55Such a wonderful space for the dogs! They loved every minute of it. Felt so great to see them running around without the fear of running into other dogs (one of mine are really reactive). Great place for training as well!Cassandra H.

55Our dogs had so much fun! There are dogs there, but they can be contained if you have a reactive dog. Tons of space so you don't even know they are there once you drive past them!Hillary S.

55So much room for my pups to run around and explore. They were tired out before the full hour was even up. Definitely wearing your walking shoes as it can be a nice hike for the humans too! Shelby W.

55We had a lot of fun with our dog on the property! We do have a reactive dog but we was able to run free off leash and have a blast. The property has some beautiful views as well! Anna W.

55I visited Jonnies’ dog paradise this morning, and Sadie and I had a great time. Jonnie was there to meet us for our first visit and made us feel welcome. I booked a 1 and 1/2 hour time slot. It’s a good workout with hills, rugged terrain, and beautiful lookouts.Grady N.

55Jonnie was such a great host! We enjoyed our time at Puppy Paradise with our dogs. Perfect spot for off leash training with lots of areas for dogs to sniff! There’s also a flat area to play frisbee! We’ll definitely return and bring more dog friends!!Irish M.

55Jonnie’s place is great and we already can’t wait to come back! Made us feel welcome and then left us to explore. So fun to let Chopper go off leash and he loved every minute of it! I’m pretty sure this was the best day of his life so far 💕🐕Dina C.

55Jonnie was amazing and the space was wonderful. We are so thankful for Jonnie giving our pup Birdie, a space to explore off leash safely for the very first time. We got the opportunity to practice recall with her in a safe environment in case we ever need to recall her in a real emergency. Birdie also enjoyed the freedom to explore at her own pace and sniff everything. She was so tired after- we will for sure be coming back again!Emma P.

55The whole experience was a breeze! My pups had a blast and we were able to work on recall with only nature as a distraction! 10/10 would recommend! Alondra R.

55This is probably the best sniffspot we’ve been to in Texas!! The host genuinely understood my dog’s fear of other dogs and how to secure the property. My dogs had the best time!! It was so great to just let them wander and sniff without any worry about other dogs and knowing the fence was secure enough. We kept the chi mix on leash as he isn’t used to being off leash in such a big area. But our girl girl did great!! I think the host’s neighbor’s dogs where out and my big girl did key in on it but she didn’t go crazy and my husband said the fence was secure in that area. She did get stuck with some needles from a cactus but that’s because she isn’t the most clever and not at all the host’s fault. Just something to keep in mind. My dog is totally fine and we pulled out the little needles when we got home. She wasn’t bothered at all. The host kept his dogs inside the whole time and we never even heard or saw them until they heard us leaving in the car. We will definitely be back!!Danielle S.

FAQ about our Salado 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 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.

Can I have an event or party at a small dog park?
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.
