Our airport secure field is now closed.

Our new site will open in the new year. We look forward to welcoming you all 😍

Found some glasses in field. If they are yours, get in touch 😊

Hi all!

Just a quick heads up.

The airport has introduced parking charges in their long and short stay carparks; I have negotiated a new place to park for those of you attending classes.

For secure field users, you can now park outside the field on the hard standing. Please do not park in the hotel roadway; it is an active road.

I am hoping that I do not need to change the hourly bookings.

Please be patient. Don't park up until the space is free. Do not get your dogs out of your vehicle until the previous user has safely loaded their dogs into their car and left.

Remember there are lots of reasons why a person may be using the field, lets all be kind to each other.

Be ready to leave the field promptly at the end of your allotted time so that the next user can get in the field for their session.

Please get in touch if you have any questions :)

Happy May Day!

Lots of people and their fantastic dogs are enjoying the field which is great to see.

However, it has been brought to my attention that some people are not complying with the very simple rules.

No rubbish in the poo bin

Pick up after your dogs!

If you see a poo, pick it up

STRICTLY NO PARKING IN THE ROADWAY OUTSIDE THE FIELD.

I’m sick of saying this. It is not a public right of way, the roadway is in constant use by another business and frankly I am fed up of complaints.

If you do not want to walk the short distance from the carpark to the field, then maybe this isn’t the place for you

10/03/2021

Please do not park on the road way to the hotel.

This is not a public right of way and access is required at all times (even if you think another vehicle can squeeze past your car)

It has been brought to my attention that my customers are parking there.

All users are to park in the main airport carpark as written in the directions you receive when you book a session.

Help me out please. It’s in my contract lease that people park in the main carpark; it’s safe, secure and free and it’s a really short walk to the field.

You will not believe the number of complaints I get about this

26/02/2021

The other day someone asked me if they could use my training field (with the wooden cabin in) because ‘it’s not muddy’

Well... Piper didn’t have to play very hard to get like this 😆

The good news is that it’s set to be dry and warm so the fields will be dried out in no time and the grasses can grow long for the dogs to enjoy again 💕

26/02/2021

Lockdown has presented many difficulties, particularly when it comes to the increase in off-lead dogs. Those of you with nervous dogs are especially struggling. This post provides information on how you can support your dog and helps you to distinguish the difference between a friendly and a polite....

new online course starts on Monday 15th

20/01/2021

Heads up!

The field is really wet after all the crazy heavy rain.

Be sensible. Wear appropriate footwear and take towels to dry your dogs- who will still love it 😍

16/01/2021

Heads up!

The field is wet. It’s wet everywhere.

If you are using the field, please wear appropriate footwear and take towels for your dogs.

Someone just asked me where the grass is for the dogs to run through- it’s winter and the grass has all died back and been cut...

It will grow again and we can cut the tracks back into it.

We have cut the price of the field so that it is more accessible to people, we don’t have a face to face introduction so that we aren’t potentially spreading covid...

Someone found a key today at the field. Let me know if you lost one

27/11/2020

8am and 4pm left for field tomorrow 😊

9am, 2.30, 3 or 3.30pm left for Sunday 😊

Please do not park outside the field gateway unless you have been given permission to do so. If you have a genuine need to do so, let me know. It is part of my lease that no one parks there unless they have a very genuine need.

The main carpark is a very short walk from the field and your car is very secure there. That is the actual car parking area and I want to thank everyone for parking there 😊

The grass verge has been damaged by vehicles churning it up. I have to repair it at my cost.

Hi all

I am loving seeing all your dogs using and enjoying the field. As you know I set it up to be easy to use, and have had very few complaints from neighbours.

However, there have been a couple of instances where there have been dogs chasing other dogs along the other side of the fence; this is causing some concern to other dog walkers who walk around the airport.

I appreciate that using a secure field to exercise a reactive dog is great because your dog can have some freedom and I really love to see those dogs having fun; but you are still responsible for your dogs. You must at least attempt to call your dog away if they are barking and lunging along the fence!

If recall is something that you struggle with, I may be able to help you.

16/11/2020

It has been brought to my attention that a couple of people are still not picking up after their dogs. We have been doing really well with no complaints for ages.

This is not my favourite thing to hear about first thing in the morning.

Please can you just pick it up!

09/11/2020

We have had lots of new people using our field which is fantastic.

I often get asked what happens when you book a slot in our field....

Firstly, all our bookings are managed online; you can choose a day and time to suit you and you can pay securely by bacs or Paypal. If something comes up unexpectedly, you can also amend your booking too.

We decided during the last lockdown to reduce our prices to make the field more accessible for people and we also set it up so that you do not have to meet anyone prior to using the field; this saves me lots of time and meant that I can offer you the field at a better rate.

So, you choose your time and date, receive a confirmation with directions.

