55My dog, Sweetie, had a great time sniffing around in the trees and playing fetch with the balls that were provided. I loved the little kit with everything you may need, even sunscreen, bug spray and a first aid kit! Really nice touch. The spot was also easy to find and get into, the host provided great detailed instructions on how to find it. Would definitely visit again, thank you! Kelsey G.

55It unfortunately was raining when we went but despite that, there was plenty of covered areas for sitting and not a whole lot of mud. Also a hose to help clean our dogs! Will definitely come back as it was my bird dogs dream park!!!Maria A.

55A nice spot, but the host is correct in that there are definitely gaps under the fence that a dog could squeeze under—and a two lane highway right adjacent. My pup who is 35 pounds squeezed under and thank god did not go in the roadway but came back when I called to him. I think we will pass on coming here regularly for that reason, but this is not the hosts fault. She left treats and water and everything! This is a fantastic spot if you don’t have a curious pup or two who want to go everywhere. Cara C.

55Our large dogs loved it and the whole thing was very secure. Took 3 whole tiny burrs off my Velcro dog. Had to tell them “no” once to leave alone some standing water from lots of rain yesterday.Faye K.

FAQ about our Kerrville 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. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Kerrville area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 22 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 2 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
