Field Rules

Field users do so at their own risk. No responsibility can be taken for any incidents within the field. Vehicles and contents are left at their owner’s risk. 

 

Entering and Leaving the Field

  • Please do not arrive any earlier than 5 minutes before your session start time.
  • Please ensure that you have left the field and loaded your dogs before the start of the next session.
  • Please drive slowly and carefully up the drive to the field.
  • Please wait until the previous user has loaded their dogs into the car before getting your dogs out.
  • Please do not exercise your dog outside the secure field area and keep your dog on the lead until you are within the boundary fencing with the gate closed.
  • Please make sure the field gate is closed immediately upon entering and leaving the field.
  • Children must be always supervised by an adult.
  • Please do not climb on fencing, gates, trees, or dog play apparatus.
  • No subletting of the field. We welcome dog trainers and dog walkers in our field, but arrangements must be made in advance.
  • Do not allow dogs to dig in any area. Not only may this cause a trip hazard, there are stones under the ground that would irritate paws if dug. 
  • Prong collars, shock collars, spray collars and choke chains are not permitted.
  • We will not tolerate any mistreatment of dogs, including using physical force against them and anyone using such methods will be banned.
  • Note that our field is a natural landscape and therefore you may encounter parts of the field that are not level, plants, trees, stony soil type, shrubs and branches. We have taken every precaution to keep the field safe and perform regular checks. We are not liable for any damage or injury. 

Waste and Litter

  • Please provide your own biodegradable poo bags and use the bin provided to dispose.
  • If you notice any poo that has not been picked up by another user, please place a cone next to it so that we can remove it.
  • Please take all litter away with you or use the bins provided.

 Parasite and Disease Control

  • All dogs using the field must be up to date with their flea and worming treatments.
  • Dogs must be fully vaccinated or be able to provide an up-to-date titre test result and be disease free.

 Cancellations

  • Cancellations can be made up until 6 hours before your booking, for which you will receive a full refund.
  • If cancelling within 6 hours of your booking, we will not be able to refund you.
  • Extensions for late arrivals will not be permitted.
  • Refunds for no-shows will not be given.
  • We reserve the right to close the field at any time and give a full refund.
  • If you wish to amend a future appointment to a different time, please cancel your original booking and make a new one. Then please contact us and we will ensure that a full refund is given for the original slot.

XL Bullies and Exempt Dogs

From 31st December 2023 new legislation has come into place regarding XL Bullies and other exempt dogs. We are pleased that our insurer has confirmed that these dogs will be able to run free in our field, but under the strict guidance below. You must not enter the premises with an exempt dog unless following each of the following rules:

  1. The dog is registered with the index of exempted dog (IED) and a copy of the life certificate is obtained and provided to us in the event of a claim.
  2. A copy of the public liability insurance certificate for the dog is obtained and provided to us in the event of a claim.
  3. The dog handler ratio is 1:1 with their handler at all times
  4. The dog is Neutered
  5. The dog is Micro Chipped
  6. The dog is muzzled at all times* - see below
  7. The field is private property with no public access passing through
  8. The field is securely fenced and locked so the dog cannot escape
  9. The dog is kept on a lead until the gate is shut when entering the field
  10. The dog is put back on a lead before opening the gate to leave the field

*The dog must be muzzled at all times until inside the field during a booked appointment, with the gate closed and locked. There must be a 1:1 handler to dog ratio. If you have more than one dog, even if not exempt there must be another handler. When these are true, the dog can run free without a muzzle.
