FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THIS RULE WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN

(spot checks will take place both in person and via CCTV)

 

2) Please wait in your vehicle until it is your turn to use the facilities. Please be vigilant of other dogs around you and don't let dogs jump up at the fence, there may be a reactive dog in the other fields. 

 

3) You are responsible for picking up your dogs waste, but we also kindly ask if you see any poo at all, please pick it up. This way we can ensure the fields are kept clean and safe for everyone.

6) On exiting the field, please ensure you close the gate properly and always lock the gate behind you, even if someone is waiting to use the field. This will ensure only authorised access is granted.

 

7) Please leave on time when your booking is up. Bookings are for 50 mins to allow sufficient time and space to safely exit and minimise contact with other users and dogs. This is important as these facilities are intended as a safe space for nervous and reactive dogs.
