About Chichester Secure Dog Activity Park & Training Centre

Chichester Secure Dog Activity Park & Training Centre offers a private dog field and natural freshwater swimming pool on a five-acre countryside site, just ten minutes' drive from Chichester city centre. The facility operates on a solo hire basis, so each session is yours alone, whether a 50-minute walk or a 45-minute swim, giving reactive, nervous or rescue dogs the freedom to explore and exercise off-lead without meeting other dogs or people. The walking field includes nature trails, a shaded woodland area, and tree stumps that double as sensory weaves. The natural freshwater pool is consistently praised by visitors, many of whom describe it as clean, well designed, and stocked with toys. A covered changing room with seating makes post-swim drying and tidying easier, and there's a tap along the walking route. Onsite parking for up to eight cars is available and convenient. The site also backs onto a nature reserve, adding to the rural feel. Owners mention how well the facility is kept and the personal service; one notes the team calling to check in when a booking is missed. Dogs of all swimming abilities are welcome, from nervous first-timers learning at their own pace to confident swimmers who charge straight in. The combination of private hire, generous space, and both land and water activities makes this a highly regarded private dog field in West Sussex, with a near-perfect Google rating.
