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.

55Our pups (and us!) loved Puppy Paradise. My very anxious little one relaxed the fastest I’ve ever seen him calm down. They explored safely the entire time and we were able to enjoy a beautiful hike without leash-pulling! Highly recommend!Rebecca B.

55Have been looking for a spot to take my older doggies where they could roam around unleashed. Well, I found it. Puppy Paradise is just perfect. Completely fenced, water available for them. No worry of other dogs. Just roam around on the different trails & enjoy! We will be back. Sherri B.

FAQ about our Salado 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?
