55I’ve reviewed before but I will again, I love this Sniffspot. So much for the dogs to explore and water to play in. Make sure your dog has decent recall. The fence is down in some places and it’s just very vast for a dog who you can’t reliably get back to you. Love love love it!Samantha C.

55Lots of different environments to explore! Water, trails, old structures…. It was a bit tricky for me to find, but Kevin was responsive and helpful when I reached out. My dogs had a wonderful time. Our favorite Sniffspot so far!Jessica T.

55Really cool spot- didn’t find it hard to find like others mentioned. Lots of dirt roads to walk and explore, easy water access. My dog had a blast! Lots of rocks by the water so watch your pup’s paws if they aren’t used to the terrain - we got a few scratches but nothing bad. Also be aware that the lake itself it public so you will likely see other people around the shore but they didn’t get too close and my dog was having too much fun to care. Dina C.

55Easy to find, lots of space to walk and let dogs swim. Was great to get our line of retrievers out on big water for distance work. Only thing I will say is be careful of fishing line near shore and in the flooded timber. Jason N.

55Having this place for Dog to run is only thing keeping him from climbing in the next truck heading east and going back to the forest. I'm very grateful this place is available jami G.

55I’ve been eyeing this sniff spot for months and finally got the chance to try it. 10/10 recommend - very much worth the trip from San Antonio. If you are considering it, just go ahead and book it! You won’t regret it. We only spent 1.5 hours there but easily could have spent 3 or more. Very easy to find, and so much space for my 3 dogs to run. My dogs didn’t want to leave. We already can’t wait to go back! Lauren S.

55Another beautiful visit this year! I brought all 4 of my pups who had a blast swimming and exploring! The lake was quite busy today as it was a beautiful Saturday so take that into consideration when booking. They tend to make a lot of waves if you're getting in the water with your pup!Bailey D.

55We had a great time at this spot, considering how hot of a day it was! I brought shade and a swimsuit though, so it was nice. Waylon thoroughly enjoyed the hike around the peninsula and swimming in the water. The only caution I can give is to be mindful of your dogs paws. The shoreline is pretty rough so it might be an issue with some dogs if they're not used to it. We had no problems with it though, and will very likely visit again.Patrick H.

55Awesome place. Tons of room to run around. I would definitely bring some good shoes for both you and your dog though. Glad i read the reviews first bc they weren't kidding about the shells and sticks and rocks being rough on the shore. Glad I brought shoes because my pup was having an absolute blast and i didn't need to worry much about his feet with shoes on. Also - if your dog likes sticks... good luck. Mine LOVES sticks and was going absolutely crazy bc there were sticks and branches EVERYWHERE.Sydney D.

FAQ about our Canyon Lake 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.
How can I find dog fields in Canyon Lake?
There are 18 dog fields in the Canyon Lake area. The most popular dog field is BIG open space next to the lake.. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
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.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Canyon Lake area range from $10.0 and $10.0. The least expensive dog field is BIG open space next to the lake.. The most expensive dog field is BIG open space next to the lake.. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
