55My dog is very reactive so we did have an issue with the neighbors dog and unfortunately my dog broke a fence post. The host was incredibly understanding and accommodating. There were toys, treats, and human food out. They even had supplies like bags/bug spray/ gum. If I could leave a tip I would. The yard was amazing and the host was so kind. They even invited us back after my dogs horrible behavior. If you have a reactive dog just be prepared for the neighbors dogs, they are horribly aggressive, but other than that it was AMAZING.

55Our 3 dogs loved it! She was so sweet to put out clean cold water for them as well as towels, bug spray, and treats. Our dogs bark at anyone/anything but there was nothing that set them off. Great experience. daniela k.

55My dogs had a blast. They can hear dogs at properties next door but can’t get to them through fence which is nice and high and not jumpable. My Akita girl loved the orange tube obstacle Sarah and Tris C.

55Melissa’s spot is fantastic. It’s super clean and has everything you need for your dog to have a good time and for the humans to relax. I love that it’s closer to downtown for those of us with reactive dogs that live in downtown apartments. I will definitely bring my dog back regularly!Samantha P.

55Picture this: a quiet little yard on the corner of mission and Yellowstone. You walk in the wood gate and see a historical site in Ryan’s yard and you wonder, how did he acquire this gem?! Your dog has two acres to run around, sniff, and explore. You panic because you forgot bug spray (this is my warning to you all), but nonetheless you keep walking around because your normally suspicious and anxious dog is having a great time exploring off leash. You read the plaques (did i spell that right?) on the historical structures, your dog pees on bushes, and for an hour, you have 2 acres of history to yourself.
Bottom line: this is a great place, and i love that it’s close to home. Ryan was super responsive and kind with my anxiety about possibly being in the wrong place. My dog is starting scent work classes soon, and we’ll definitely come back here to practice that as there are plenty of great places to hide nose work kits and let your dog find them. Kenzie M.

FAQ about our San Antonio 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.
Are 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 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the San Antonio area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 175 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 14 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
