55Jonnie is a wonderful host and so knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the area as well as about dogs. The site is undeveloped, with lots of trees, various trails, and slightly sloping, which means it's well-drained after a rain. Every fence I saw was secure, but honestly, the place is so large that one could wander around a good while without ever encountering a fence! We will definitely be going back.Michelle B.

55Had a great time! Really enjoyed the varied inclines and small hills-great for building muscles and confidence in new landscapes for my young dog. Small hiccup with our first visit but hosts were communicative and apologetic. We will definitely be back and look forward to exploring more! Lindsay H.

55Really nice place for your dogs to explore and lots of great trails to just enjoy the outdoors. Up top of the hill is a beautiful view and a great spot to throw a ball as your dogs walk run up and down that hill to get the ball and bring it back. It exhausted my 6 large breed dogs. It is in fact fully fenced in and their dogs are so cute. They are kept in a fenced in area to themselves by the front gate and homes. Super easy to stay far enough that there's no visibility or sound from any direction. Owners are super cool and nice! Really liked them too. We will be back 🤗Mandy E.

55I took my mother with me, along with my two dogs. My mom tags along when my husband is away from work.
Let me say that the hills always make me break a sweat because I'm so out of shape. But my mom loved it! She was so fascinated by all the local flowers and plants that the long hike didn't faze her. We saw lots of butterflies taking advantage of the many flowers, I love that the host continues to allow the local wildlife to blossom and takes it upon themselves to not only create safe walking areas but also preserves the local aesthetic.
The dogs get so tired, they sleep the whole way home and plop on the bed as soon as they get inside the house. As soon as I dropped my mom off, the pups and I took a good long nap. We can't wait to go back again! 10/10 recommended for pups and their humans!Yasiry A.

55We had a great time hiking up and down the hillsides and trails with our pup Apollo, he enjoyed his walk as well. Once we get familiar with the property, we'll give him the opportunity to run freely since the property is safe and fenced. The Views are beautiful as well. CinaandAlex M.

55Another perfect romp for my dogs and I at Puppy Paradise. 🖤 The dogs got a solid workout with the hill and then we had an easy stroll through Indigo Forest along the east fence line. Super well shaded and will be perfect as the weather warms up. We’ll be back!Angie L.

FAQ about our Salado 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.
