55This place is PERFECT. We took our 1 year old Doberman here to celebrate her bday and she was exhausted before the time was up! She chased balls till she couldn’t anymore. At first I was worried about not having her recall down, but the fenced in area is definitely secure and you can see the whole area basically! Lauren greeted us and gave us the run down and was very accommodating and welcoming. Lucky for us we live close by and will definitely be returning!!!!
55Rocket had a blast and wore himself out.
55My Caviler and I had such a memorable time!!! He sniffed EVERYTHING! Met the goats! We were able to cool down under the shade and misters! It was his very 1st birthday and Lauren made it absolutely memorable! We will definitely be back!
55Always enjoy our time here!
55Our boys had a great time running and sniffing!
55Our dogs had a great time!
55Austin just keeps impressing me with their sniff spots! Laurens place is great! There is so much space to run and play! My guys particularly enjoyed the pond. My younger puppy also had a blast with the sprinkler. Lauren was such a welcoming host and even let me watch the running of the goats which was amazing to see! I will certainly be back!
55We had a great time! Lauren was so friendly and we had the chance to let Kelsier meet some super calm goats. The whole property is secure and a great spot for sniffs.
55my dog had the best time! Lauren was so sweet and patient! I will 100% be back and bring friends! :)
55What a gem this Sniff Spot is! Lauren was wonderful and so welcoming! My pup enjoyed sniffing, rolling around on the grass and the pond! This is my first Sniff Spot experience - so glad it was Lauren’s beautiful space! The area is well fenced and very clean! We will definitely be coming back!

Our place is a beautiful animal-oriented property. It is technically a working ranch with cows, sheep, goats, chickens and horses (many cross fenced areas so livestock can be separated from dogs or not). Ideally suited for doggie fun, we have a combination of open space and "wooded" areas and there's a great pond for dogs to cool off and play. We have plans to add agility obstacles in the near future. For a great overnight getaway, we also have a guest house that can be rented. Best of all, we are located 30 minutes from Austin and San Marcos.
