my dogs are contained and about 1/4 mile away up at my house. they should remain in either in my home, in my kennel runs or in my fenced play yards. if you has special concerns, feel free to reach out to me to let me know :). When you book, you get private access to the field…none of my dogs will be an issue as they will be kept up and secure near my home. The only time my dogs would be out is if you book an “extra” play date in order to get structured safe socialization for your dog(s) in a controlled setting. Please note, I feed dogs around 8am and 3pm…and during these times, the dogs are very excited and sometimes noisy. If you think you dog may have an issue with barking in the distance, you may want to avoid booking during these times.

cattle/horse possibly in view in the distance on neighboring properties down the road (multiple rows of fencing in between). Should never be an issue as they are not close.

very rural. i try to keep my distance from any sniffspot visitors to give them space and privacy. however, depending on timing (if you do not provide adequate notice), i may be out mowing or training, etc. in a different part of the property. i try my best to time it so that i’m up at the house during a sniffspot visit. If you look up the hill, you may see me off at a distance (over 100yards away) on top of the hill by the house depending on what I’m doing.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

As with any country destinations in Texas, potential hazards include fire ants, sand/grass burrs, nettle, thistle, snakes, scorpions, etc. My property is well-maintained, which helps minimize the risks…but it is impossible to guaranty that you will not encounter a hazard. If you have any issues, I am usually up at my house - don’t hesitate to reach out to me (or even come up personally in case of an emergency). Thankfully, we have had no SniffSpot incidents/emergencies - hopefully we can keep it that way! :) SUMMERTIME HAZARDS IN TEXAS: Hopefully, everyone is aware of the dangers that rise with the rising temperatures. Obviously, there are heat exposure risks. However, there are also water body risks. Although we think of ponds, lakes & streams as a cooling treat for our dogs, they can also be potentially harmful (especially with drought conditions & high temperatures). FYI: You may have heard of blue-green algae being found in various bodies of water across the country. This can be deadly. Although many try, it is impossible to determine if it is harmful Cyanobacteria (a/k/a blue-green algae) without properly testing it. We have no current issue but when there are drought conditions and water levels are low and temperatures are high, stuff like this is always a possibility. Lady Bird Lake in Travis County is just one of many Texas bodies of water with it at various times. As summer continues, algal blooms are always a risk in water bodies across the state & southern US. This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water Stay safe out there!

Aaron's 12 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Elgin

Fully Fenced
12 acres

Varied land, pastures, forest, water - our dog loved it for many years, now she’s gone and it’s time to share. There are a few sections. We recommend you drive all the way down the driveway for the best access to the large pond and trails through the woods. Off the driveway there are trails through the ravines, and up on the front is some nice pasture to explore. Fully fenced and safe! Come enjoy the sights and smells.

It is a doggy paradise. Just ask out 2 border collies and their friends. We have 5 acres with multiple fenced areas. Currently when you book you get the fully fenced front acreage. There is also a large pond for the water loving dogs but it is not fully secure. (POND IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE FOR PLAY DUE TO DROUGHT) We do also have horses, chickens and cats so we do ask that your pup be a good neighbor and not chase anyone but their own balls, frisbees or other toys.

B's "Birds & Bees" Private Dogpark

Fully Fenced
1 acre

It's nestled in the Colored District of Pflugerville. There's a Hispanic and African American cemetery you will pass to enter the property. The field's trees are along the edges so you can see your dog almost across the whole property. There's a 2 car carport and house on the property. Also there are a few trails the animals use along the fence which are seen when the grass gets higher. There is a firepit, parkours and the main attraction is the huge field. Dog walkers, reactive dogs and/or doggie dates are perfect for the spot. The smells, the sniffs and occasional chase of small animals will keep the dogs attention all in a safe controlled environment. I try to keep debris off the spot. I'm always fixing the fence. My main focus for the visitors is please pick up after your dog. There's plenty of bags and a huge green trashcan to put it in. I just added a swung which I'd next to some trees so yall can relax in the shade and not in the grass. There's a green trash can where the doggie poo goes. Attached to that are the poo bags in a clear plastic bag. Next to the green trash can is a rusty metal chair. In that chair are toys, tennis balls, doggie bowls and more. The water hose is on top of a 55 gallon Grey tank, which is close to the house. This tank is less than 8 feet away from the proper gate facing north, which is next to the outdoor water source. Now offering 30 minute time slots because of the heat. RVers are welcome.

Welcome to our shady spot in the woods. We have a forested quarter acre fenced-in yard for your doggie(s). It's a relaxing spot for both dogs and humans. Perfect for those hot summer days when you need some shade. We only have neighbors on one side and they don't have dogs, so the yard is great for reactive dogs. Seating, water, balls, and poop bags are all provided.

Lanahan's Lounge for Pups & Parents

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Large backyard and screened in porch which backs to the Wells Branch trail available for you and your pups to enjoy. Conveniently located between Katherine Fleischer Park and Mills Pond. Taking a walk with your dog and you're done but they still need some time for zoomies? Hop on over and take a weight off while your dog runs free! The yard is fully fenced, with a latch on the gate to keep your pups secure. There is a screened in back porch with lights, a fan (just use the pull chain to turn on) and plenty of seating. There's even a hammock on the porch and some lounge chairs in the yard! Feel free to move the chairs around as needed. We will have the kiddie pool filled up some prior to your visit. There are towels on the back porch if needed. You can take it easy while your pups play, or take a rest after playing together. 🥰 There is also a waste bin, pooper scooper and bags for you on the back porch. You and your pup may encounter a bunny from time to time but they are pretty good and fast at getting out quickly (they're used to running from our cats). Please do not let dogs dig in the beds around the house and at the fence. The area fenced off next to the house is where grow our veggies and native plants are along the fence line to deter mosquitoes. Feel free to try some of what we are growing! Please enjoy our space!
