Your booking confirmation email will include:
- Field address
- Booking date and time
- Gate access instructions
- Gate code
Please check your confirmation email before travelling.
You will receive a reminder 24 hours before your booking.
Can I arrive early?
Please do not enter the car park or field until your booking time begins and the previous customer has fully left the site.
This is especially important for customers with nervous or reactive dogs.
What if I arrive late?
Unfortunately, your session cannot be extended if you arrive late, as we need to keep bookings running on time for all customers.
What should I bring?
We recommend bringing:
- Water for your dog
- Dog poo bags
- Towels during wet weather
- Toys or training equipment if required - Please ensure any broken toys are disposed off
Some fields have limited shade and water, particularly during warmer weather.
How far in advance can I book?
You can book up to 3 months in advance.
During Your Visit
Do I need to pick up after my dog?
Yes, please pick up all dog poo and use the bins provided. This helps us keep the fields clean and enjoyable for everyone.
Can I let my dog off the lead?
Yes, once inside the secure field and after closing all gates, dogs can enjoy safe off-lead exercise.
Are the fields suitable for reactive dogs?
Yes. Our private bookings and secure fields make them ideal for nervous, reactive or antisocial dogs. Please remember not to enter the car park until the previous customer has left.
Are children allowed?
Yes, children are welcome but must be supervised at all times.
Can I bring more than one dog?
Yes, multiple dogs are welcome! Please ensure all dogs remain under control and are supervised throughout your booking.
Our pricing is based on the number of dogs:
- 1-4 dogs: standard session price
- 5-8 dogs: higher session price
Please make sure you select the correct booking option for the number of dogs attending.
Is water available?
Water is available at some fields but not all. Please check the information for your chosen field before travelling.
During warm weather we recommend bringing plenty of drinking water for your dog.
Are the fields lit?
No, our fields do not have lighting, so please take extra care during darker mornings and evenings.
Can I bring rabbits or other animals?
No. Our fields are for dogs only due to our insurance requirements.
Do you do any field maintenance?
We visit each field at least twice a week to make sure everything is in order and well maintained. We understand poo is sometimes left in the field - we reiterate that this is your responsibility to tidy up after your dog.
We do try our best to clear up where we can but due to the high volume of dogs it's hard for us to maintain and take any responsibility daily.
If you visit our fields and notice any maintenance requirements such as broken equipment, full bins, fence holes etc please email info@mydogrun.co.uk.
XL Bully Dogs
Can I bring an XL Bully?
Yes, XL Bully dogs are welcome, provided owners comply with current legislation, including any requirements relating to exemption certificates, leads and muzzles where applicable.
Dogs must be registered with the index of exempt dogs (EID) and a copy of the life certificate and public liability certificate obtained and emailed to us at info@mydogrun.co.uk.

Can I move my booking if the weather is poor?
Please contact us and we will do our best to help, although changes are subject to availability.

Safety & Respect
