The Muddy Paws Open field contains a variety of quality agility equipment for you and your dog(s) to enjoy.
The fields provide a safe and secure dog area where you can take your best friend to have a run free off the lead.
Our fully enclosed fields are perfect for off lead puppy training, recall practise, injury recovery, nervous pooches or socialising your new family member with their siblings. The fields are large open spaces with secure fences and gates surrounding them.
Within both fields there are shelters, picnic benches, dog poo bins and drinking water facility. The water tap is situated at the entrance gates and dog bowls are provided. For darker evenings we also have a floodlight on a 30 minute timer switch - the button to press this on is on the wooden dog grooming cabin at the field entrance gates.
When booking a time slot you receive exclusive use of the field you have booked, feel free to bring a couple of friends and dogs with you.
We advise that there is a maximum of 5 dogs per field per booking and animals must be supervised throughout.
Both fields have shelters, picnic tables and everything you need for a great time with your dog(s).
At least one member of each booking must be 16 years and above.
The two fields have separate entrances but communal parking area.
Please ensure you enter the correct field as per your booking; either open field or agility field.
