55My pups loved it! There is a doggy pool shaped like a bone. They had a blast in the water while we sat in the shade under the tree. Would totally recommend. Lots of room for the fur babies to run around Allison L.

55Great spot. Easy to find. Gated entrance. Seating area was setup with multiple chairs and buckets of dog toys. Pooper scooper available. Our pups loved the bone shaped pup pool that let them cool off. We booked early at 7am to beat the heat and this spot didn't disappoint. Neighbors had dogs on other side of fence but we're friendly and didn't antagonize our pups. There were horses on opposite side of property behind fence...our dogs loved them!. Nice wide open space. Had been recently mowed. Our pups ran and ran and ran! Will come back!!! Maria A.

55Beautiful and well maintained spot, a little out of the way but it’s a beautiful and scenic drive, plus it’s a nice reason to get out of the city. Thank you for letting me bring my pups, hopefully we will come back soon!Saul V.

55Teresa’s property is so nice! Harley and I enjoyed our visit. Harley did some running and barks at the neighbor dogs and horses. It was great to get out and run/walk over a HUGE fenced in area. Thanks for having us!Morgan B.

55This Sniffspot was perfect for my two doggies, they were tired afterwards and slept the rest of the afternoon. It was fenced all around, had water, toys, and privacy. I loved it because even my reactive dog got to run his heart out till he couldn’t stand any longer. Definitely coming back!Danielle R.

55I have a gsp and the amount of free space for her to roam was perfect! Owner set out fresh water for the pups to drink and lay in. As well, had bug spray and comfy chairs for us to lounge in if needed. Will be visiting again!Cassandra R.

55We absolutely loved this sniff spot, one of our favorites so far! My dogs loved playing with the toys and there was so much room to run around. It was great exposure for my reactive dogs seeing other dogs/horses next door. They did so well and were very curious of the horses! We will definitely be back in the future! 😊Alex C.

55We’ve gone to Teresa’s multiple times now and love it! It’s the only Sniffspot we’ve ever used and will continue to use. Our adopted adult blue heeler, Derry, doesn’t like other dogs and lives in an apartment, making it hard for her to run around open spaces. At Teresa’s I know she is safe, she can’t get out, and she has so much space to explore, run and smell!
The neighbors have dogs that are out sometimes. Given the amount of space (and a fence in between) the dogs mostly ignore each other. I actually appreciate the brief times they see each other since it’s a safe way Derry gets to see other dogs.
Derry always leaves happy and tired. We love that it’s a clean space, there’s plenty of water for her to drink and play with, as well as chairs for us to relax in. (There are toys but Derry is much more content with exploring and smelling.) Highly recommend!Heather B.

55Teresa’s property was beautiful our 4 Sheps really enjoyed their time there! They have a backyard of their own but of course not anywhere near this size so they really got to run free and explore! Entrance/exit to the property was simple & of course we appreciated the amenities available to the dogs (pool, toys, etc) we look forward to our next visit! Katie F.

55My new favorite Sniffspot! The spot was easy to find and totally worth the drive from San Antonio. The space was wide open and secure, there was more than enough room for both dogs to run and play fetch. My pups loved the pond, the curious horses and all the toys to play with. The host kindly provided chairs, wet wipes, towels and lots of toys. Thank you for hosting us, we hope to be back soon!Ilona B.

55Beautiful spot with clean cut grass nicely manicured with a cute lil pond and helpful amenities like chairs and towels, a doggy pool, toys and more. So comfortable. The land is flat and easy to walk, so no worries about tripping on bumps or twigs. Teresa is very communicative and hospitable and makes sure you're comfortable. Neighbors have horses which are super cool. Our dog didn't quite know what to make of them, hehe. Top spot!Maureen D.

FAQ about our La Vernia small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in La Vernia?
There are 76 small dog parks in the La Vernia area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
