55Joannie was communicative and able to provide guidance navigating the property while also ensuring my reactive dog didn’t have to meet a new person in the process. We saw neighbors on the other side of the fence at one point, but with so much space it was easy to move away and our stranger danger dog knew none the better. The space is beautiful and we will definitely be back. Caitlyn C.

55I took my four fur babies that are not at all trained and it was safe enough for them to run around and do their own thing and stay safe. So much walking and space to adventure. The hill view is really nice. Definitely will be coming back! Wendy P.

55This place is amazing! It’s an hour’s drive away from me and so worth it. I’ve been several times with my friends. The owner of the property is so friendly and kind, and is constantly making improvements. It’s a really wonderful place to let your dogs roam safely and it’s so big you might never even encounter the fence. Kaitlin P.

55This chunk of Texas ranch land is aptly called “Puppy Paradise”. My two dogs loved running around all the different areas of the property: the dense shaded areas, the open vistas, the rocky paths etc… They explored and ran got to be their free selves.
Beyond that we enjoyed our time talking with Joannie, the host, who went out of their way to show us around and make our trip special. Joannie is a dreamer and has great vision for what they want this place to be and their hope to better the lives of dogs and their community as a whole. Honestly they were a very refreshing person to meet and I wish I was staying longer in Texas to hopefully see this place thrive! Fully fenced, perfect for dogs, easy to find- it’s everything you want in a Sniffspot. Oh- and the sitting area at the top of the hill offers the perfect view of the valley down below! Laura C.

FAQ about our Salado 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.
How can I find dog fields in Salado?
There are 24 dog fields in the Salado area. The most popular dog field is Puppy Paradise in Salado. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
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.
