No - the field is exclusive hire for you and your own dogs (unless you are joining one of our play dates). There is a 10 minute gap between customers to ensure dogs do not meet as some can be reactive. There are no farm animals in the surrounding fields.

We have had no escapees in the 3+ years that we have been open. The fences are checked twice daily. The fences are 6ft high so, if your dog can jump this, it might not be the place for you. The fences are also buried in the ground to stop anyone digging to freedom. The gaps in the wire are smaller at the bottom so little breeds are safe too. The car park area is NOT secure so please keep your dog on lead before entering the field. Regards to safety - the field is checked twice daily and maintained to a high standard. Every step is made to made to ensure the safety of you and your dog but accidents can happen. As per our t&cs, you use the field entirely at your own risk. To help us keep it safe, please can you leave the field as you would wish to find it i.e do not leave chewed balls etc on the field as these can be a choking hazard. Covers are provided in the shed if you do not want your dog to see the ball pit/paddling pool. Please take any rubbish home with you and do not put it in the poo bin. Please wear appropriate footwear, especially when it might be wet and muddy. You are more than welcome to view the field before visiting to see if it is suitable for your woof.

Dog trainers/walkers etc are more than welcome to hire the field but their own insurance will be needed whilst here. Please contact us direct for prices/booking.
