No water, field absolutely covered in dog poo, try to contact someone and the only number is for someone who used to own the field months ago! We ended up leaving half an hour early because of the state of it. Bins overflowing, flies everywhere because of the amount of rubbish. Absolutely disgusting and just not very dog friendly at all.
**NOT SUITABLE FOR REACTIVE DOGS** Good amount of space and a few obstacles. Gets very muddy and is on a hill so be careful. Website didn't mention or show how close it is to a busy road with fast cars and dog walkers (it's literally just on the road), in fact the pictures show a net to obscure the view which is no longer there. Our puppy is still learning how to behave around passing cars so we couldn't let her off the lead and only stayed about 15 minutes to train them left. There were 3 or 4 dogs that passed during this time as well, so the field would not be suitable for reactive dogs or dogs who struggle with traffic.
A great bit of land for your dogs to safely run around!! Enough space for them to go crazy, but also got a few interactive obstacles! The fences are high enough that I didn’t have to worry about his saftey, and the double gated entry just really added that extra security! One of the better secure fields I’ve used!
I’ve been using this field on and off for a year now and it gets worse every time. The field isn’t maintained or cared for, dog poo everywhere, bins overflowing and they don’t fill the water butts up. There are other places that charge less and provide more don’t waste your money. I did try to complain and get a refund but my email was ignored.
My employee and I hosted a dog training event at Take The Lead last weekend and I was so pleased with the whole experience from start to finish. The owners were so kind, friendly and responsive to messages and the park itself was absolutely enormous compared to others in the area. The park was absolutely exactly what we needed to keep 7 dogs at a good distance between each other as well as very clean and well maintained. I'd highly recommend them 🐾
