Frequently Asked Questions About Widget’s Farm Secure Dog Field, Frome

What size are the dog fields at Widget's Farm Secure Dog Field in Frome, and how long can I hire them for?

Widget's Farm offers two solo-hire fields near Frome: a 3-acre Paddock Field for 30-minute sessions and a larger 7-acre Training Field for 50-minute sessions. Both are private hire, so you'll never overlap with another dog. The fields are enclosed by 5ft fencing. Owners tell us the half-hour slot in the smaller paddock is ideal for a quick morning run, while the fifty-minute session in the training field gives nervous or high-energy dogs plenty of time to decompress. From around £6 per 30 minutes, confirm current rates when booking.

Is Widget's Farm Secure Dog Field suitable for reactive or nervous dogs?

Absolutely. The private, solo-hire setup at Widget's Farm has proven particularly popular with owners of reactive and anxious dogs in Somerset. We hear from customers that the distraction-free meadow setting allows nervous dogs to relax properly, one owner of a dog-reactive pet described it as their most relaxing holiday ever, while another with a nervous, barky collie appreciated the seclusion and lack of neighbouring dogs. The privacy means no chance encounters, which helps anxious dogs build confidence off-lead.

What facilities are available at Widget's Farm Secure Dog Field near Frome?

You'll find on-site parking at Widget's Farm, which owners say makes drop-off straightforward. The fields themselves are set in peaceful Somerset countryside with views of the surrounding hills. There's a paddling pool for dogs during warmer weather, and the site also offers puppy training courses in a small barn and outdoor enclosed areas. Several customers mention the rural, secluded setting, deer and hares are often spotted, which adds to the calm atmosphere for nervous dogs.

Can I use Widget's Farm dog fields in Frome for puppy recall training?

Yes, the private hire format at Widget's Farm is well-suited to puppy training. The 7-acre Training Field, in particular, gives you fifty minutes of distraction-free space to work on recall and socialisation without other dogs present. The site also runs a six-week beginner puppy course that covers everyday training methods, confidence-building activities, and tasters in agility and scent work, all taught in the barn and outdoor fields. Owners report good telephone and message support throughout.
