55This property is GREAT ! Plenty of shade. Islands of foliage for visual interest and fun for dogs to sniff and investigate. The ground is nice and flat. No ruts to worry about tripping in with speeding dogs and distracted humans. I love this place and will continue to utilize it.Jean F.

55From start to finish this was the best experience ever- we couldn’t have picked a better first time trying SniffSpot than Heather’s. Directions were very clear and very easy. We felt super welcomed and comfortable before, during, and after our visit. We didn’t realize there was a whole dog and owner station until halfway through when we went to get water for the dogs. It was so nice! There were towels, waters, toys, wipes, shampoo, and probably more! The yard- extremely spacious with so much to run around, over, and through. It was a very enriching experience for the pups. After 2 hours my 8yr old corgi refused to leave. Not because she was tired.. she wasn’t done playing!! The 45 mins drive was worth it and we’re definitely coming back! Thank you so much Heather! And thanks for the eggs!! Jess M.

55My dog Captain Rex is 10 months old and was attacked when he was a little pup, ever since then he’s been very reactive towards other dogs so taking him to a dog park is difficult. I seen this ad on FB and checked it out. This spot is PERFECT for Cpt. Rex, it’s big and PRIVATE!! He got to run around until his legs gave out lol. We didn’t have to worry about other dogs or being to close to the street for him to bark at cars, the fence is livestock fence so there’s no worry about him getting out. I will be returning regularly as this spot was worth the 30 min drive.Angel M.

55The hour flew by and we (dogs & dog moms both) were sad to go! The girls all ran and played in the now familiar yard and then we all relaxed in the shade and hammocks for the last 15 mins. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful backyard!! Jess M.

55This is the greatest place to let your dogs off leash. My dogs are used to plenty of room to roam. However, we are at a location with no room and can not be off leash. They sniffed and explored the whole time we were there. I traveled 50 minutes to get here and plan to do so often.
The area is safe for both pooches and their mom's. There is plenty of shade and water is available. I am grateful that I have found the Painted Porch Pooch Park.REBECCA A.

FAQ about our Punta Gorda 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. 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Punta Gorda area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 68 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 13 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
