Field access
Banned & exempt breeds
How exempt dogs can use our secure paddocks, and the legal requirements you must meet.
As we are a private space that is fully secured and able to be locked, exempt dogs are able to book to walk in our paddocks. Good field practice must be adhered to, including locking the gate once it has automatically closed before your dog is released from your vehicle.
- Your dog is not to be out of the vehicle while waiting to enter the field.
- You must leave the paddock within your booked time to ensure no crossover with arriving customers.
- You must be able to show a certificate of exemption if requested.
- You must only use the field with dogs from your own household.
- You must have third-party liability insurance.
