three dogs had a blast. The Schott Ranch has many great places on the property for them to explore and wear themselves out. They have a lot of amenities, including a comfortable shaded area to sit and easy access to water with a kiddie pool.

Hannah N.

September 2023

My dog Blue loved it! He really enjoyed exploring and sniffing around. It’s right off a 4-lane highway so there’s some traffic noise and cars visible, but overall not too much of an issue for my boy who is reactive to cars.

Katie H.

September 2023

Can’t wait to take our dogs here again! They love the pool and toys and the owner provided. A very well kept property!

Kimberly B.

September 2023

Our dogs had such a great time! Nice, clean property with a good amount of toys for them to play with. They have a water hose on site which is super convenient. One of our dogs is really reactive but had ZERO triggers out here. We definitely plan on being back here!

Carah P.

September 2023

The spot was very clean and our boys loved it. There is everything you could need. Our puppy really loved the toy hanging from the tree. Overall, it is a great spot and we will be sure to come back.

Chloe M.

September 2023

Such a cute area! A great spot for dogs that need to get their wiggles out. My pups had so much fun running through the wooded area and getting their paws wet in the provided pool. We will definitely be coming back.

Alexis D.

September 2023

Our dogs LOVED exploring this new spot. There’s plenty of room to roam, chase balls, sniff independently, etc. They have a water spicket on site which is really convenient. There’s a shaded spot for pawrents to sit away from the sun while the dogs do there own thing. We also had a nice time walking the property with our pups to explore. Was a little nervous at how close it was to Bandera (a busy road) but there’s a fence lining the whole property & once I was there, I was at ease that my dogs wouldn’t end up on the road. Highly recommend!

September 2023

This is our favorite sniffspot in the area. We love how remote it is and the perfect sized lot. Fence is fully fenced but if you have an escape artist smaller dog they could potentially get out under the entrance gate but we've never had a problem even when we did bring my mom's small dog. They are improving the area with new trails, pool and tree tugger toy. 15/10 would recommend

Victoria P.

September 2023

Nice little spot with lots of shade. Beware of cacti and some rough terrain but my dogs had a ball. Host has a very nice setup with box of toys, kid pool and water access, and a trashcan to throw away any waste.

Emmy J.

Cute and quiet little spot, out of the way in the hill country. Plenty of space and shade. There are some toys and access to water and a doggie pool. For the humans there is sunscreen and bug spray. I'll be going back!!

FAQ about our Bandera 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.

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.
