The concept is that owners can let their dogs off-lead in an enclosed field without worrying about their dogs’ reaction to other people, livestock or wildlife or even not coming back. It also gives owners an area to train their dogs and further reinforce their training, like recall, without worrying about escape or getting into bother.
Rural setting with a secure off-lead exercising area.
Customers can book a slot online, typically 50 minutes, so they have exclusive use of the field during that time. They receive a code to allow them to unlock the gate and prevent unwanted visitors.
One of the fields that Craig uses regularly is Holme Meadow Sugnal near Eccleshall; it has stunning views set on 5 acres and has the added advantage of an inner secure parking area.
Distraction-free training is ideal surroundings to developing the recall.
Significant to puppy environmental training.
Nice social area to meet up with like-minded friends.
Puppies, elderly dogs or bitches in season.
Perfect for nervous and anti-social dogs.
Some secure dog parks are more equipped than others, so doing your research first would be an advantage. Things to consider are the space size; some are bigger than others—enrichment areas equipped with tyres, jumps, walk boards, mounds tunnels. Picnic areas offer shade or protection from a down poor. The key is that the dog owner can relax and allow their dog/s to exhibit their natural behaviour.
Training bait bag – food.
Whistle – Acme 210.5 is ideal.
