55It was a great space to practice recall, and the space is large enough for our 55lb dog to run around and stretch. Grass is kept and short like we like with shaded areas. We will be back.Aaron T.

55Loved it! My husband and I took our two puppies who love to run and explore but get too excited or scared by stranger dogs and people. This yard is big, beautiful, fenced, well-kept and private. It was easy to schedule, no need to interact with the owner.
We’ll definitely be returning and would recommend it to everyone :)

55Beautiful, clean, well-maintained and LARGE area for my big boy to stretch those long legs and play with his buddy!
Most dogs parks are not safe (for various reasons) and anywhere you go in public, irresponsible owners have their dogs off leash - and when you have a mastiff who is not friendly toward most strange dogs, that’s a possibly dangerous and very stressful issue. This is private and safe! Perfect for us!
I will definitely be back!
Thank you so much for putting your property on Sniffspot!Denise M.

55This was awesome! So easy! Our Vizsla had the best time since she was able to be off leash and we are still working on recall. I was even able to snap some cute pictures of her running and catching the frisbee. Great place. We'll be back! Ivonne F.

55My pup had a blast! It’s great to have a big safe space for my dog to run around freely since dog parks are not a good fit for him. I have worked very hard on training my boy since I rescued him but he is still reactive to some dogs. Taking him to this place was very relaxing for both of us! Will definitively be back! Rocio S.

55The location was easy to find and there were no parking issues. The Host responded to messages in a timely manner. The listed amenities were provided as stated and the information from the site was consistent. Cup's Haven photos were true to the spot's presentation. The availability of treehouse, swing set, agility equipment, and chairs were a wonderful addition in convenience and to engage in fun stuff besides watching the dogs have all the fun.
The private dog park was clean and had no musky smell. I didn't have to worry about looking out for poop. The gate and enclosed area was stable and secure enough for me to not feel my dogs would go lost. The large open space and a few hidden areas still enable me to view the dogs. I have two mix Labrador Retriever dogs (55 lbs and 62 lbs) and both were able to run, roam, play, explore, chase, and do laps.
My dogs were happy with the visit to Cup's Haven. I would book again. Susan T.

55Wonderful place to take my four dogs to run around and have fun! Fully fenced area, clean, and well kept! Will be returning here again soon. My dogs had such a fun time and didn’t want to leave! We have a small backyard at home with not enough space for them to run around, so this will definitely become a frequent activity!Maleny G.

FAQ about our Alvin 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.
