The History of The Retreat

I purchased the field, which I then renamed “The Retreat” in October 2016. I had been searching for a piece of land to safely exercise my own five dogs for a couple of years, when it occurred to me that other people would surely be in need of the same facility. I came up with the field name as it perfectly represented what I wanted the field to be: A safe place for dogs and owners to enjoy the beautiful surroundings with no apprehension or worry.

I have over a decade of experience with dogs, having previously run my own dog walking and home boarding service and I have looked after lots of dogs who for many reasons, could not be let off the lead safely, which caused a huge amount of stress and anxiety for the owner. This included aggression or reactivity towards unfamiliar dogs, unreliable recall and strong prey drives.

I was confident that a secure field would be of great benefit to many owners, so I decided to open my field to the public and The Retreat has gone from strength to strength over the past year.

I have developed the field further to include a small lake for swimming, there is now an agility course to enjoy and a small copse over 20 trees which I will add to each year, to have around an acre of woodland within the 7 acre field.
