55Absolutely beautiful private backyard on a lakefront property! Very easy to find and enter, with a secure latch and fencing, was never worried about my dogs escaping. There are lots of things for even timid dogs to sniff and explore. Both of my dogs loved wandering around and dipping their paws in the lake. There is a lovely welcome area with doggy bags, toys, a doggy first aid kit, and plenty of other things, and I thought was incredibly nice! Plenty of seating and shady areas for hot days. It had been raining a lot when I came so as you can see in the photos it was a little flooded, BUT they kindly let me know ahead of time and offered me a refund! It was no problem for my muddy dogs though, but it was very nice to know before. They also have a hose to spray off any mud before climbing back into the car too! Loved it and will absolutely be back!!!Quinten L.

55My dogs loved the spot! It was perfect for both my high-energy dog to run and my older dog to explore and wade in the water. Everything was better than described and we had a great time! Lorraine H.

55They have thought of everything, secure fence even for smaller medium dogs, multiple poop bag/stations, multiple fresh water bowls, hose off station right at the exit, tons of room for REAL zoomies, plenty of nooks and crannies for sniffs, and a lakeview for dogs and humans to enjoy. Even doggy safety/CPR signs. Sharon M.

55Dogs had a blast exploring the yard. Fresh water, toys, poop bags, and a hose to cool off was all available. Plenty of trees and umbrella for shade and grass space to run around. Mikenze M.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and I truly can’t believe how amazing of an idea this is! The hosts are so incredibly generous to open their home to us and at such an affordable price too.
Our puppy LOVES to swim but we unfortunately live in downtown Dallas so this was such a great way to get her out to explore. We felt very safe and the area felt super private as well.
We had an amazing time and there were so many sweet touches included like poop bags, toys, water bowls, etc. There was also plenty of seating in the shade for the humans. We also appreciated the use of the hose to rinse our pup off since she loves rolling in mud 😂
We will 100% be back, so worth the drive from Dallas! Thank you again to the hosts!Jessie G.

55We are visiting Dallas for a dog show. We have four GSPs and a Dalmatian that needed to run off steam. This place was just the best remedy for their restlessness. They ran in the yard and swam in the water. We should have tired dogs for tonight’s hotel stay. Bonus: The washing station! Loved being able to clean them up before putting them in the van!Cassandra A.

55This was our first time trying SniffSpot with our two hound doggies and it was absolutely perfect! Our dogs were able to walk into the water (they’re nervous about jumping in) and they had the best time! The property owner was very communicative and had everything you could need for a great day with your dogs— toys, water bowls, a hose to wash them off, etc. will absolutely be back!Brooke M.

55This spot was amazing! Safe, enclosed, and came stocked with everything your dog could need. The water is easily accessible and offers a good swimming spot if your dog likes that. There is more than enough room to run around and wear out your dog. She offers a hose as well to clean your dog off before leaving! Sydney S.

FAQ about our Lake Dallas 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Lake Dallas 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 296 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 34 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
