55I have been here several times and will continue spending so much time here. It’s just such a perfect spot. This time, I invited my friends and we had 7 dogs hanging out for our booked time. Every single dog had infinite sniffs to get in, chased each other around the pond, chased each other IN the pond, and were perfectly exhausted from the best day ever hanging at Lauren’s property. I have gotten to know Lauren throughout my visits and it is always a joy seeing her and talking to her. Incredible host ALWAYS. Her priority is that the pups have FUN and that is always what they do.

Olive's Jungle Oasis in South Austin 💦 | Sniffspot
55This spot was wonderful, my dog Mushu and I loved it! Ken and Olive are great hosts- there were plenty of tennis balls and toys to throw around, lounge chairs, shaded areas, water bowl and hose, and a secure fenced perimeter. We heard some neighbors and their fur babies but it was nothing major, just one “hello” bark but that was it, totally chill after that. I will say the gate was a little bit tricky to close once inside the yard, but if you take the lock off and leave in on the shelf of the fence, you can close the gate and lock it once again from the outside when leaving! The pool was super clean and perfect on a hot day for a black fluffy dog lol, we will totally be back!! Anam R.

55We had a good time. It is a nice clean. Pool. They supply many balls to play fetch. My only complaint is the gate was really hard for me to close from the inside. Especially with my dog on leash and stuff in my hands. Nicole N.

FAQ About Buda 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. 8% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Buda 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 247 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 327 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.
