55We have a yard for them to play in at home, but sometimes you need a little enrichment for those noses and this was everything my dogs needed! They enjoyed sniffing around and playing in a new dog safe area. Sarah was very kind and provided chairs and water for our dogs upon request. We will definitely be back in the future! ☺️Kayla S.

55Lovely spot for dogs to sniff, play, and just relax! I came with my own dog but also wanted to check out the space on behalf of my dog training clients. There is plenty of space for playing fetch, sniffing around, and the host has many spaces for you to sit down if needed. We will be back and I'll be recommending this spot to my clients!Lisa C.

FAQ about our Waco 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 Waco 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 38 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 4 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.
