55Loved it! We are grateful for a space where our reactive dog could explore off leash and just be a dog. The shaded trails behind the field provided plenty of exploration for our dog and easy walking for the humans. Having the equipment there also allowed us to do some quick and fun training.
55My 2 dogs love visiting this property! I feel good because I know they are safe and if they’re out of sight for a while, I know they’re not leaving the property. They have plenty of area to run or walk and sniff.! We think it’s 😍
55As always, they had a great time and sniffed out the area the entire time.
55Fantastic as always! It feels like there is something new for the pups to do every time we come here.
55We had a great time! And there's make-shift agility equipment, which my small dog loved. Will definitely visit again. Thank you TJ!
55The boys had the best time and so did their people. Great property, we will visit again soon.
55We love coming here! It’s always a great time for everyone Thank you again for such a dog/ wild kid friendly place!
55Lovely quiet spot with lots of interesting obstacles for dogs to try.
55Another great day at this sniffspot!
55We had such a good time adventuring through this sniffspot. There were so many things to do and smell, both our pups had a blast. We will be back!

β€œThere are friendly black dog and a golden retriever across the road from the entrance, behind a their own fence. They are out sometimes and the retriever does bark. They are the only dog that MAY BE visible at times. Our dogs are dog reactive, so we sometimes exchange barks, then we move into the field and dogs across the street cease to exist for us.”

Unhook the gate chain to let yourself in. Please swing the gate INTO our property. Park inside the gate, close the gate and let the dogs enjoy free roaming.

Location

Archer, Florida

Description

Hello, We would like to welcome our dog friends to our private fully fenced wooded dog park we named The North Star Ranch. The North Star is positioned right over our entrance, and you might see it if you stay at the ranch late. Please bring your own water, snacks, poo bags. Also we have no trash collection, so please take your waste home with you. This is what we do as well. Consider a visit to our ranch a visit to nature that has been fenced in for your dogs’ convenience. And as in all Florida woods, there are some safety concerns you need to be aware of before your reservation. There are more or less visible stumps and vines all over the ranch. There are also some prickly cacti, buckthorn bushes and brambles. Tree logs and trunks have been arranged in some areas as edging for trails. The ranch is a work in progress and we are very slowly cutting prickly plants back to where they aren’t in dogs’ faces, but it’s taking us a while. Long pants and closed toed shoes are very much recommended. We also suggest tick spray if you’re worried about them. We find that in winter time they are rare. Mosquito cream is available during summer months at the gate. We recommend you use it. There is a 20 liter canister of water for dogs available at the picnic table along with a black rubber bowl. There is a back gate at the ranch and we don’t suggest venturing out of, as the back of the property is NOT fenced, and trails are grown over. Please stay in the fenced-in area only for your safety! We hope you and your dog enjoy lots of sniffing while you’re either strolling along or sitting down in one of our picnic areas. There is some agility equipment available at your discretion. Please use it wisely and look out for your pet’s safety first. Wilderness warning! ⚠️ Snakes have been spotted at the ranch several times. Our dogs run through the ranch daily, so wildlife is used to human and canine presence. This was their home before we enclosed it, so we respect their presence and move around them if we spot them. To this date we haven’t had any negative experience with the wildlife, and we surely want to see you stay safe as well. Keep your eyes open if you veer off the main paths, and have some treats in your pocket to help call your dog back to you in case of a snake sighting. The sightings definitely drop off in the colder months. We hope you enjoy our ranch as much us we do! Our dogs absolutely love it and we lovingly nicknamed this place our β€œsanity ranch”. Enjoy!

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Our land is mostly wilderness so good mobility on humans’ part is expected. Dogs are free to dig on the property so footing can unexpectedly drop! There are wilderness hazards like uneven ground, vines and some sand spurs that we are slowly eliminating. There is a small hole under the fence in the SW corner of the property, 10 inches wide and 6 inches at the lowest point. A teacup or tiny dog may be able to squeeze out in that spot, if they really want to. Probably a rabbit and opossum pathway, and we keep an eye on it so it doesn’t grow. Hazards for dogs: some sand spurs in the open field. Equipment for agility and parkour is available for healthy movement choices. IF your dog doesn't want to use equipment, please don't make them! Choice grows confidence, pressure builds avoidance. Ask me about parkour classes if you’d like to learn more about using equipment. I’ve seen one black racer at the ranch in 2025. They are probably nearby, so some caution around hidden spots near equipment a good idea!

Hi, we’re TJ (Tjasa) and Eric and we’re your hosts. We have 2 German Shepherds and a rescue Belgian Malinois. We understand that off leash time is an important part of dogs’ biological fulfillment, so we want to share our woods with anyone wanting to provide that to their own dogs. Reach out to us with any questions about the ranch.

Welcome to our private, fenced-in dog haven! Your furry friend will love the spacious area, complete with plenty of toys to keep them entertained. We've got a pool for pups who love to swim (with an extra cost), and owners can relax in the loungers and comfortable seating. For your convenience, we provide waste bags, and water bowls. We strive to keep everything clean and safe for both you and your pup to enjoy a fun, relaxing time together! A Note About Pool Use: To help us maintain the pool and avoid future closures for repairs, we kindly ask all pet owners to rinse their dogs off from dirt and debris before allowing them to swim. This is required, as the accumulation of dirt and dog hair can cause damage to the pool, leading to increased maintenance costs and potential closures. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us keep the spot enjoyable for everyone! Our convenient cul-de-sac location offers ample parking, making drop-off and pick-up a breeze. Enter through either fenced entrance and relax with plenty of seating while your pup explores!
