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.
