55Great yard for my retired racing greyhounds to run in. Checked the fence before I let my girls lose. Nice sturdy secure fencing. My girls really opened up and ran like greyhounds can. They swam in the pond, sniffed the horse poop etc. Wonderful yard for reactive dogs, dogs training for barn hunt, for lure coursing etc. We will definitely be booking Rural Yard again.Janis B.

55My 2 ran like they've never run before. I thought the older one would just follow me around, but he ran full out so joyfully I got tears in my eyes. It's rural, it's a pasture, so much to sniff and explore, it was heaven for us. Carol was an excellent host.Linda H.

55We LOVE coming here! This was our second visit and we will definitely continue to come back. We have 2 dogs and one of them is dog aggressive who has unfortunately been attacked twice by stray dogs on walks so it is always stressful to take her anywhere. This place is completely fenced in and the owner has her dogs put away so we felt extremely comfortable letting our girl run around freely. There is a horse on the property but he is in his own pen and when my dogs went to investigate he kindly let them and went on about his business. My 2 dogs continue to leave happy and tired! There is plenty of space for fetch which is my youngest dogs favorite activity and there is also plenty on the property for the dogs to sniff and explore including a small pond.Lauren C.

55Carols sniffspot was awesome! My dogs had a blast running around, sniffing and swimming in the pond. It is rural so there are things like tall grass, bugs etc, BUT Carol warned me in advanced. Carol even came out to introduce herself and show me around the property. We will definitely be back!! Melissa F.

55She has a very nice place. Lots of sniffing areas. This was my dogs first visit, he is 20 weeks old, and he had a blast! He is not too fond of the heat and we had a late afternoon appointment, so we didn't stay the whole hour.
Carol met us outside and showed us around. She had fresh water available.
Jasper will definitely want to come back! Stephanie W.

55John was very friendly and showed us around when we arrived. The property is very spacious/well maintained and was perfect for my dog Trico, who wanted to play Frisbee. We also saw some cardinals, a blue Jay, and a robin while we were there. Definitely would love to come back again sometime.Hannah M.

55We’ve been to many great sniff spots and Jmax Backyard Bliss is our favorite! Our dogs had so much fun sniffing around all the hidden nooks and playing fetch. Backyard is 100% secure so I wasn’t worried about my dogs getting out. There was plenty of shade for us to relax while our pups we’re playing. Can’t wait to come back!Karla P.

55John’s backyard was amazing!! Honey and Woofles had the best time. We were shown around the space when we first got there, which was very appreciated. John had fresh water for the pups when we got there and everything we could have needed. The fence was all the way around so we didn’t have to worry about the pups. We will definitely be back.

55The backyard is awesome - tons of space to run around but also has plenty of shade and lounge spots when you might want a break. John is a fantastic host! He gave me a tour of the backyard to show me everything there was to offer and also had two big bowls of clean water out and ready for the dogs to use! Very much appreciated in the hot Texas summers. I will be booking this spot again!Elizabeth L.

FAQ about our Sanger 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sanger 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 309 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 30 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.
