Frequently Asked Questions About Hounds Unleashed, Ivybridge

What session lengths does Hounds Unleashed in Ivybridge offer, and how much does it cost?

Hounds Unleashed offers 25-minute and 55-minute private hire sessions, with prices from around £7 per session, confirm current rates when booking. The shorter slot works well if your dog just needs a quick burn-off, while the longer session gives reactive or high-energy dogs more time to decompress. Bookings can be made online, and the business is known locally for being flexible with last-minute availability when slots are free.

Is Hounds Unleashed suitable for reactive or nervous dogs?

Yes, many owners of reactive dogs have found Hounds Unleashed helpful, particularly valuing the private hire and the fact that the two paddocks have 6ft fencing with double-gated entry. One reactive-dog owner told us the solo booking gave them their dog could run freely without being on edge. That said, the two enclosures sit side by side, so if your dog is highly reactive to neighbouring dogs, it's worth asking which paddock is quieter when you book.

What facilities are available at Hounds Unleashed near Ivybridge?

There's on-site parking (including space to drive right into the paddock), plus water for filling bowls, poo bags, and a picnic bench for seating. The site also has a farm shop and café, so you can grab a coffee or browse after your session. Owners we hear from appreciate the straightforward setup, it's designed for a quick, practical visit rather than a day out, though the 55-minute slot gives you time to relax if you want to.

How many dogs can I bring to Hounds Unleashed, and is there agility equipment?

You can book for up to four dogs per session, with a maximum of seven dogs per enclosure if you pay additional fees. One of the paddocks has agility equipment, which local owners say their dogs enjoy, even if it's just for a bit of variety. The two enclosures have slightly different gradients and tree cover, so you can choose the one that suits your dog's energy level or confidence best.

What's the terrain like at Hounds Unleashed in Ivybridge?

The first enclosure has a gentle slope with some tree cover, while the second has a slightly steeper gradient. Both are grassed paddocks, practical rather than landscaped, and give your dog plenty of space to run. Owners tell us the tree cover offers useful shade on warmer days, particularly in the morning. It's a straightforward, open layout, so if your dog needs obstacles or varied features to stay engaged, the 25-minute session may be the better choice.
