South Austin hidden gem - large and shaded fenced yard w/ greenbelt views | Sniffspot
55I am so excited we have another Sniffspot in South Austin, and this place has IT ALL! Very large running area, so many places to SNIFF! Tons of toys, fresh water, beautiful shaded tree areas with many lounges, chairs and rockers. My very reactive dog had the time of her life! Even a bottle of water and a cute welcome note from Michele who was very responsive to all my questions. She did an amazing job welcoming us, and we didn’t hear or react to her dog who was in the home. Highly recommend! Beautiful, peaceful spot! I may have enjoyed it more than my dog! Can’t wait to go back! Thank you Michele.Carol M.

55We LOVED our time here! The pictures really don't do it justice. So many things for my dog to sniff and explore. She especially liked the bucket of tennis balls and the frisbee!
The host Michele is so thoughtful, too. She left us a welcome note and a bottle of water for me (for which I was incredibly grateful!). Erin B.

55Great spot for the dogs to run! All metal fencing helps to prevent seeing other dogs. The fence was a little difficult to open but seems they all are this time of year.Cindy F.

55Jo’s yard was absolutely perfect! The fences are high and fully obfuscated so there’s no outside distractions. The toys provided were great and there’s tons of room for the dogs to run around. We’ll definitely be back!!Lina M.

55Loved this!! Will definitely be back. It’s plenty of space to sniff and run around. We had a doggie playdate and the dogs sprinted around and played for an hour. The fences are tall and secure, and the dogs can’t see through them which is a huge plus!Abby S.

55Jo had a lovely backyard! Super spacious and lots of space for my dog to run around! My dog is pretty anxious and has issues with reactivity so it was nice to have ample space for him to roam freely! There also wasn’t too much outside noise or anything that would trigger his anxiety. Overall 10/10 plus Jo is a super lovely host! :) Lizeth T.

55This is definitely one of the boys new favorite spots. Jo communicated very well prior to the visit. She has thought of everything that you might need while you're at her place. There were plenty of toys, water, and bags, etc. The yard is a great size for my two younger ones to run at full speed and get out a lot of energy, while my senior took his time exploring and sniffing the whole area. A great time was had by all and we will definitely be back. Marc S.

FAQ about our Spicewood 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.
