What people say about dog parks around Shepherd, Texas

Big clean property with plenty of space for dogs to run around and sniff. Dogs loved the pond and chasing each other around the space.

Awesome spot! My dogs had a great time exploring and swimming in the pond. They also loved watching the goats next door - so if your dog gets very excited by livestock, be aware! (The goats are the neighbors’ and are separated by a double fence quite a ways back from the property but they are visible so just a heads up.) The owners are incredibly nice, helpful and communicative. We aren’t from the area but we’ll be back to this spot next time we’re in town!

My dog really enjoyed visiting, and I would love to bring him again! I was glad I decided to not bring my second dog, who is fearful and noise phobic, though. We were able to hear gunshots in the distance, and there were areas on the property where she would have been hard to get to if she panicked and hid. Two details that might be good for others to know when planning are that the gate is opened/closed remotely, and there is not an "airlock" area that you can personally ensure remains locked. (I experienced no issues with it, just noting.) Also, my dog was able to see chickens and was only separated from them by a screen window. I have worked on his reactivity and hyper-arousal for about two years now, so I am happy to report no chickens were harmed or harassed. But if we had visited a year ago, he probably would have lost his mind and gone straight through the screen and into chicken wonderland. Overall, definitely an enriching and fulfilling visit for him, including his first dip into a pond! We will go again soon.

This is an amazing spot to let your pups explore, especially if they like to swim!!! Such a cute little pond and space for your dogs to get out tons of energy!! The hosts are also super nice and gave a little rundown of the property when we got there!! So much fun!!

Our dogs had the best day ever! They got to run around on 5 acres that was fenced in. We don’t live with a huge backyard and this was great for our fur babies

We loved everything about this place! Our dogs had the best time, and we'll definitely be back in the future.

Awesome, well-maintained outdoor space. My dogs ran around happily for the whole hour—there was so much for them to sniff and explore. Host is super easy going. Can’t wait to go back!

If I could give more than 5 stars to this spot I would. Dynamo had soooo much fun. Clean, securely fences, tons of space for her to run flat out and lots of wooded area for sniffing. She still won’t swim but enjoyed splashing in the shallower sections of the pond! A bit of a drive from Houston but 1000% worth it.

I cannot express how much my Doberman enjoyed his experience here. He’s reactive, and there were no sightings of dogs or people when let off leash as true to description. This property made my mom and I feel like a good “dog parent” for the first time in awhile, since I haven’t let him off leash, or without a muzzle in public, in years. He particularly liked hanging out by the deck, but wouldn’t tread too close to the water. Besides that, the property is GORGEOUS and HUGE, even humans (me) would pay to visit 🤣 Lastly, the host quickly responded to all of my questions, which made me feel so welcomed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Ms. Sherry!

My dog loved it! Plenty of smells for my dog, who is a tracker. There was a place for me to sit if I wanted too. Room for him to run free without being bothered by other dogs or leash restrictions. I will utilize again.

Such a big space. Lots of sniffs in a secured area. The pond was a fun feature. We booked 2 hours and it was money well spent. What a great start for the new year.

This is a great space! Well worth the drive. Huge area for our dog to run and sniff within a well maintained fence. I also really liked their process to go in and out. They have a remote fence that they open and close when you go in and out which is really nice because you know once you are in no one else can come in. We have a reactive dog and this made us feel safe to let our guy roam. Thank you!

It’s always the best place for my dogs. I’m only been at two spots and this is like #1 There’s so much space for them to run.

My daughter and I both have reactive dogs and rely on Sniffspots to give them a chance to stretch their legs. This property is dog (and people) heaven! There’s plenty of room to run, trees to explore and sniff, a pond to swim in, a dock to hang out on. Honestly, it was such a fun, relaxing experience. We did hear dogs barking, but only because our dogs were impolite and ran up on the host’s front porch! The property’s fence was very secure, even for my daughter's 140 lb. Anatolian Shepherd. Communication with the host was excellent! The gate was open when we arrived and closed as soon as we drove in. When we left, the gate opened as soon as we were all settled in the car and closed behind us after we drove out. We were sad to leave and will definitely be back! You won’t be disappointed with this property!

Great time and great experience! There were two dogs that came up to the front of the house but they were friendly and eventually ran off. One of my boys accidentally slipped into the pond but got out with no issues. Overall, a great time!
