55Nayeli was a gracious host and incredible in terms of communicating and hospitality. Her yard was fully fenced which allowed my dogs to be off leash and they absolutely LOVED her backyard. Both of my dogs were able to explore in a safe and clean environment without worry for my reactive dog. I can’t put into words how grateful I am Nayeli opened up her yard to my dogs and he was able to experience something new. Answering the questions I do see they asked if there were any triggering noises within 50ft or if i could hear other dogs, while the neighbor did let their dog out and he let out a singular little bark, it was nothing to trigger my dogs only make them a little curious but they quickly moved on. adrianna v.

55Absolutely fantastic time! My poor Great Dane mix is afraid of dogs he doesn't know, and living in an apartment is hard for him. It was so nice to see him and his doggy brother run around so carefree! And my German Shepherd had a blast with the pool. Not to mention it was super nice for us owners too! The swinging chair was insanely comfortable and there were so many nice touches to make us feel at home. We can't wait to visit again 🐾💚Amanda H.

55Very easy to communicate with! And some nice big trees for shade. We're trying to get our pup used to new spots while continuing to listen to us, so we did some training and then play time! Thank you!!Amanda M.

Waggin' Tails Private Doggie Play Yard in South Austin | Sniffspot
55My two dogs had a great time. The space was clean and secure and there was a good amount of space to run as well as lots of things to sniff and run around, over, and under. What made it extra great was the variety of seating options for us. We hope to come back soonAlison S.

55My dog, Apple, had so much fun today! The instructions were super clear and there was already toys, a water bowl, bags, and more set up. It was a lovely fenced in yard that was perfect for my pittie. Would highly recommend bringing your pups to play here.April R.

55This backyard is dope. Stephanie has definitely done this before. This was my first sniff spot experience and she blew me away. There was a small pool with fresh water and the biggest bowl of water I've ever seen. Toys and poop bags. She had all the accoutrements for an amazing afternoon. My dogs can be quite reactive, but her backyard is so quiet they didn't bark once. A great find!Sarah M.

FAQ about our Marion 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.
