Is Dogs Go Doolally suitable for puppies and dogs with poor recall near Nottingham?

The field copes well with moderate rain and remains usable year-round, though owners confirm it does become muddy after sustained wet spells. A couple of areas can develop standing water, which some dogs enjoy splashing through. Wellies are strongly recommended during wetter months. Once waterlogged, it can take a few weeks to drain fully, but the size of the paddock means there's still plenty of dry space for most dogs to run and play comfortably.

You can book solo hire for exclusive use, which is ideal for reactive or nervous dogs that need space away from others.

The flexibility suits a range of needs, from owners practising recall privately to those wanting their dog to play with familiar friends. The field's spacious layout gives every dog room to move, whether alone or in a small group.
