Yogi's Field

27/07/2025

Well July has been a mixed bag weather wise, hasn't it? The dog field is still wearing it's purple summer coat, intersected with ambling mown paths for dogs and humans to enjoy and these will be mown further as the weeks progress but this week, all of a sudden, a multitude of blackberries have ripened and mushrooms have popped up in the copse. Feel free to bring a bowl and pick the higher crop. Do any of your dogs eat them straight from the hedge? Ours love to help themselves to a few and it's good for them to forage, both physically and mentally. 🐾🐾

Housekeeping notes;
Thanks to all who keep the field clean; we've picked a few piles up this last couple of weeks and will take notice of when this is happening....please ensure to clean up, it's a condition of using the field and failure to do so will mean losing the ability to visit. Again, enormous thanks to all who do so which is the vast majority and is much appreciated.

Thank you also for sticking to your times....if you arrive late you need to still leave at the end of your booked slot.

It's a max of 4 dogs and 2 cars per booking.

Check your email confirmation and ensure your booking went through.

And as ever we have made our donation to Serbia's Forgotten Paws for which I know they always appreciate much; thank you all for using the field and enabling these donations.

If you'd love to see your dog enjoy a secure field with a copse, little hideaways, wild tracks and paths through wildflowers, just drop and email to [email protected] and we'll get you set up to use the online booking system.

Pics are this afternoon, Howie (poor recall, endless energy), Yogi (poor recall, destructive indoors if not allowed some off lead time), and their pal, Alfie (lead reactive), enjoying their free run in the field.

Hello Everyone,

A quick polite reminder to please ensure you pick up after your dog; it's a condition of using the field and keeps the environment clean and pleasant for everyone.

A big, huge thank you to all who already do so, and even more to those kind souls who clean up after others, you rock!

The field is checked every day and repeat offenders will not be able to rebook.

Thank you for your understanding, much appreciated by us, the grandkids, and the dogs 🐾🐾

It appears that the road has been closed for resurfacing, we're accessible from the Benenden end and closed past us, down the hill towards Cranbrook. 🐾🐾

Phewwwww is everyone warm enough? 😎
We've just got in from the field this afternoon and we're very grateful for all the natural shade.🌳🌳
Yogi enjoyed wandering through the copse and Howie went from tree to tree trying to spot a squirrel. After cleaning up after them I had a sit on the bench (also in the shade!) and enjoyed watching the butterflies.🦋
This time of year the field is carpeted in grasses, white clover, and you may have noticed all the purple Prunella, also known as self-heal. As the name suggests, it is said to have healing properties and is very fitting in our beautiful field where all dogs can find the space and safety to enjoy being wild and free....or indulging in some training!

However you use the field we are grateful for your visits which help sponsor dogs that cannot be rehomed and we've sent our monthly donation, thanks again.

Please continue to keep the field clean and to adhere closely to your timeslots (cameras let us know who is arriving/leaving, and when), much appreciated.

If you'd like your dog to experience Yogi's Field for either 30 or 60 mins, 7 days a week just drop an email to [email protected] and we will get you set up to use the online booking systems.

Have a cool July!

Hello all, hope you're all well?
The field has now had a mow and is looking as fresh and gorgeous as ever.

The weather has been a bit more mixed and yes, we did need that rain didn't we?! A question that comes up is whether we have shade in the field and as you can see in the video we have a natural small copse as well as mature trees both in and surrounding the 2 secure acres, so there's always shade to be found by humans and hounds alike.

The copse is also full of hidden paths and hollows, perfect for curious noses and dog legs that will benefit from either a careful inspection (like Yogi), or a charge about (like Howie).

Far more than just a dull mowed paddock, the field is an adventure for dogs and a great place to hide and test their recall....which if it isn't there is not a problem when they're safely inside the fence (Howie and Yogi!).

Thanks for visiting everyone, and if you'd like to become a visitor just drop an email [email protected] and we'll get you set up.

Thanks for sticking to your slot times and cleaning up after your dog, much appreciated.

As always we have sent our sponsorship money to Serbia's Forgotten Paws for Rika and friends, our sponsor dog. Thanks again, look forward to welcoming you soon.

Good Morning!
How is everyone doing now that Spring has properly arrived?
The field is full of blossom, bluebells, primrose, forget me nots, and many more wild flowers as well as some wild and carefree dogs having the time of their lives, running free, training, and relaxing.
I know that many of you, like me, love to sit on the bench and take it all in. Those who are fairly new to the field are in for a treat as we head into the warmer months, it really is glorious and the dogs just love it. We hope you do too. 🪷🌼🌺🌹🌸🌷❇️🌳🌳

We have sent our donation for our field sponsor dog which helps to feed the dogs in the shelter. Thank you so much for helping us support Serbia's Forgotten Paws it means so much.

Housekeeping;

Thank you for keeping the field clean and for keeping to your times. Don't forget to check your emails for your booking confirmation and do message me if you've any queries, always happy to help.

If you'd love your dog to enjoy a beautiful, natural, wild 2 acres just drop me an email to [email protected]

Have a terrific May!

Morning, just to let you know that overnight the water board has closed the road almost outside Yogi's field due to a burst water main. We are accessible from Benenden cross roads as normal. People are squeezing through coming from the Cranbrook end but that may not be safe and the workmen may return at some point and close it off again to finish the job. Just wanted to let you know in case you need to allow more time for your journey.
We are fully accessible as normal from Benenden

And all of a sudden it's March!
Hope you're all well?
The little wild primrose are just starting to pop up in the field and the bluebells won't be far behind although it was a bit of a soggy February wasn't it?!
Yogi is now keener to stroll around the field with the sun on his back. He is getting quite stiff in those poor back legs of his but still enjoys a slow saunter to check the fence and sniff out any new smells. Howie is like the Duracell bunny no matter what the weather! Hope your dogs are ready to bounce around off lead in the safety of the field and soon we will be able to ditch the towels and muddy paws!

If you'd like your dog to spend 30 or 60 mins off lead to train or play just drop an email to [email protected] and we'll get you set up to use the online booking system.

Thanks to everyone who has visited this month, we've sent our donation to our field sponsor dog at Serbia's Forgotten Paws , check out their page for appeals and pups.

Thank you all for keeping the field beautiful and clean and for keeping to your times etc.
There's a new sign to park in front of, if we can just ensure to keep the lane at the side obstruction free, many thanks.

Video is of the field yesterday morning in the glorious sunshine.
