You will usually have been given a card by your vet or breeder when your puppy was vaccinated initially. Your dog should have annual boosters and this card should be updated when that happens. If you don't have this card, your vet can usually email your records through to you and you can show this as evidence instead.

No, male dogs do not need to be nutered to attend play sessions. We do ask you keep a close eye on them though and stop any frisky business from happening, relentless humping will unfortunately result in you being asked to leave.

If your bitch is in season we would reccommend you dont come to our play sessions as this can cause other dogs to act out. We would ask that you make sure their season is fully over before returning. 

You can book a one hour slot via our website - it’s important to book so that we can manage the number of visitors. This gets you access to the dog park and all the activities for that hour.

We have a custom-built fort with ramps and a tunnel, a range of dog agility equipment, including hurdles, a 4m dog beam, and slalom poles. We also have a sand pit, tugging hangmen, a variety of toys, balls, tug ropes, and our scent-sory corner has lots of dog puzzles and games for the dogs to explore.

There will be treats for sale and plenty of toys for your dog to play with, however if you would prefer to bring your own toys or training treats, you are welcome to. If your dog is a resource guarder, it’s best not to bring any favourite toys. Please do not bring in dog food other than training treats otherwise you might find yourself surrounded! You should also ensure that it’s been at least an hour since your dog has eaten so that they’re not running around on a full stomach. There will always be clean drinking water available in the park.

Our water bowls, toys and floors are deep cleaned daily with pet friendly disinfectant. If your dog has an accident, we have sprays and cleaning materials for you to clean up after them and to discourage any marking behaviour. We ask that you encourage your dog to go to the toilet outside before coming into the dog park and of course, please always clean up after them outside.

We don't run our own training classes; however, we have wonderful trainers who use our venue for their training classes. They use non-aversive, positive reinforcement training methods to teach your pup so you can be safe in the knowledge that your pup will always be treated with patience and compassion.

Yes we do! You can hire the hall the same as the dog trainers do; we will need proof of valid business insurance.
