Welcome to Happy Hounds Freedom Field

Owners MUST keep to their hired session time (45 minutes). The 15-minute slot at the end of the session is not to carry on using the field. This is time allowed for you to safely retrieve your dog(s), secure them into your vehicle and vacate the site; so, you do not interrupt the next booking. The location of the site is on a busy main road. There is no waiting area. Owners are NOT allowed to park on the road outside or wait in front of the deer gate.  It is strictly one in, and one out.

Equally, owners MUST not arrive early for their timed session. This will cause disruption and will prevent any person inside the field from getting out safely. People may be arriving on foot so if there is no car you can see, it still doesn’t mean you can access the field before your time.

When arriving/departing via vehicle, please ensure the deer gate is opened inwards and held right back with the stopper provided. This will ensure the gate stays open for you. Otherwise, it will shut by itself which may cause damage to the gate and vehicle.

To ensure safety, when inside the field, owners MUST NOT let their dog out of their car until the gate inside the field is closed, bolted, and the inside safety latch on. For additional security owners are also recommended to padlock themselves in during their booked session.

On departure, all dogs need to be securely back in their owner’s vehicle. The gate MUST be closed and padlocked ready for the next booked session. The gate is not to be left open and MUST be closed and padlocked ready for the next person to arrive. There is only one entry and exit site to the field which is from the main road only. Once inside the field, owners will see another internal deer gate. This is for private use only by the owner.
