55So very grateful to be able to bring my dogs to this heaven on earth.
55My Dalmatian Diana loved seeing horses for the first time, and I appreciated the courteousness of the hosts. Their detailed explanations of procedures and policies made for a smooth experience, and although my map reading skills are far from adequate, the one they provided was incredibly helpful, and they’ve thought of just about everything to ensure a safe and successful adventure with your pup. As noted in their welcome message, it would behoove you to bring insect repellent. I seem to be bit more frequently than most people, and left with only two mosquito bites after spending an hour there. Would definitely recommend!
55Love, love, love this place as always! my dogs favorite place to go
55Favorite place in the world!!!
55Such a beautiful place to take your furry friend. Love the trails and lake! Thank you again Tess and family!
55Awesome sniff spot! My dog is not a huge fan of water but she couldn’t resist the ponds!
55Just an amazing spot and host. What a huge, fun location. My dog loved every aspect of it! So much more to see. We already saw a beautiful lily pad pond, waterfalls and got to feed our apples to very friendly horses!!! Just fantastic!!
55We didn’t end up using our planned visit, as our pup was under the weather. But all the information sent beforehand was helpful in our planning. Host is very communicative.
55Excellent location. Excellent host! We will be back again!
55It’s not very often Ralph gets to be off leash and he had a blast, horses were so calm even with a little reactivity that we experienced (first time meeting a horse🤣)

Description

🚨🚨 We are brokenhearted to announce that we are closing Canter Woods Farm SniffSpot, effective October 31, 2024. We have absolutely LOVED having dogs come here for enrichment and adventure since we opened mid-2021, and we are so grateful to all of you for putting your trust in us. Unfortunately we have had a couple of safety incidents—including a career-ending attack on one of our prized jumper horses—that have made it clear we can’t continue having dogs come here. We know you’re unhappy about this and so are we. It is not a step we take lightly—we had planned to welcome dogs here indefinitely. We are remaining open to allow guests with memberships to use their accumulated unused hours, but we will not be accepting reservations from non-members after September 30. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 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 🦋

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

There is a footbridge leading to an island in the middle of one of our ponds. There is no handrail, and the boards are very soft. We do NOT recommend that you or your dog cross that bridge.

Extras

Wash that big dog outside!$7

It’s SO much easier to bathe big dogs outside! We have 2 outdoor wash stands with good drainage and hoses, rubber mats, cross-ties (basically a leash on each side of your dog’s head) and doggie shampoo available, next to the barn. Bring a towel! Thinking of becoming a member? Use of the wash stands is FREE for members 💦

Hi! I’m a piano teacher and a horse mom and a dog mom, plus I’m mom to 4 gorgeous human children and grandmom to 3! My husband Doc is retired finally from a life of near-constant travel, and I work at home. Besides our 7 horses, we keep busy with an exuberant 2-year-old black & white boxer-bully rescue named Bambi who is the World’s Best Dog🥇, a tiny 8-year-old chocolate-brown-pink-nosed “pocket pittie” rescue named Hazel (who feels she is the farm security guard 🚨), a severely abused rescue 2-year-old buff & white pitbull named Manny who is the saddest dog ever and also loves everyone, a lovely 10-year-old Great Dane soul Logan who’s also a rescue and is having trouble moving around now, a 5 or 6-year-old Great Dane named Petunia who was found homeless during Hurricane Ian in the Fort Myers area and is our farm guard dog by her own choosing, and an elderly 15-year-old chihuahua named Lola (for whom we actually paid money) who hates all of us and wants us to know it.
