55Our whole Sniff Spot experience at Hey Dude's private park in Alvord, Texas was OUTSTANDING. I highly recommend this spot for people with multiple dogs, sighthounds with good recall, and travelers for road weary dogs! There is so much room for safe and high speed play and running.
It is not far off Hwy 287. there is a BBQ restaurant right across the highway. I recommend renting for two hours at a time and enjoying this amazing spot! Play, rest, play and get back on the road. It is just North of Decatur and perfect for travelers between Amarillo and DFW. I drove from McKinney to take my Aussie to this sweet spot. We will be regulars.
There is no highway or road noise. The expansive land has been beautifully cleared of wild brush to reveal gentle rolling hills, lovely trees, a small pond with creek, and wooded areas. It is ultra safe with dangerous objects that I could see.
You will love this gorgeous and peaceful Sniff Spot for you and your dogs.Michelle M.

FAQ about our Alvord 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.
