Dog FieldsNear Me

Editorial Policy

This page sets out how Dog Fields Near Me sources business information, writes the prose that appears on each listing page, verifies content, uses AI tools, and handles corrections. It exists so that visitors, listed businesses, and search engines can understand where the content comes from and what its limits are.

Listing inclusion criteria

A business is included in this directory if it meets all of the following:

  • Has an active Google Business Profile, operating website, or booking page
  • Operates in the UK (verified via address and UK bounding-box coordinates check)
  • Is a hireable dog walking field (an enclosed paddock you book to exercise your dog) — not a public park, daycare, or trainer without their own field
  • Is not flagged as “permanently closed” on Google
  • Has at least one verifiable contact method (phone, website, booking link, or email)

Off-topic businesses (public dog parks, daycares, kennels, groomers, dog walkers and trainers without their own field, etc.) are filtered out at multiple stages. Fields outside the UK bounding box (latitude 49.0 to 61.5, longitude -8.7 to 2.1) are filtered out. Duplicates are removed carefully — note that one farm can run several separate paddocks, which we keep as distinct fields.

Where listing data comes from

Each listing's factual data — name, address, phone, hours, website, Google rating, review count — is sourced from public business profiles, primarily Google Business Profile via the Outscraper data provider. We do not invent contact details or operating hours.

Each field's website or booking page is crawled (where one exists) for additional context: fence height and security details, field size, session length, prices, solo-vs-shared hire, facilities, and opening hours. Google reviews are scraped from the public profile and used as input to our content-generation step (below).

🛡️ Security and safety details

For a secure dog field, the fence is the whole point — a reactive dog or an escape artist depends on it. We treat fence height, double-gated entry, and “fully enclosed” status as safety facts, not marketing copy. These are only ever displayed when the field's own website or booking page states them, and every such value is held with the supporting quote on record. We never infer a fence height from a photo, a field's name, or its general vibe. Where a field doesn't publish a detail, we show it as unknown rather than guess. Reviewer comments about security are treated separately as soft signals and are never used to assert that a field is secure.

How prose is written

Field pages contain several distinct prose blocks: a description, themed review excerpts, and frequently-asked questions with answers. These are drafted using Anthropic's Claude AI (Sonnet and Haiku models, batch API). Each prompt is constrained as follows:

  • Source-grounded. The model is given the field's factual data, the full text of recent Google reviews, and the website crawl extract — and instructed to ground every specific claim in that data.
  • No unverified security claims. Descriptions may only state a field is fenced, enclosed, or secure to the extent the field's own information supports it. This is enforced by a dedicated post-generation safety audit that strips any security claim not backed by extracted evidence.
  • British English. Spelling follows UK conventions (licence, organisation, colour, metre).
  • No exact decimal ratings in prose. Where the underlying review average is high, prose says “highly rated” rather than e.g. “4.8 stars” — the literal rating appears separately in the page's data display.
  • Banned filler. Phrases that signal generic AI output (“in conclusion,” “comprehensive,” “seamless,” “goes above and beyond,” etc.) are filtered out by post-processing scripts.

Verification and limits

Where we say a business is “known for fast response,” “handles same-day callouts,” or similar, that characterisation is grounded in the public Google reviews of that specific business — typically multiple reviews on the same theme. We use the editorial “we” voice common in directory and review writing; this reflects that the directory has read and synthesised the public review evidence, not that we have personally interviewed each business.

We do not claim to have personally inspected each listing's premises or verified specific job outcomes. Where a listing's Why Choose or FAQ mentions specific people's names, those names come from the business's own Google reviews or website. If you spot something inaccurate, see the correction process below.

Update frequency

Listings are refreshed periodically — typically every 3–6 months — to pick up new reviews, ownership changes, and businesses that have closed. Major data refreshes are timestamped in each listing's schema and reflected in the page's “last updated” metadata.

Corrections

If you operate a business listed here and want to correct or update the information, or if you're a customer who's found something inaccurate, please send the correction via the contact form with:

  • The business name and the URL of the listing
  • What needs to change
  • For business owners: a verifiable identifier (email at the business domain, phone match, or business owner verification through Google)

Corrections to factual details (phone, hours, address) are typically applied within 48 hours of receipt. Corrections to the descriptive prose are applied at the next data-refresh cycle unless the correction is urgent or relates to a specific factual error.

Removals

Listed businesses can request removal at any time via the contact form, sent from a verifiable business email or with equivalent identity proof. Removals are typically actioned within 7 days.

Conflicts of interest

Listing in this directory is free. We do not charge businesses for inclusion, for placement, or for more favourable coverage. A listing's position and the prose on its page are driven by its public data — Google rating, review volume, and recency — not by any payment. Business owners can claim or correct their listing at no cost via the contact form.

This directory is supported by display advertising. We show ads served by third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense; those ads are labelled and selected by the ad network, not by us. The presence of an ad does not mean we endorse the advertiser, and advertising revenue does not influence which businesses are listed, how they are ranked, or what their listing says.
