We monitor compliance with these rules, and reserve the right to block future bookings from anyone who has not shown respect to others or to our facility.

Rules

  • Arrival
    • Observe speed limits on site, and give priority to pedestrians
    • Do not enter the outer gate while the previous booking is still inside
    • Please don't arrive more than 5 minutes before your start time.
  • Dog poo
    • Please bring your own poo bags, preferably biodegradeable
    • Please watch your dog, then bag and dispose of their poo in the bins provided
  • Supervision
    • Your dog(s) must be supervised at all times, from within the fence
    • There must be no more than 5 dogs per handler
  • Booking changes
    • If you no longer want your booking, we cannot offer refunds
    • You can let someone else use your booking, but they must be a registered customer (to be held accountable for any misconduct)
  • Damage, loss or injury
    • You will be expected to cover the cost of any damage you cause to the facilities
    • If your dog is a digger, please make good any earthworks before leaving
    • Do not climb on the fences or gates
    • You use the dog fields at your own risk.
    • Vehicles and contents are left at their owner's risk.

Health and Welfare

  • Your dog(s) must be wormed and have all vaccinations up to date, whether on a fixed schedule or through titre testing
  • Please rinse out the drinking bowl after use
  • We have checked all the plants sown on the fields both for toxicity to dogs and for causing skin conditions. A couple would be toxic to a dog that ate a whole bag of the seeds, but none are harmful in any realistic scenario.
