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.

The amount of places to sit for us humans was so much that no matter where we were there was a place for us to sit and chat while our pup ran around. We will definitely be coming back!!Sarah M.

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 small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Bulverde?
There are 91 small dog parks in the Bulverde area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park 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.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
