55Bailey had a great time rolling around in the grass and doing zoomies in the yard. The yard was completely fenced in and she wasn’t able to see out which was great since she has some reactivity issues. We would definitely come back again!Kelly G.

55This place is wonderful! I have not only a reactive dog but he is also deaf so finding a safe place for him can be hard. He loved it here and got so worn out. We will definitely be back Krista C.

55This spot was as described in the profile. High, secure privacy fence. No other dogs, animals could be seen, but one dog from a neighboring house could be heard. Plenty of green space. Maci loved all the smells :) Amy R.

55We had the best time in this space. The fencing was great. The yard was big enough to throw the ball for our active girl. The chairs around the fire pit were perfect. Great location. Amanda C.

55I threw my dog a going away party before we move out of state, and this was the perfect place for it! Kelsey really did think of every little detail and it made me feel at ease knowing that everything was all set up for us; all we had to do was show up! Mika and her friends had so much fun. Highly recommend! Camila V.

FAQ about our Waco 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Waco 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 412 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 36 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.
