I keep my dogs and any guest dogs separated during your visit. Unless otherwise discussed your dogs won’t know other dogs are there. If we find a reason to introduce them, I like to introduce new pups in a controlled way. usually by letting a new pup explore the property for a while and then introducing them to the pack one at a time. if you watch some of the videos on my instagram, it’s clear how well they make friends. it’s also ok to request little or no contact. we have the space to accommodate that need for any dog and parent.

we don’t have livestock at the moment but if that were to change we would create barriers to make it easy for guest dogs to navigate around them without interacting.

there are sometimes two or three of use developing the property and building out future infrastructure. we’re all dog lovers and strive to make this the safest off leash area it can be. for the last six months it’s just been myself out here working but i’m hoping to get some help sooner than later.

Description

Hello!! BIG PLANS!! Thank you to every dog and human that supported us this past year. Puppy Paradise in Salado has made so many dogs happy. Visit @puppyparadisesalado to learn more or continue reading. For every new Instagram follower, 1 minute of land clearing and Puppy Paradise construction. Capped at 10 million minutes. For every in person visit, I will budget 30 minutes of land clearing and amenity creation. For every friend group that visits, I will budget 1 hour of pond building and stream reclamation. I will post time lapses along with reported numbers on Instagram. If the page gets to 300k followers I will make Puppy Paradise construction my full time job. I hope you see this as an opportunity for mutual support and developing a long term resource for you and your dog to enjoy once a week or once a month. Come with us on the journey. Kind regards, Joannie - MollyMae - Willameina - Albie Jr - Wizard - Wowzer

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

I live on the property with my pups and I’ve been surprised at how well they do navigating some of the cactus plants and thorns. We have yet to see to many hazards beyond tired legs from running. Every day, I invest several more hours to build up the vision for a puppy paradise in my mind.

Extras

Dog Embodiment Photos$100

3 locations, 10 minutes of taking pictures, 10 minutes of walking. You’ll have access to multiple landscapes, backgrounds and play opportunities. You’ll get all the raw files on a thumb drive mailed to your home. We will use the photos to help market and advertise the space as a dog forward space.

Dog Forward Community Market$10

This is just a way to support using this space periodically for a community market. ☺️🐶 this is a donation.

Listening Session$50

Everyone needs a listening partner who’s not invested in the outcome. Practice a business pitch, verbally process a conversation with a friend, gossip about the frustrating neighbors so you don’t act unkind when you see them in person. I promise I will not judge. I won’t be a replacement for a good professional therapist but I will be a great sounding board so your next stressful social interaction will be more successful.

Plant Harvesting$25

Up to 3 species per visit per person. Ask questions about sustainable harvesting.


SniffFund Me - Summer Dog Pool$50

This is a big one. The cost of building a dog pond will take several years but in the meantime we can build a much smaller dog pool. We need 100 people to choose this add on in order to build a 33” stock tank pool with a pond liner and gravel bottom. We will use a smaller stock tank to create a wetland filter. 0/100


SniffFundMe-bridge\rain shade$5

The total cost of building the walking bridge is $5000 and creating a 20’X20’ sun/rain shade will cost $2400. I have already invested in a 40’ container which will be the main body of the bridge. I am milling cedar with a small chain saw. All of the income from this Add-On will go directly to these projects. A spreadsheet of incoming donations at items sourced with these funds can be access upon request.

Lanahan's Lounge for Pups & Parents

Large backyard and screened in porch which backs to the Wells Branch trail available for you and your pups to enjoy. Conveniently located between Katherine Fleischer Park and Mills Pond. Taking a walk with your dog and you're done but they still need some time for zoomies? Hop on over and take a weight off while your dog runs free! The yard is fully fenced, with a latch on the gate to keep your pups secure. There is a screened in back porch with lights, a fan, and plenty of seating. There's even a hammock that you can enjoy on the porch or in the yard! Feel free to move the chairs around as needed. You can take it easy while your pups play, or take a rest after playing together 🥰 There is also a waste bin, poo scooper and bags for you on the back porch. You and your pup may encounter a bunny from time to time but they are pretty good and fast at getting out quickly (they're used to running from our cats). Please do not let dogs dig in the beds around the house and at the fence. The area fenced off next to the house is where grow our veggies and native plants are along the fence line to deter mosquitoes. Feel free to try some of what we are growing! Please enjoy our space!
