Hazards

HOST NOTE

As with any country destinations in Texas, potential hazards include fire ants, sand/grass burrs, nettle, thistle, snakes, scorpions, etc. My property is well-maintained, which helps minimize the risks…but it is impossible to guaranty that you will not encounter a hazard. If you have any issues, I am usually up at my house - don’t hesitate to reach out to me (or even come up personally in case of an emergency). Thankfully, we have had no SniffSpot incidents/emergencies - hopefully we can keep it that way! :) SUMMERTIME HAZARDS IN TEXAS: Hopefully, everyone is aware of the dangers that rise with the rising temperatures. Obviously, there are heat exposure risks. However, there are also water body risks. Although we think of ponds, lakes & streams as a cooling treat for our dogs, they can also be potentially harmful (especially with drought conditions & high temperatures). FYI: You may have heard of blue-green algae being found in various bodies of water across the country. This can be deadly. Although many try, it is impossible to determine if it is harmful Cyanobacteria (a/k/a blue-green algae) without properly testing it. We have no current issue but when there are drought conditions and water levels are low and temperatures are high, stuff like this is always a possibility. Lady Bird Lake in Travis County is just one of many Texas bodies of water with it at various times. As summer continues, algal blooms are always a risk in water bodies across the state & southern US. This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water Stay safe out there!

Aaron's 12 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Elgin

Fully Fenced

12 acres

Varied land, pastures, forest, water - our dog loved it for many years, now she’s gone and it’s time to share. There are a few sections. We recommend you drive all the way down the driveway for the best access to the large pond and trails through the woods. Off the driveway there are trails through the ravines, and up on the front is some nice pasture to explore. Fully fenced and safe! Come enjoy the sights and smells. I am also a student and teacher of human design, profiles for you or a loved one are available for $20 extra; if you’d like one, let me know at time of booking :)

$5 off 1st time guests= discount code Benard Fresh grass cut June 25th Summer best times Before noon After 6:30pm My place is cooler, quieter and has a breeze in the evenings. It's nestled in the Colored District of Pflugerville. There's a Hispanic and African American cemetery you will pass to enter the property. The field's trees are along the edges so you can see your dog almost across the whole property. There's a 2 car carport and house on the property. Also there are a few trails the animals use along the fence which are seen when the grass gets higher. There is a firepit, parkours and the main attraction is the huge field. Dog walkers, reactive dogs and/or doggie dates are perfect for the spot. The smells, the sniffs and occasional chase of small animals will keep the dogs attention all in a safe controlled environment. I try to keep debris off the spot. I'm always fixing the fence. My main focus for the visitors is please pick up after your dog. There's plenty of bags and a huge green trashcan to put it in. I just added a swing which I'd next to some trees so yall can relax in the shade and not in the grass. There's a green trash can where the doggie poo goes. Attached to that are the poo bags in a clear plastic bag. Next to the green trash can is a rusty metal chair. In that chair are toys, tennis balls, doggie bowls and more. The water hose is on top of a 55 gallon Grey tank, which is close to the house. This tank is less than 8 feet away from the proper gate facing north, which is next to the outdoor water source. Now offering 30 minute time slots because of the heat. RVers are welcome. To be clear, while you rent the dogpark, no other parties will be inside besides the party that reserved the spot.
