Frequently Asked Questions About Carefree Dog Walking Fields
Carefree Dog Walking Fields is hired privately by the hour, so your dog has the space entirely to themselves, owners we hear from with reactive or anxious dogs particularly value this solo setup. The paddocks are separated by a buffer gap, which prevents dogs in neighbouring sessions from distracting each other. Local owners tell us it's a calm, quiet environment that works well for confidence building and trust work, and the choice of three different paddocks means you can pick the size and layout that suits your dog's comfort level.
The Dinky Paddock, at one acre, is the smallest of the three and works particularly well for recall training, puppy work, or smaller breeds. Owners tell us it's a manageable size for building confidence without overwhelming nervous dogs. The field is fenced to 6ft or higher, and there's fresh water on tap, shelter, and seating. Sessions are an hour long and cost from around £15, confirm current rates when you book.
Each paddock has fresh water on tap, shelter from the weather, seating, and picnic benches, making it easy to spend the full hour comfortably. Owners mention mowed pathways through longer meadow areas, which encourage natural sniffing and exploration. Poo bag bins are provided throughout. Parking is straightforward, with space for two cars per session, and local dog owners tell us the site is peaceful and just minutes from Plymouth near Sherford.
Sessions are one hour long and booked for solo private hire, so you have the paddock entirely to yourselves. You can bring up to five dogs per booking, which works well for multi-dog households or professional walkers. Owners tell us the hour gives dogs plenty of time to explore, sniff, and run freely, many mention their dogs are thoroughly tired out by the end of the session.
The Wildflower Meadow, at two and a half acres, is the largest and popular for high-energy dogs, owners use it for hunting training games, agility practice, and flat-out running. The Woodland Meadow offers two acres with more varied terrain for sniffing and exploration. The Dinky Paddock suits smaller dogs or confidence work. Local feedback highlights the natural meadow environment, the mowed pathways, and the fact that the site stays in good condition even with regular bookings, as each session is capped at an hour.
