Dog parks are places where dog owners can let their dogs run free in a purpose-built, secure environment. These dog-friendly places provide important socialisation experiences for dogs, as well as opportunities to burn off extra energy. In dog parks, dogs can socialise with other breed types and sizes of dogs. Dog parks also allow dogs the opportunity to meet new humans which widens a dog’s horizons when it comes to making friends. Dog parks allow dogs to play and interact with other dogs, often giving them a chance to swim in a pool and play on play equipment and run around off-leash which helps them stay healthy both physically and mentally. Dog parks are perfect for puppies. They’re often a dog’s first introduction to other dogs and the perfect way for them to learn how to socialise. A dog park provides an excellent opportunity for puppies to meet new humans, different sizes of dogs and all sorts of breeds so they’re able to socialise in the widest variety possible. Dog parks offer the perfect setting for dogs and their owners to socialise with other people and dogs or they can provide that much longed-for solitude for training or a stress-free walk in a private hire session.

Dog Parks or Secure Fields are privately owned secure areas where dog owners can exercise their dogs safely off lead either in a group or on their own. Mostly commercial ventures they can be rented out by the 1/2hr or hour, or even by the day and can vary in size from less than an acre to in excess of 30 acres with several field options available. In addition to safe and secure fencing, todays secure fields are likely to have features to enhance the dogs’ natural instinct to run free and investigate their surroundings. Water ponds and wooded areas may be part of the existing landscape which create their own appeal however many park owners are finding more creative ways to make your dogs visit both stimulating and fun. These include agility equipment, tunnels, toys, even water sprays so it pays to investigate what each park offers before you book. Secure Dog Fields do one thing really well – they prevent dogs from running off where they could become a danger to livestock, individuals and/or themselves. A dog field is the perfect place to take the dog that has poor recall as this will allow them time to exercise off lead. Going to a Dog Park is a safe secure and non territorial way of introducing a new house mate giving both dogs a chance to discover each other on neutral ground and where there is space to escape each other if required.