You park in the main airport carpark, you can have 3 hours of free parking and your car will be safely looked after. Our entry gate is just next to the old hotel, really close by.

Each booking is for sole use, meaning you get the whole 4 acres to yourself. Occasionally, I am in the next field with a dog but you do not need to stay away, we do not mind nosey dogs!

Right now parts of the field are pretty wet, hardly surprising with all the rain we have had. Take a towel and wear waterproof boots or wellies.

There are bins for p**p- if you see any, please pick it up (there may be a time that you miss one from your dog).

You are welcome to use the field for a full hour, we just ask that you are out for the next person.

We are fairly busy on a weekend, more so on a Saturday but we do often have space available later on the afternoons.

I love to see all your lovely dogs enjoying themselves! Keep sharing your lovely pictures and videos!

Book at www.puredogtraining.com

Our field is still open for private hire.

The whole field is nearly 4 acres and you can have it all to yourself for an hour, for £11

Still a few spaces available for the field this afternoon 😊

I’m closing this page and having all secure field info on my general page. I’m trying to streamline everything and keep it in one place.

For those people and dogs who have a challenge with recall, would you be interested in a virtual recall class?

I’m going to run my online recall class again.

It’s 6 weeks, with a new exercise each week to build focus on you, the owner and a program to follow to encourage your dog to come back to you when you call them.

I don’t offer it as a face to face class as each dog is individual and has their own thresholds and reasons for not coming back

Let me know if you’d like to join in, it does require regular input from you so that I know what stage you are at. And a bit of accountability really does help!

10/07/2020

Our new field is open.

To access it you will need a code. This will be sent to you in an email.

There is a padlock on the gate, turn the numbers and have them line up down the middle and then push the button on the bottom of the lock.

For parking, drive to the AIRPORT. Take a ticket from the barrier, YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED FOR PARKING. You get 3 hours free.

Drive straight to the bottom of the carpark and park near the pedestrian gate.

Exit and turn left, follow the footpath, our field is about 100feet on the left.

THERE WILL NOT BE ANYONE MEETING YOU. You can enter the field and enjoy it. We want to save you money and us time. We are at the end of the phone and more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Your booking is for an hour, but the time includes entering and exiting, so that the field is free for the next user at their time.

I anticipate that there may be some minor challenges in the first couple of weeks while everything is so new.

Please put any questions below and I'll answer them for everyone if appropriate

04/07/2020

Nearly all ready to open our new field!

I will do a live on my personal page (Laura Dixon) tomorrow to show you where to park and how to access the site 😍

Please send me any questions.

Feeling for those with groups of additional needs doggos getting crucified for driving to safe places to protect other people, their dogs, themselves and their own dogs from harm, despite the college of policing, NPCC and chief constables nationwide stating this is a perfectly reasonable and proportionate thing to do to ensure safety of others and themselves.

People really do suck don't they.

I bet these peeps would be the first to complain if they or their dog got injured though.

I am not suggesting that everyone sidled up to someone to take selfies in scenic areas, I'm sharing to prevent bites and fights.

Tolerance for sanctimonious bu****it vastly dropping.

I can assure you if you go to a local "it's OK he's friendly" Park with these dogs you won't be compliant with social distancing rules because a long lines snapped, some adolescent humpy pup has come over because he just wants to say hi, you are having to call the ambulance because you have been pulled over by a car chasing dog etc...

Think.

I'm lucky.

My three are fine.

For others it really isn't that simple.

College of Policing just released guidance to all police forces...

Personally I think the College of Policing and National Police Chief Council are the best placed to be answering this rather than judgey pants on fb.

This doesn't mean you can travel 3 hours to go to the beach everyday for lols - but dog bites etc and falls put pressure on the NHS and Police too.

"Use your judgement and common sense; for example, people will want to exercise locally and may need to travel to do so, we don’t want the public sanctioned for travelling a reasonable distance to exercise. Road checks on every vehicle is equally disproportionate. We should reserve enforcement only for individuals who have not responded to Engage, Explain, and Encourage, where public health is at risk."

Highlights:
- There is NO POWER TO STOP AND ACCOUNT
- You CAN TRAVEL by car to exercise (with/without dog therefore) - suggested REASONABLE distance ( 'reasonable' not defined but the legal test is usually "would the average man on the Clapham Omnibus consider it reasonable" - old case law, hence gender specific and old language)
Enforcement should be PROPORTIONATE and the LAST RESORT

Policing by CONSENT and ENGAGING & ENCOURAGING compliance BEFORE ENFORCEMENT is still required.

See post below from police if you want to read more.

Our secure field is still available during lockdown. You are highly unlikely to meet anyone at the airport. It is totally secure and easily accessible. And no, you won't get in trouble for driving up here to exercise your dog
