Our little delivery this morning! Only 600 gravel grids for the new parking area! Guess what we are doing this evening! 😂😂

With this lovely warm weather, the dogs aren’t as happy, so I’ve temporarily adjusted the opening hours to allow an extra session at 7am and one at 8pm to allow dogs to not find the heat too much. Hope this helps people. 🐶

Our extension is up! We now need to sort the parking and activities but it should be up and running in the next few weeks! Exciting times!

Our existing field is running as normal till we can get the new one into operation, so open as normal, parking as normal. 🐶

So our fencing job has been moved back Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th of May, I've reopened the 15th and 16th of may and blocked off the 26th & 27th. Sorry for the change of plans but it can't be helped.🐶

So some of you know, but we are expanding our field! It may possibly mean between mon 11th snd wed 13th there will be more activity where the expansion is going.
If you are already booked on and think this will upset your dog I’m happy to swap your session .

I have closed during Thursday and Friday day to allow them to add the new fencing wire and posts etc. It won’t be open straight away as need to sort parking and a shelter, but should be open soon. Exciting times ahead! 🐶

So I rarely moan on here but today we have been out at mayday celebrations in Ashover from 9.30 to 3.30 so not been able to check field, everything is left in shed for you to have fresh bowls, clean toys etc so the service is no less in this respect.

I have just got home and checked field and found 6 poos!

I apologise to those that had an unclean field and I must say please ensure you clean up after your dog it’s not fair on others and doesn’t show respect for the facilities we try and keep in good condition for everyone to enjoy.
