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!

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.

2-Acre Fully Fenced Doggie Fun Park In Rural Del Valle

Fully Fenced
2 acres

Welcome to our 2-acre fully fenced doggie fun park in Del Valle! Give you and your pup a safe, exciting, and fun-filled day with TONS of space to run, plenty of new smells and areas to explore, and all of your favorite things to do outdoors! We're located in a beautiful rural area that provides lots of sights, smells, and activities that can be difficult to find in the Austin area. Our property is secured and entirely fenced in, giving your pup the freedom to be a dog while staying safe by your side. The property lines some natural green and wooded areas that make it feel like a grassy field oasis in the middle of natural TX wilderness. It's an excellent location for providing natural canine enrichment, obedience and training opportunities, or just good old-fashioned fun! My name is Christie, and I'm a pet-care professional with over 15 years experience in dog boarding, training, and health care. I fully appreciate and recognize the need for spaces like these for our pups with specific social, environmental, mental, and physical needs. We feel so extremely lucky to provide this space for our own pups, so we want to share all the great times and good vibes with our dog-loving friends and neighbors. We'd love to help you and your pup live your best lives, so please don't hesitate to reach out and ask if you have any specific needs, requests, or questions--we're here for you!

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 swing 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. To be clear, while you rent the dogpark, no other parties will be inside besides the party that reserved the spot.
