Yes, Harlings Secure Field is designed for exactly that. The field is fully enclosed and operates on a solo-hire basis, meaning your puppy has the entire 1.5 acres to themselves with no distractions from other dogs. Owners we hear from regularly use it for early recall training and building confidence in young or rescue dogs. The lush Devon grass underfoot and total privacy make it a calm, controlled environment for learning.

Owners we hear from value the total seclusion and privacy, many use it to build confidence in anxious dogs or to give reactive dogs a safe space to decompress and exercise off-lead without stress.
