55Loved Kathy's place. It was a perfect large space for our boys to run and sniff. So glad to find this local gem. We went on Thanksgiving and she even went above and beyond to provide treats and a Thanksgiving dinner for the boys. We appreciate this kind and thoughtful gift. Definitely recommend! Lala X.

55Nicely maintained yard dogs to play and shaded area for me to relax. Kathy was very friendly and even pulled out a kiddie pool for my pups to cool off. Fiona C.

55We loved it here! There was a nice walk way leading up to the gate so it was easy to find. Pamela set out some toys, treats, bags, and a little pool for our dog to play in. The yard is big and has a lot of open room for the dogs to run!
We will definitely be back! :) Halen G.

55This was my first experience with Sniffspot. Even though I booked last minute the host responded quickly to my text and had directions on how to get into the backyard before I got there. I just forgot to look before I got there. She had water, toys and plenty of places to sit in the shade or sun. The fence was very secure and the yard was very clean after the hurricane. The photos of the property help very much in finding the gate and confirming you are at the right spot. Carolyn H.

55Perfect size yard for our pups to burn off some energy. Host had water, treats, toys, and poop bags available for use. Dogs loved running and chasing their Frisbee. Nice privacy fence, and we didn't hear any other dogs/people around. Erin T.

55What a lovely hidden gem! We took our 2, 3 year old Aussie pups here today as a birthday treat for them, and it did not disappoint! The property is really lovely and securely fenced, so they were free to run and explore. There were several places for them to swim as well. This was a great opportunity for our female pup to practice recall, as she tends to be a "selective listener" Our hosts were friendly and informative, and we felt very welcome enjoying their beautiful property. We will definitely be back! Rachel B.

55The photos say it ALL! Our 3 puppers had a fantastic time. They ran... and swam... and explored... and ran some more. Tongues out... tails wagging - they had a blast. Our older dog hates to be wet. Even the smell of rain will keep her inside, but she bounded right into Honey Dip and even stretched out in the little stream. 😮 The horses were away when we visited, so I am excited to see how they react to them when we return. We will definitely be back. Hope S.

55Fully fenced, natural area complete with three ponds. Quite a bit of space for your dogs to roam in safety. Remember, this is Florida so it's hot - the bugs weren't to bad but we wore long pants. I would also suggest bug spray.Brian D.

55We found everything at canter woods to be as advertised. Tess was wonderful about communicating and we knew everything we needed to know upon arrival. Our dog Rocky had the best time investigating all the new smells and waded into the two ponds. We avoided the third pond so as not to encounter the otters!
We will be returning

55We were met at the gate and given a tour and let loose! The grounds are beautiful and our pup and the kids were tuckered out afterwards. One trip and this convinced us to be members! Having the property completed fenced allowed us to let our pup roam worry free and she splashed straight into the pond the moment she saw it. We’ll definitely be coming again!Amy L.

FAQ about our Melbourne 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.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Melbourne 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 169 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
