55We had the best time here at Happy Dogs Ranch Resort and can’t wait to come back. Angie was so welcoming and kind, the ranch is like heaven for your pups. It’s fully fenced and secured (no tiny spots for houdinis like our shepherd) and you can let the pups off leash with confidence. So much room to play, smell, swim in the pond and be free. We have two large pups and one them can be reactive to small dogs. It was so awesome to spend time with them here together, doing their favorite things. We enjoyed being on the beautiful property, so many gorgeous trees and scenery. Thank you so much Angie for your kindness and hosting us.Sara D.

Great experience! Our Boston terrier loved running around freely in a large fenced area and quick swim in the pond was just a great added bonus for him. The owner was very welcoming, definitely going to be backJuste R.

55We had an INCREDIBLE time here, the hosts are so accommodating and friendly with a true love for animals and providing this paradise for dogs like my own. My husband and I went here for an hour on a Sunday with our two dogs, Dixie and Merrick. Dixie can't be around other dogs anymore due to an altercation with another dog that attacked her brother Merrick- she has been traumatized ever since and always on guard even after immersive training. She is HIGH energy and due to now living in an apartment because of hurricane Ian, she doesn't get the same opportunities to run around. She was totally exhausted by the time we left from sprinting around the vast amount of land available at the ranch and playing fetch in the pond. She also has some tics due to some neurological issues - it always makes me nervous meeting new people and going to new areas as to how others will react, but Angie was so understanding when she greeted us, and was not bothered in the slightest, which in turn kept Dixie calm as she was introduced to the new spot. Really loved this experience, location and the hosts are awesome. HIGHLY recommend and can't wait to go back!Catrina G.

55An amazing experience, Angie was so kind and took the time to show us around. The property is everything you could want for a fun day of leash free adventure. Our newly-tripod dog enjoyed the space and shade, and our fast-paced high energy explorer enjoyed running from spot to spot and smelling every corner. The goats and horses kept them entertained and the pond was the perfect spot for them to take a rest and soak in the fresh air.
If you’re looking for enough space to feel truly free, and people who really show genuine care for your animals I would highly recommend you check them out next! Hannah V.

55Was amazing! Khaleesi loved everything about it. She was nervous in the beginning, but thats just how she always is in new places. But once she saw how much space she could roam around freely without any other pups she was OBSESSED!! The people are super nice and had towels, water and perfect spots to sit everywhere. I loved it and will definitely be coming back, I've never seen my puppy so happy!!❤️❤️Vanessa G.

55We will DEFINITELY be returning!! My dog had so much fun roaming around and smelling everything. Angie was so amazing and kind, I would highly recommend this place to anyone I know. Definitely a hidden gem. Everything was fenced in and perfectly safe, with dog treats and toys provided. She even left out refreshments for us and put chairs out in the shade. It was such a great time!Paola R.

55This was a great spot for my dog that doesn’t really leave my side, it’s a very cute small area for a good small-medium dog that needs a good exercise. Love this so much definitely going to come again Amelia C.

55The space was exactly as advertised in the photographs posted online; parking was convenient, and there was access to water and water bowls, but we chose to bring our own. Our puppy enjoyed all the new smells and exploring the equipment at his own pace. We will be back! Rachael J.

55The area is a great sized space filled with plenty of toys and obstacles to explore. The fence is tall and secure which made us feel safe for our pup to roam off-leash. We brought our own water bowl but fresh water is available if needed. We would definitely visit again 😊🐾Stephanie B.

55Was a great place to take my reactive dog to play around! There were other dogs in kennels near the fenced in area but it worked out perfectly and I feel would be great help with her getting used to other dogs again! Super nice people too will definitely be returning Victoria D.

FAQ about our Fort Myers 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.
