55This place has gotten so much better than the last time I visited, which was already hard to do. This time there was a map of the property, everything was rearranged, a kiddie pool was filled, and there's a new option to take polaroids!!! Forever my fave spotDean S.

55This is such a neat, tranquil, well shaded space--it was a delight to spend some time roaming and exploring with my pup early on a summer morning before it got too hot. I love all of the decor and relaxing sounds of nature. Thanks to the host for sharing their space with us!Brittany B.

55Great spot to let your dog run free. It's easy to spend an hour or more. There are plenty of things to see and several activities. Definitely recommend! Earl C.

55This sniffspot was perfect! I didn’t take any balls but there were some provided, and the dogs thoroughly enjoyed them. The host also has other toys, water, poop bags, and first aid kit made available. My dog has the best time swimming and running around! I will be returning!! Esther S.

55Great location to just let dogs be dogs. My dogs of course went right in the water once they found it. So if you have dogs you like to jump in the lake it’s awesome. Veronica V.

55Great spot! Something to keep in mind is this spot has “old Spiderhouse” vibes aka lots of fun collectibles in little patches around the space so if you’re bringing your dog on a long line, you might get them out to the main clearing and then swap over to your long line. My boy had lots of fun frolicking around.Hannah S.

55My pups really enjoyed this space and exploring - they got the zoomies and were exhausted by the end! My only regret is not purchasing the pool as one of my pups was a bit nervous to get into the river 😂 We definitely will be back! Emily J.

55HUGE yard!! This was the perfect place to let my pups run around while also staying cool. Lots of open space to run and the trees provided the perfect shade to allow them to cool down. Super easy to drive to. The host had toys and mosquito spray available. If I could rate this more than 5 stars, I would!!Alba S.

55Our dogs had a blast! Tons of room to run around but they were most excited to hang out in the water. I didn’t see a fence on one side of the property so we did need to practice our recall, which all dogs did great with. We’d love to bring our dogs back here again soon! Alayna D.

55This land is great!! Our senior dogs had an amazing time exploring, swimming, and playing fetch in the abundance of shade!
The host was very kind! When we arrived we parked at the entrance and walked down the hill closer to the host home. There was bug spray, dog bags, and toys.
I have AT&T and had no service while there which was a nice little treat. This spot was our first experience and has set the bar high!!cynthia s.

55This was our first booking with SniffSpot and Alyssa really set the bar! She was a great communicator from the beginning and her property was spacious and beautiful. Our dogs had a great time and loved having the option to swim in the river or run in the open space. We will definitely rebook in the future! Gabbie C.

55It’s listed as being partially fenced which is technically true but it’s so spacious that isn’t an issue being that it’s only the driveway. Trees provide shade and river access provides smells my city dogs could only dream of. Ysidro Y.

FAQ about our Austin dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
