55Clay’s yard and pool were amazing!!! Superbly kept and the fully enclosed yard felt very safe. Clay was such a kind and generous soul - very knowledgeable and so tuned in to animal behavior. Clay also helped me acclimate my sweet pup to the pool- it was Shiloh’s first time getting in a big human pool and not just a kiddie pool. It was such a great experience overall and we can’t wait to go back! Jen M.

55My Husky and GSD had a great time here! There was lots of room to run, it was quiet and pretty, and there were tall plants/shrubs in front of most all of the secure and tall fencing, so my pups had the best fun roaming between the plants and fence like exploring tunnels. The host was very, very nice, there was a lovely swimming pool in the center, only wish my guys wanted to swim! There was a nice pooper scooper and trash can, a water dish and garden hose, a few toys, and some shade and lots of cool grass to cool off on for the pups! Great seating in the shade for us! Overall an excellent sniffspot!Susann S.

55My labradoodle Pablo had a great time swimming here! The enclosed backyard was huge and private and the pool was warm, clean, and very inviting! The host was so accommodating and friendly! We’ll have to come back soon. I’d recommend this place for both experienced swimming pups and beginners (ours was a beginner). Caroline C.

55My dog Bree had a absolute blast at Clay’s pool! It was a great experience for both our pup and us as well. Clay was very attentive and helpful providing us with anything that we and Bree might need. My baby girl Bree LOVES swimming so being able to find this opportunity for her to be able to swim in a pool and also share the experience with her in the pool as well was awesome and a memorable experience. I highly recommend this sniff spot ! :)Alexis S.

55This is a great spot! I first came to give my dogs a swimming experience but they were not interested at all. They still had plenty of space to run and play with each other. It’s a great size and Clay is super sweet. We met her the first time we went and before our second visit she messaged to make sure we would be well accommodated. I will definitely be a recurring guest Judith T.

55The perfect Sniffspot for dogs of all sizes!! I had an amazing experience w my dogs goofing around, running in the perfect huge grass areas, jumping in the pool- i felt like a kid tbh Hahah one of my dogs is obsessed w water but had never been in a pool so she had to learn to use the steps. We brought her life vest and it was so helpful because she wanted to play endlessly but got so tired! My other dog is a huuuge lazy baby. He even had some zoomies and I never ever see him trot and run like that! Most importantly, the host has amazing communication and met me before I brought my dogs in. They were incredibly accepting of my water dog being fearful of new people and worked hard to make her comfortable. My lazy dog ran to the host to say hi while they were getting the pool ready because he just loved Clay’s energy!! 🤣 a furminator is provided and was so helpful prior to our pool time. Honestly my normally fearful dog even wanted to say hi to the host because it was such a good time and experience! We can’t wait to go back!!Ivy C.

FAQ about our Lake Hughes small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Lake Hughes?
There are 125 small dog parks in the Lake Hughes area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
