55My two dogs and I had a wonderful time at Mahalo Haven. We appreciated the hose, tennis balls, kiddie pool & fine-tooth combs available to use (came in handy for my long haired Papillon due to burs.)
Mahalo Haven is a real treasure... So much love went into every thoughtful detail on the property, which the owners encourage guests to enjoy. I am so grateful for our experience today.Ilona B.

55I’m currently dog sitting one of my previous pups who I rehomed to a family a while back. I was looking to take her for a nice nature hike alone as I can’t take her to public dog parks because of her reactivity issues. This spot was wonderful and Peanut loved exploring the property which was fun to watch! I definitely recommend this location as this was the very first time I’ve done anything like this. Peanut loved the doggy pool as well as it was pretty warm outside! I definitely would take her back! Roman V.

55Amazing! Our doggos had a blast. We reserved the spot for 1.5 hours. Gated entrance was easy to find as was the welcome station with kiddie pool, hose, water, and toys. We loved the morning stroll on the trail. Our dogs couldn't help themselves and they just ran and ran and ran. They even found a deer they chased briefly. The sitting areas scattered along trail were great and the meditation station was our favorite for views and a chill break.
Restrooms were clean. The entire property was beautiful. The views were great. We will have to make this spot a regular stop on the weekends. Thank you sooooo much! Maria A.

55This was the perfect spot to test my dog's recall without worrying about him running away or going towards other dogs. My other dog (my fearful rescue) also enjoyed it and felt comfortable enough to run around and explore. The scenery was peaceful and quiet, we will definitely be back soon. Yesenia F.

55Took my three dogs this morning and they had a blast! We stayed for 1.5 hours. My dogs had so much fun running and exploring. Would love to go back! The owner was very thoughtful and has toys, water bowl, water hose, bug spray, and brushes (!!). There were several trash cans throughout the property - this made it very easy to throw away poop bags.
A few things to be aware of before visiting: there are lots of rocks and a few cactuses around the property. the owner has done a great job of keeping the path clear but this is a true Texas yard and the landscape resembles it. My dog tore up a paw pretty badly - but he’s also got no chill and ran around the ENTIRE visit. To be fair this could have happened anywhere, and he has been known to run until his paws bleed. Just keep your eyes out where you throw the ball!
Also, there is a small pool for the dogs but there is chlorine in it and your dogs will smell like a fresh stick of chlorine the entire ride home if they get in the pool before getting in your car! Lauren S.

FAQ about our Bulverde 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.
