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

What people say about dog hiking trails around Salado, Texas

November 2023

Had a great time! Really enjoyed the varied inclines and small hills-great for building muscles and confidence in new landscapes for my young dog. Small hiccup with our first visit but hosts were communicative and apologetic. We will definitely be back and look forward to exploring more!

Really nice place for your dogs to explore and lots of great trails to just enjoy the outdoors. Up top of the hill is a beautiful view and a great spot to throw a ball as your dogs walk run up and down that hill to get the ball and bring it back. It exhausted my 6 large breed dogs. It is in fact fully fenced in and their dogs are so cute. They are kept in a fenced in area to themselves by the front gate and homes. Super easy to stay far enough that there's no visibility or sound from any direction. Owners are super cool and nice! Really liked them too. We will be back 🤗

I took my mother with me, along with my two dogs. My mom tags along when my husband is away from work. Let me say that the hills always make me break a sweat because I'm so out of shape. But my mom loved it! She was so fascinated by all the local flowers and plants that the long hike didn't faze her. We saw lots of butterflies taking advantage of the many flowers, I love that the host continues to allow the local wildlife to blossom and takes it upon themselves to not only create safe walking areas but also preserves the local aesthetic. The dogs get so tired, they sleep the whole way home and plop on the bed as soon as they get inside the house. As soon as I dropped my mom off, the pups and I took a good long nap. We can't wait to go back again! 10/10 recommended for pups and their humans!

We had a great time hiking up and down the hillsides and trails with our pup Apollo, he enjoyed his walk as well. Once we get familiar with the property, we'll give him the opportunity to run freely since the property is safe and fenced. The Views are beautiful as well.

Joannie’s place is wonderful. My dogs had the best time running as much as they wanted to and there was no worry for me about them getting out of the fenced acreage. It’s a beautiful place to hike. Will definitely be back.

Another perfect romp for my dogs and I at Puppy Paradise. 🖤 The dogs got a solid workout with the hill and then we had an easy stroll through Indigo Forest along the east fence line. Super well shaded and will be perfect as the weather warms up. We’ll be back!

FAQ about our Salado dog hiking trails

Are dog hiking trails safe?

While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.

How can I find dog hiking trails in Salado?

There are 7 dog hiking trails in the Salado area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Puppy Paradise in Salado. You can browse all of our dog hiking trails here.

How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?

Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog. You can also filter by size if you are looking for a certain acre park, an expansive off-leash dog park. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog hiking trails. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.

What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog hiking trail?

In order to hike the trails, we require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules.

Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot hiking trail at the same time as me?

Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
