Before you book

“Secure” is not one fixed standard.

No field is escape-proof for every dog. Height alone does not show whether there are gaps, weak points or safe transfers from car to field. Conditions, rules and facilities can change after our review.

Confirm directly: fencing and gates, exclusive use, time between bookings, nearby dogs or livestock, parking, maximum numbers, accessibility and any hazards. Keep leads attached while you check the boundary on arrival.

Useful comparison, without invented certainty.

  • A dated check of the operator website

Not accepted as proof

  • “Escape-proof” or universal safety claims
