Woodland Dog Field Rules

Please observe these rules to help ensure that all owners and dogs enjoy their visit.  Please be considerate to others, particularly when unloading and loading your dogs.     

Before you arrive

You use the field at your own risk. Please take care when using the field as we aren’t responsible for any incidents within the field or car park area.

Entering and Leaving the Field

  • Please do not arrive any earlier than 5 minutes before your session start time
  • Wait for the previous user to load their dogs into their car and drive out of the car park before you drive into the car park.
  • Keep your dogs in the car or on a lead until you are within the secure fenced area with the gate closed
  • Ensure that you have left the field, loaded your dogs, and driven out of the car park before the start of the next session. Please remember that your time slot includes the time to load your dogs into the car

Safety and Maintenance

  • This is a natural woodland environment and it has areas of undergrowth and uneven ground. While we have defined paths through the wood and perform regular checks to keep the field safe, it is advisable to wear suitable footwear.
  • Children must be supervised by an adult at all times
  • Please do not climb on fencing, gates or trees
  • Please bring your own water for your dogs
  • It is the field users responsibility to ensure that they act within the law relevant to the breed of dog they bring

Waste Management

  • Please bring your own poo bags and dispose of them in the provided bin
  • In a woodland environment, poo may be difficult to see so please be vigilant
  • Please take all litter away with you
  • If you find another dog’s poo in the field please would you mark it with a cone.

Parasite and Disease Control

  • Dogs must be up to date with their flea, tick and worming treatments
  • Dogs must be fully vaccinated

Booking Policies

  • Cancellations are accepted up to 6 hours before the booking for a full refund
  • No refunds for cancellations within 6 hours or for no-shows
  • Late arrivals will not receive extensions as it would not be fair to the next booking
  • We reserve the right to close the field at any time with full refunds provided.

Disclaimer

  • While we ask that all dogs are vaccinated, it cannot be guaranteed that every owner has had their dog immunised, therefore the risk of infectious diseases is the same as going for a walk with your dogs. This is the same for natural issues such as grass seeds and ticks.
  • Please remember this is a natural woodland and has areas of uneven ground. We are not responsible for any damage or injury to users or their dogs.
