55Good place for your dog or dogs to excierce and do some training. Owner was easy to communicate and answer my questions promptly. Was not hard to find and the walk to the gate is short. At first I was debating on the water quality of the pond but owner assured me that it was safe. The blue color of pond is due to a food grade color they add. Plus they have a pond maintenance company to treat the water. I will be coming back.
55Very clean and open. My dog had a blast, I would stay there for 3 hours if we could! Loved it.
55They've built a brand new, beautiful gate. The grounds are lovely for walking and running around the pond, playing fetch, or being a hound dog sniffer on overtime in a good way. My guy likes a little of each activity. The hour flies by.
55There is nothing more rewarding than to see our dog’s look of sheer delight as she plays at the Secret Oasis.
55We loved it
55Property was very clean and safe for dogs. Pond was spectacular! Great communication from host regarding gate location & entry. A bit of a walk from parking area to gate entrance so plan ahead if you're bringing training equipment. Loved the facility & will definitely be back.
55Our first visit and we will definitely be back!
15The place is extremely dirt, the gate is hard to get in and out. I have been there multiple times and every time the owner has some complain including I was there five minutes early. not going back.
55This was a perfect spot for our puppies to do what they love best - play with each other, run and swim their hearts out! My two young children had fun too on the hammock swing and exploring the grounds. It was a perfect location and visit, and I have two very tired and happy pups!
55Our boys are 10 and 12 yrs old but became puppies all over again today.PJ stayed in the water almost the whole time. Edge went swimming for the first time in his life. BEST money I ever spent!! Beautiful place. Everything it was advertised to be. Looks like we will be making this our favorite place to go with our boys. These boys smiled the whole way home in the car.. thank you again..

    Host replied: We regret that your experience at our park did not meet your expectations. It is unfortunate to receive this feedback, especially after informing you that your membership was canceled. After using our dog park for over 20 times issues mentioned in this review were not previously mentioned. Our top priority is to provide a safe and clean environment for both dogs and their owners, and adherence to the rules is crucial in maintaining this standard. One of the key rules that we emphasize is not entering the park before your scheduled time, a rule that was communicated to you with each booking and is clearly stated in our spot description. Unfortunately, this rule was not followed, along with other important guidelines such as not driving on the lawn (causing damage to our septic tank) properly securing the gate, and cleaning up after grooming your GSD. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the gate issues and assure you that we are currently working on replacing it to improve accessibility. We wish you lack finding a spot that meets your high standards and that can accommodate your needs.

Canter Woods Farm FULLY FENCED in Vero Beach

Welcome! We are excited to have you and grateful to our guests for making us the 2nd most visited SniffSpot in all of Florida 🩵 Got a big, energetic dog who needs a lot of space to run? You’ve found it! If your dog is happiest in the water, we are here for you! We are a haven for dogs with Strong Opinions about things! 🤗 Doesn’t love people? Come on over! Hates other pets? That’s cool! Lives to chase squirrels and moles? We’re overrun, you do you! We are blessed with 19 gorgeous acres of ♿️ HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE pasture, ancient live oak hammocks, and trails surrounding 3 ponds and a creek leading to a cypress swamp. It’s Old Florida at its very BEST. Canter Woods is on the corner of two dead-end dirt roads with barely any traffic. We are now FULLY FENCED so your dog can safely work out every ounce of excess energy! Seating and picnic tables are provided throughout the property, and there is plenty of natural shade. We have a private road that runs all around the inside of the fence, so if your dog likes to run alongside you while you pedal, go ahead and bring your bicycle! The road/trail is almost completely shaded, so even on the hottest of days, it’s quite pleasant. One of our trails, which fully accommodates any vehicle, leads directly to our main seating area adjacent to not one but two ponds. Guests who use a wheelchair, crutches, or a walker can make it from their vehicle to a sturdy chair or lounger in just 6-8 feet ♿️ If you would like access to this parking spot, simply arrange with us. Our shallow swimming ponds are fed nonstop by a deep artesian well. We also have plenty of wildlife—depending on how rambunctious your dog might be, you may see otters, soft shelled turtles, tortoises, wood ducks, raccoons, armadillos, rabbits, and squirrels. We also have a plentiful supply of water birds—herons, egrets, and more. We are a Certified Wildlife Habitat™️! 🍃🌱🌿🪵🐇 We have horses on the premises in paddocks, and they’re tolerant of dogs and their mischief and love ♥️ our SniffSpot dog guests. Hopefully your dog is tolerant of these large mysterious creatures and doesn’t harass them! If you think your dog might be aggressive with the horses and get over or under their sturdy 4-foot paddock fence, please use a leash when in proximity of the barn and paddock! Do note that our horses are ridden and worked often, so there’s always the possibility that you will encounter “evidence” of a horse having passed there before you 😉 As we say around here, that’s farm life for ya! If that kind of thing bothers you, this probably isn’t the right spot for you. We are not manicured lawn—we are a farm and woods and a certified wildlife habitat. Note that we do have some predator animals such as hawks, owls, and the occasional bobcat, so this area is best suited for dogs over about 15 pounds. We keep our 4-lb chihuahua mostly inside, since we moved here. Parking is near the main entrance gate, close to the barn, and you are invited to start off your visit on the trails, following Bambi’s Run at the main entrance. Poop bags, maps, and a trash can are located on a pine tree at the parking area and near the horse paddock. ✨ PLEASE NOTE: We are specifically requesting that you do NOT come to our farm to “check us out” WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT. Please respect that Canter Woods is also our home, and we are closed to anyone who doesn’t have an appointment. For our security and the safety of our guests and their dogs, we have surveillance cameras in use at all our entrances. MEMBERS-ONLY HOURS: We reserve before-work 7:30-10:30 am, Saturday mornings until noon, and all day on Sundays for dog lovers who have chosen to be members. Members also get a lower rate that’s never subject to a price increase + free use of our wash rack and dog shampoo! (a big bonus for the big dogs in our lives!) WE ARE CLOSED ON TUESDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS 🦋
