Field Rules

Please ensure that you read and fully understand our field rules below before making a booking. These rules may be updated from time to time, so please check the latest version before each booking to ensure you are familiar with any changes.

1. Use of the field is by appointment/booking only.
2. Online bookings can be made for up to 6 dogs per session. Please contact us regarding possible larger bookings.
3. Only the number of dogs booked on the system may enter the field. Dogs not included in the booking are not permitted.
4. A maximum of 2 cars permitted per booking.
5. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure their dog(s) is/are fully vaccinated, up to date with worming and flea/tick treatments, and in generally good health. Please do not bring your dog if it is showing signs of any illness.
6. XL Bully dogs must have a valid Certificate of Exemption and comply with all relevant legal requirements. They may only use the field with dogs from the same household, and there must be a ratio of one person per dog. After driving into the field, you must close and lock the gate from the inside using the padlock provided. Before unloading your dog, please check that the fencing around the field is secure and undamaged. Once you are satisfied the field is secure, you may unload your dog off-lead and unmuzzled. However, if your dog makes any attempt to escape or breach the fencing, you must immediately put the lead and muzzle back on as a precaution.
7. Please arrive at your booked session time, not before, as others may still be using the field. Bookings are for 1-hour time slots, which allows for 50 minutes walking / play time and then 10 minutes to clear and exit the site before the next hourly slot begins.
8. Should you arrive late for the start of your session, you must still exit on time.
