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.
