Thank you to everyone who has offered to help with the costs of the Planning Application. Your kindness and support truly mean a lot to us. However, morally we cannot accept any contributions, as this is our responsibility to deal with.

We really do appreciate all the encouragement and offers of help, and we’ll keep everyone updated on our progress moving forward.

Quick update for everyone:

We’ve now liaised with the Council and are in the process of submitting a Change of Use application, along with evidence demonstrating continuous use over a period of more than six years. With a bit of luck—fingers and toes firmly crossed—we’re hopeful for a positive outcome.

We’ll continue to keep you all updated as things progress. Thank you again for your many messages and ongoing support—it really means a lot. We look forward to welcoming you back soon 🥰 for anyone with pics from the beginning if u could please post them or send me them albeit they would prob need a date on them 🤔

Hi Ashley, just wanted to say a massive thank you for the last couple of years.

Taking Milo to the field has been a massive help to Claire and I. With Milo being a working cocker spaniel, we need to get his energy out and using your space has helped us more than you know.

We wanted to share a couple of shots from his last day in the field, and say thanks for all the good times we’ve had with him because of the fantastic space you’ve built for dogs in the area.

If there’s any support we can provide to a petition, or challenge to the council decision, please let us know. We fully support this space and everything it offers.

Thank you,
Ben, Claire and Milo

Guys, I just wanted to come on to say a massive thank you for all the comments on my post from near and far! I’ve been blown away by the comments, private messages offering help, advice, and even folks contacting local councillors on our behalf. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤️
​An update on where we stand: We are working hard in the background to try and reach some sort of arrangement or agreement with NBC. However, to stay on the right side of things and avoid an Enforcement Order, the field will be closing at the end of April unfortunately, as I need to follow the rules , but we’ll keep you posted on any progress. Thanks for sticking by us! Hopefully this will only be a temporary closure 😞🤞🤞🤞i cannot emphasise enough my gratitude to u all for ur support 🥰 a pic of our mascot just because 🥰

It’s with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share some truly devastating news 💔

Due to circumstances completely beyond my control, and following a decision made by the Council after a small number of complaints over the years & to date, due to the fact my field has been utilised as a secure field for dogs that are not off lead compatable, albeit, rescues, anxious, reactive, in heat, K9 Country Club will unfortunately no longer be in operation as of the end of April.

We are, as you can imagine, absolutely heartbroken. For the past 5+ years, this hasn’t just been a business — it’s been my passion and something I’ve poured my heart into every single day. Providing a safe, secure, private space where families could come and enjoy quality time with their dogs & families, meant everything to me.

To everyone who has visited, supported me, and trusted K9 Country Club as a place for you and your dogs to run free, relax, and just be yourselves — thank you will never be enough. And to all the wonderful dogs and their families I’ve had the privilege of meeting… many of you have become friends, and I will cherish those connections always.

I am so incredibly proud of what K9 Country Club has been and what it has meant to so many people especially through covid & mental health to provide a safe & relaxing environment. I only wish this chapter didn’t have to end this way.

Thank you for all the love, loyalty, and support over the years — it has meant more than you will ever know ❤️ thank u all so much 🥰 btw, whoever put the final nail in the coffin, should it be another local business, a neighbour, a farmer or whoever, i hope u can sleep in ur bed as we were doing no harm & hurting no-one & were respectful 😓😓 thank u all 💔💔❤️
