About Houndsville Secure Dog Field, Wellington

Houndsville is a 4.5-acre private dog field in Wellington offering exclusive-use, off-lead exercise for dogs that need space away from other dogs.

Houndsville is well regarded across Somerset for helping dogs relax, especially those who struggle in public spaces. Owners of dogs with an irresistible prey drive describe it as the best secure dog field they've found, while others appreciate being able to let their dog off the lead without worrying he'll run off or another dog will appear.

The space works well for senior dogs, bitches in season, dogs recovering from surgery, and puppies learning recall. Sessions are bookable year-round, and lighting means the field can be used in darker months too. Houndsville gives dogs the freedom to be dogs in a private, calm setting where owners can relax and let them roam.
