The Dog Paddock is ideal for puppy recall practice. The fully enclosed field with 6ft-or-taller fencing gives you while your pup explores off-lead, and the varied surfaces and equipment provide plenty of distractions to test commands. A Border Collie puppy owner told us their pup always comes back tired and muddy after practising recall here, and another mentioned the space was perfect for letting their puppy burn endless energy safely.

The Dog Paddock has on-site parking in a gated area adjacent to the field, which owners tell us makes arrival straightforward and secure. The parking space is gated to both the road and the paddock itself, so handover between bookings is smooth. It's located in rural Derbyshire, around ten miles south-west of Nottingham, and dog owners find it easy to access even when visiting from further afield.
