Samantha's Private Dog Park In San Antonio | Sniffspot
55This is a gorgeous, quiet spot. Plenty of room for the dogs to roam, a comfortable spot to sit for the humans. It is 100% secure. We forgot to bring bags for clean up and Samantha kindly provided some. We won’t forget next time!! We enjoyed the quiet and are definitely coming back for more. I didn’t take pictures of the yard as it’s someone’s home.Lisa B.

55This Sniffspot is perfect! So much land and a variety of different places for pups to play. Aside from the pool, there’s a fire pit area, grassy land and a leafy hill. Our boys had a blast and Ramona had the yard perfectly equipped for everything (toys, treats, towels, wifi and more). Krys B.

55Beautiful, fully fenced yard for my 2 big dogs to play fetch and frisbee. My boys loved playing here. There was complimentary water for my dogs and a trash bag to leave our poop bags. Easy to find and owners were very nice and responsive.Samantha T.

55The hosts are ah-mazing and so accommodating. They definitely made us feel welcome at their home. There was lots of space for our pups to run and even on this cold day, they enjoyed time in the pool. They loved seeing the deer passing through in the distance. This was a great experience and we would love to return soon! Thanks for taking such good care of us. Lilly W.

55We had such a great time - I think my dogs explored every possible corner. They are home and exhausted- both passed out within minutes lol!! So much space for them to play and explore plus they got to observe an entire family of deer. I think one of my dogs could have stayed there happily for a few more hours just watching them. Everything you think you might need is provided - what a great place - thank you so much for generously opening up your yard and being so thoughtful with the amenities! Melissa N.

55We enjoyed our visit at Schott’s Sniffspot! Our 1 year old Labrador loved running around, sniffing through the acreage, and chasing tennis balls. Even my senior Pomeranian had a great time strolling around. Thanks for hosting! We’ll be back. Ilse E.

55Mostly secured. My dogs seem to have gotten passed a fenced area on the right hand side when entering. Not sure how as the side they went through is not visible but i heard a gate rattling when they got through. Thankfully it wasn't towards the street and just on the other side of the property. Aside from that, it was greatAlex M.

55Great spot! Readily available water for my doggie and very private area. Love that there is a shaded area to cool off and relax. Beautiful property and host has plenty of dog toys and awesome goodie box with essentials. Be aware we encountered lots of stickers in the area and I had to spend some time pulling them off my dogs coat. But such is life in nature! We had a blast and I would recommend. Rachel S.

55This spot was easier to find than I expected! The directions were spot on and the entrance clearly marked. My dogs had a wonderful time and there was a box of treats/toys/brushes/mosquito spray provided. My dogs love to be in the forest areas, so being able to brush out the burs from their fur was very helpful! I saw one dog from the spot but the neighbor's dog wasn't reactive and just wanted to roll around in the dirt. (which was adorable!) Overall a wonderful experience and will visit again. Thank you for hosting!Ashlei S.

55This was my first time using Sniffspot and it was perfect! It was well maintained, quiet, and had plenty of space. My reactive dog loved getting a chance to just be a dog and smell all the smells. We will definitely be back! :)Sara F.

55The pups and I had a great time. Brookell provides what you would need to pick up after your dog and even has some grooming tools! I gave my dogs a nice brush when I was there. Since it’s hotter I would say to take your own cool water to mix with the warmer water that comes out the hose. She has a bowl and kids pool for the dogs too.Gilbert G.

FAQ about our Fredericksburg 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. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Fredericksburg area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 21 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 7 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
