Fencing height (at lowest point)

100% of guests said fencing at this spot was secure enough to contain their dogs

Gaps or holes in fence: No gaps

Fencing details: We need to keep coyotes out and goats and sheep safe, so we have a very secure perimeter fence surrounding 24 total acres. Some of the interior cross fencing is lower and these areas are available for use if appropriate for your dog.


Designed for private play
Only the people and dogs in your booking are allowed in the spot during your visit.

We have 2 outdoor dogs and one very spoiled old lady who is usually following me everywhere (so possibly she may be visible for our introduction but I always remove her for your play time). All of them can be COMPLETELY out of sight/sound if your pup is reactive. Alternately, they are friendly and available for playmates by request. They all have very different play styles and can be used singly depending on your pup.

All livestock is ALWAYS securely fenced apart from the Sniffspot pasture during visits. Most will likely be out of sight, but it is easy to arrange visits (either with fence between or controlled face-to-face introductions). Horses, sheep and goats are all familiar with dogs. Sheep are not available for face-to-face interaction (because two of the ewes are aggressive toward dogs and the rest are super scared of dogs) but they can be viewed from a different paddock. Neighbors have chickens which are 99% contained and not visible from the Sniffspot area unless one wanders, hence the 99%. Starting in late 2024, we will be housing a rescue horse that will be readily visible and available for petting (but will be securely separated).

We have a gate and an approximately 1/4 mile long driveway. We will leave a gate remote for you to use to access the property. You know you are at the right address if you see a black gate with a black star and on the right side of the driveway (usually on your gps map) there is a kidney-shaped stock tank pond. On the driver's side of the fence, we hang the remote prior to your expected arrival. The gate opens into the pasture and closes automatically. Please do not pause in the path of the gate; when you are clear of the concrete, you are welcome to stop because you will be outside of the gate's swing. When you leave, the gate opens automatically and please remember at this time: stay back from the gate since it opens toward your car as you exit. Proceed and pass through the upper gate, which will be open for you, then choose from ample parking! A welcome banner will indicate the closest parking spots.

Description

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Note on water level and algae: seasonally, the algae "blooms" and recently we have not seen enough rain to keep the tanks pretty and full. No algae is "good" for animals, so please keep this in mind if you visit during seasons when there is a bloom. All of my livestock use the stock tank ponds as a water source year round, but want dog visitors to be aware. 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

Our place is a beautiful animal-oriented property. It is technically a working ranch with cows, sheep, goats, chickens and horses (many cross fenced areas so livestock can be separated from dogs or not). Ideally suited for doggie fun, we have a combination of open space and "wooded" areas and there's a great pond for dogs to cool off and play. We have plans to add agility obstacles in the near future. For a great overnight getaway, we also have a guest house that can be rented. Best of all, we are located 30 minutes from Austin and San Marcos.

Come check out our backyard - perfect for your furry companion! We have over an acre of lush green grass that I keep trimmed so it’s safe from scary critters. The property is fully of shady trees so you and Fido can stay cool. There’s plenty of room to run around and the land is fully fenced in with a privacy type fence. As the corner lot with no neighbors living next door and no sidewalk running along the fence, this is the perfect space for reactive dogs! We have chairs for humans to enjoy and kiddie pools, hoses, and sprinklers for you and your furry friend. Notes: -Neighboring lot is now sometimes under construction with 2 - 3 people -Mosquitos can be bad in summer -Grass burs are bad at the beginning of summer, dogs and humans will want to check shoes/fur upon leaving and avoid taller grass spots.

I'm a big animal lover with a beautiful extra-large shady backyard. Many of my fur babies have played to their heart's content here over the years. It is perfect for running and playing frisbee or fetch. Even though they have transitioned to doggie heaven, they would have wanted you to bring your puppies here to play. I know your kids will love it here.
