55This place is a heaven for pups, especially if they love to play in water. It’s also one of few places with large acres fully fenced off so you can have peace of mind. Fencing is generally secure, but there’s a spot in the corner of the lake near the entrance side where there’s an enough gap between ground and the bottom wire for a dog to crawl under. (and my very curious pup did and we had to retrieve him) If your dog doesn’t have a good recall or is an escape artist like ours, I would recommend having a long line attached or watch them closely. All in all, we had good times and my pups loved the place! We’ll visit again when we visit DFW.Sumin J.

55I love Mandy's space! She is is a great host and sent us all of the info we needed ahead of time. My dogs had so much fun and loved wading in the pond. One of my dogs has bad abandonment issues and doesn't like to go outside- but he ran and played without a care in the world when we visited, it was so great to see him finally let loose! We have already made plans to return to Mandy's place!Elizabeth H.

55Great spot for off leash fun! Plenty of room to run around and explore. My golden loved the pond! Could hear neighbor’s dogs but they were off in the distance so it did not bother my dog whatsoever - never saw other dogs or cattle actually when we went! Highly recommend visiting this SniffSpot.

55Mandy's property was the absolute perfect spot for our dogs to roam free with the ease of knowing they are safe to do so! The property is well-kept (mowed, easily accessible trails, etc). We spent a total of two hours and our dogs were busy the entirety of the time!
If you are looking for a spot to take your dogs to roam and explore away from the city- I 10/10 recommended Mandy's sniff spot!
We will definitely be back! Kate R.

55We’ve made visits to West Willow Acres for the last three years to celebrate our dog’s birthday. We wanted her to run free and off leash in the country. The location is more gorgeous every year with amazing fields of beautiful wildflowers and nicely manicured paths to wander. Mandy couldn’t be more gracious and kind. We will continue to come back every year (and hopefully more than that). Thanks Monday for another great birthday for Gertie. Marianne S.

FAQ about our Alvarado dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Alvarado area range from $4.0 and $100.0. The least expensive dog field is Angel's Private Dog Park In Waxahachie. The most expensive dog field is Aquatic Dog Park In Richardson. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
