Today is going to be a beautiful day ๐ŸŒž and looking good ๐Ÿ‘ all weekend..yippee!
I'll try and get the grass cut โœ‚๏ธ again tonight.

A few points to remember when visiting the field ๐Ÿ™.

๐Ÿพ It's a safe place, calm and relaxed for owners and their dogs so please be patient and wait until the person before you is out the field before you get your dog out the car ๐Ÿš—.

๐Ÿพ Poo picking has really improved...so Thank you! Always keep an eye on your dog ๐Ÿ•.

๐Ÿพ All rubbish ( coffee cups/ litter/ broken balls ) to go in the bin ๐Ÿ—‘.

๐Ÿพ Only Arrive 5 /10 mins before your appointment, no need to come too early โฐ๏ธ.

๐Ÿพ I know it's a Natural thing for dogs to do but please don't let your dog dig holes in the field.

๐Ÿพ Be mindful of the person who is booked in after you and be out the field on time ๐Ÿ™‚.

Have a great day everyone.

Look ๐Ÿ‘ What's NEW in the field today ๐Ÿ‘€.
Some new pieces of equipment!

Great for taking photos on or if your dog likes being a bit higher to see what's going on In the field , these are perfect ๐Ÿ’š.

DogGo was the first customer to use them and they got the Paws ๐Ÿพ Up from the group!

Thanks to Papa Andy and my youngest son for painting them and putting artifical grass on top.

Please remember that agility tunnels, jumps and the new additions are only for dogs...NOT for children to climb on! ๐Ÿ™

It is your responsibility to ensure your dog is safe in the field at all times.If your dog is of a smaller size keep a hold of them as we don't want any accidents. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ˜„.

๐Ÿพ Over the last few weeks I have had more and more customers meeting up in the field..which is great!
A reminder that NO more than 3 cars ๐Ÿš— per 1 hour booking.

Recently I had 4 cars/6 dogs booked in for 30mins...that's only ยฃ1.75 per car ๐Ÿคฃ.

Thanks very much.

11/07/2024

Firstly, I apologise for the first photo ๐Ÿคข but I have to show what I am finding on a nearly daily basis when I check the field at 8pm.

Yesterday I found soil in a straight line ๐Ÿค” as I looked there was POO ๐Ÿ’ฉ underneath! So someone saw their dog ๐Ÿ• poo and covered it with soil instead of picking it up ๐Ÿ˜” .
OR the customer was not watching their dog and another customer covered it up to prevent standing in it ๐Ÿ™„.

I pride myself and my field in being THE best field in the area.

๐Ÿพ It's FULLY secure

๐Ÿพ I try and keep the grass ๐ŸŸฉ cut on a regular basis

โ˜•๏ธ Tea / coffee area is cleaned every morning

๐Ÿ—‘ Bin is cleaned and bag changed every night

๐Ÿšฎ I pick up any litter I find

โฐ๏ธ I set up the field EVERY morning and check EVERY evening ๐ŸŒƒ...There's no one else who helps me...just me!

๐Ÿ˜„ I am always helpful and friendly and Try and meet as many customers as I can when I am at home ๐Ÿก

BUT more often I am getting rather frustrated with the minority of Customers who don't keep an eye ๐Ÿ‘ on their dogs.

My prices have been the same for nearly 4 years and I appreciate my regulars who pick up the odd poo / tennis ball that is left but if you Hire the field it's YOUR responsibility to pick up poo, litter, toys and keep the field Clean & tidy throughout the day ๐Ÿ™.

If your dog has runny poos / upset Tummy...DO NOT bring them to the field as other dogs may get ill. Send me a message and I will be more than happy to swap your booking to another day.

I love running the field and seeing dogs enjoy their time off lead and I have always had amazing feedback from NEW customers about how Kirkgunzeon Canines is the best field. Which is amazing ๐Ÿ‘.

I have already bought 3 Paddling pools and put 2 agility jumps and 2 tunnels in the bin since June.

The equipment is for dogs..not for children to use/ jump on . The poles are not to be used at play sticks and not to be chewed by dogs ( yes, I've seen this happen various times!).

Again, I am sorry to have to write โœ๏ธ a not so pleasant post but I felt I had no option but to remind Customers to be understanding that this is MY ( Emma) Business...not a big company with lots of staff ๐Ÿ˜Š. Just Me ๐Ÿคฃ.

Hope you can all understand ๐Ÿ™ โค๏ธ.

My oldest dog Nala had her reading glasses on last night ๐Ÿ‘“ and she was reading out "The Rules of the field" ๐Ÿคฃ. I thought I would share them as a reminder ;

๐Ÿš— Park in the space closest to the field gate ( if it's avaialble)

๐Ÿ• DO NOT approach the gate to my garden to talk to the
dogs. ( they are friendly but are getting more and more reactive)

๐Ÿถ DO NOT take your dog over to see my dogs either โœ‹๏ธ

๐Ÿ’ฉ Always keep an eye on your dog in the field so you can see where they are doing the toilet ๐Ÿšป. Pick it up

โ˜•๏ธ If you have a cuppa please put all cups / tea bags in the poo bin and use a wipe to clean the surface after u have made a cuppa

โšฝ๏ธ Collect all toys you use and put in grey basket

๐Ÿš— Keep your dog in the car until the person before is out the field

โฐ๏ธ Dont arrive too early for your appointment. 5 /10 mins is perfect

๐Ÿ’งIf the Paddling Pool is out Please don't move it, if it needs filled up with fresh water just let me know!

