55This place is amazing and SO perfect. There is a beautiful mix of both sunny and shaded areas. My 2 dogs are 9 & 12 lbs and were able to be completely off leash even around the horse paddocks.
We just moved to Vero (2 weeks ago), and I've been super stressed about not having a nice place to walk our dogs off leash.
It was clean, quiet, and filled with lots of ear bounces!
I'm already looking at my calendar to schedule our second visit. :-) THANK YOU!Nikki V.

55Heavenly ! We drove two hours to bring 4 of our dogs to canterwoods farm and it was great! Just so beautiful and so much land. The dogs were so happy. The horses were lovely and very friendly. The map was easy to navigate too and I'm fairly challenged when it comes to directions. The hosts were so informative and helpful. The water was fun and we felt safe. Just remember to bring poop bags because we didn't see any dispensers (just garbage cans) which is totally fine! Overall I definitely recommend this spot! It was so much fun. Thank you so much for having us!! 🐾❤️Tabatha M.

55We love this place and had so much fun!! It’s very beautiful too. The horses were really good tempered when we pet them! We spend most of the time around the ponds and our dog loved jumping into the water! Definitely recommend it to anyone who looks for a place to let their dog go exploring off leash!QC Y.

55Great place to take your dog, plenty of space for your dogs to run/play. They have plenty of shade/seating areas incase you or your dog get tired from all that playing, they have a nice water area for dogs to take a swim, and 3 beautiful VERY friendly horses. ( If your dog has never been introduced to horses I would just be extra careful because the white horse pen has a little opening that your dog could squeeze through and run into the pen like mine did. It may seem scary at first but just remain calm and quickly go in and remove your dog. Trust me the horses will not bother you or purposefully hurt your dog! They will only defend themselves if necessary)
The owner is super nice and responds quickly if you have any problems.
Love this place will definitely be coming back!Sabrina V.

55It truly is a perfect place for dogs to run around! We have two littles that hate water and would never go in the pool or any water whatsoever… well, they both swam in the pond, we had to give them a bath when we came home.. they are sleeping on the couch right now, exhausted. They absolutely LOVED it and so did we! Planning on coming back soon!Leona Y.

55Absolutely wonderful! A fantastic find in our own backyard. Tess, the owner, is extremely kind and thoughtful. The property is secure, grounds are immaculately clean with thoughtful guests picking up after their pets. We had two small dogs with us. They loved being near and going into the small dog pond and we enjoyed sitting and looking at the water lilies. It was the first time my adopted pet has run free since I got him 9 months ago. He loved every minute of it. We plan to return next week and do it all over again. Thank you, Tess, for opening your farm and allowing our dogs just to be dogs. They ran, played, fetched and were exhausted on the way home. It could not have been a better experience.Sharon W.

55My friend Lizzie and I love to take our dogs to Canter Wood. The property is beautiful, clean and well maintained. Her dog can't wait to get to the little dog pond where mine has no interest. Mine will run after her dog when Lizzie throws a ball. They get so much exercise that both fall asleep in the car on the way home. For both dogs it is the best part of their week.Sharon W.

FAQ about our Vero Beach dog hiking trails
Are dog hiking trails safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?
Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog. You can also filter by size if you are looking for a certain acre park, an expansive off-leash dog park. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog hiking trails. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog hiking trail?
In order to hike the trails, we require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot hiking trail at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
