About Happy Hounds Dog Fields, Arlingham

Happy Hounds Dog Fields in Arlingham, Gloucestershire, runs two private dog walking fields designed with nervous and reactive dogs in mind. Moosie's Meadow spans 9.6 acres of grass and woodland with a natural pond, sand pit and farmyard agility course, while the smaller Vimpney's Orchard covers 3.3 acres of orchard terrain. Both fields are fenced to around five feet and fully enclosed, offering a secure perimeter for off-lead exercise. Sessions are hired by the hour for solo use, giving dogs the freedom to run, explore and decompress away from other animals and people. The fields suit rescue dogs, builds, dogs in training, and those with poor recall or recovering from injury. One regular visitor brings a rescue sighthound weekly, relishing the chance to watch the dog run free. Another owner brings a build who absolutely loves the space. The setup includes practical touches: tea-making facilities, a composting toilet at Moosie's Meadow, seating, sunshades and first aid kits. Security cameras keep an eye on the grounds. A cooling trough helps dogs settle after a run, and the varied terrain, from open grass to shaded woodland, gives different dogs different ways to enjoy their hour. With close to five stars from nearly a hundred Google reviews, Happy Hounds is one of the highest-rated private dog fields in south-west England. Owners return regularly, reassured their dogs are safe and happy.
