55Great size yard for all 3 of my dogs. They enjoyed playing ball and exploring. It was completely fenced in and no dogs anywhere to be seen or heard. Which is what I need since my dogs are reactive. Angelica D.

55Beautiful spot, Aaron was very welcoming. There was water available for the dogs, plenty of shade and places to sit, as well as open areas for my pup to run around. After fetch in the front field she got to cool off in the creek. We will definitely be returning. Kim W.

55Aaron was very welcoming, friendly, and his space was great for our dogs to get a little off leash time outside of the city/our .25 acre lot.Casey J.

55I had a great time with my dog! He’s not friendly with strange dogs, so dog parks are not an option for us... this is such a great alternative. It was so nice seeing him run around and enjoy himself off leash without having to worry about other dogs. ❤️Ashley H.

55I love this property! Easy to access, and has a nice variety of areas to explore! Definitely a couple places dogs can slip through fencing (especially the little guys), but they mention that in their description, and that’s not a problem for us. Ashley J.

55Fantastic sniffspot with lots of room for just being a dog and doing dog things. If you are looking for open space for your dogs to run, play or sniff around, this spot has it. Easy to find and easy access to the property. I came from N. Dallas and it was only about a 35 min. drive. I will surly return again. If I could name this place it call it the "Lonestar Sniffspot & Dog Ranch".Phillip W.

FAQ About Melissa 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.