Thanks for taking the time to help Nala ๐Ÿพ with the rules!

A photo of myself giving Margaret ยฃ648!

Money from "Big Doggy Day Out", Tin from "The Pup Hut" and money from my shop Raw Meats and Treats .

A HUGE Thank you to all my wonderful customers for donating spare change and supporting this wonderful charity. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Some lovely visitors over the last couple of days to Graham and Margaret's house in Kirkgunzeon all of whom came bearing gifts. Firstly, Matt from Damhead Kennels up at Tinwald dropped in with ยฃ145 made up from some sales and donations into our charity tin. Then Julia and Robert from Dalbeattie dropped in with ยฃ26.50 from an event they attended to raise funds for DCGR. Lastly, Emma Maxwell from Kirkgunzeon Canines dropped by with the DCGR Charity bucket she has in her shop (the excellent Raw Meats and Treats), the DCGR Charity Tin she has in her Freedom Field AND a donation from the Big Doggy Day Out she helped run at Ringford on the 16th. Total from Emma was over ยฃ648!! As a result of what these lovely supporters have done, over ยฃ820 will be banked tomorrow.
As you all know, DCGR is run by volunteers so every penny will be used to further our mission in finding homes for ex-racing greyhounds.
Thank you to Matt, Robert, Julia and Emma for your most excellent work.
Picture shows DCGR volunteer Margaret Hill receiving the "goodies" from Emma

** EDIT...Just spoke to workers on the road.
Its open coming From Dumfries but Closed from Dalbeattie today. Detour is via Haugh of Urr / Back road to Kirkgunzeon **

Signs were put out recently informing road users that the A711 from Dumfries to Dalbeattie will be closed today, Wed & Thurs.

Unfortunately, all it states is its still OK ' for local use' ?

If you have booked the field over the next few days please allow an extra 10mins to get to the field.
( not sure yet exactly where it is closed or if there will be a detour)

Will update page when I know a 8am.

A huge Thank you to Pete, from Skinner's for kindly donating a 15kg bag of Field & Trial Lamb & Rice as a raffle prize for our Big Doggy Day Out next Sun 16th June at Barstobrick, Ringford.

He also gave me LOTS of FREE samples of Skinners Wet Food, Treats and their brilliant Energy Bars! ( Ideal for Agility Dogs and Working Dogs).

Please pop into Raw Meats and Treats if you are visiting the field tomorrow.

We have been feeding our Labradors on Skinners Dog Food for over 20 years. They will be trying the wet food tonight ๐Ÿ˜‹.

Good Evening ๐Ÿ˜Š

Great news ๐Ÿ‘ if you haven't already seen on the booking page the field is open 7 days a week from 8am - 8pm during the Summer. ๐ŸŒž

More time for you and your dog to enjoy stress free, secure time in the field.

Could I please ask you ALL to remember and park in the space NEAREST the field gate when it's free.
There is 3 parking spaces infront of the logstore and 2 beside my shop.
Please park thoughtfully so others can come in/out safely. ๐Ÿš—

If you are feeding your dogs treats / scatter feeding can you ensure ALL food is picked up.
Alot of dogs are allergic to certain foods and I wouldn't want to have to rush them to a vet!

I am trying to keep on top of the grass ๐Ÿ’š and try to cut it twice a week...this might not be possible if it rains.

Thank you for always supporting me and my field ๐Ÿ™. I do try and talk to as many of you as I can but since opening the shop my 'free' time is non existent ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ.

I wouldn't change it for the world ๐ŸŒ.

Mon 4pm - 7pm
Tues CLOSED

One of the best things about running the field is getting to know alot of the dogs ๐Ÿ•.
From being puppies to adults, rescues settling into new homes or energetic teenagers!

But the other side is when they pass up to the rainbow ๐ŸŒˆ bridge.

Yesterday was a bad day ๐Ÿ˜ช.
1 little girl had a tumour and another had an awful accident.
Both , no longer here ๐Ÿ˜ข.

One of the dogs..Morag has been coming for her zoomies every week since the day I opened!
She would see me in the field and sprint towards me..smiling ๐Ÿ˜Š.
I will miss her dearly.

If you want a keepsake with your pets ashes, my very good friend has a local business Forget me not keepsakes .

Please like her page or send her a message if you are wanting jewellery, tea light holders, paper weight or something special to remember your best friend ๐Ÿงก ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿถ.

If only our beloved dogs could be with us for longer.
Please give them all a big hug ๐Ÿซ‚ now from me. โค๏ธ

We are being spoiled with this wonderful weather lately ๐Ÿ˜Ž.

Please book early in advance if you want a weekend slot for the field!

Please keep an eye on your dog at all times in the field ๐Ÿ™.

Remember :

๐Ÿพ Park in SPACE 1 CLOSEST to the field gate if it is free

๐Ÿพ Pick up your dogs poo ๐Ÿ’ฉ

๐Ÿพ If you have a cuppa, put ALL rubbish in the bin

๐Ÿพ Collect any balls/toys used and put in grey basket to be washed

๐Ÿพ Don't let your dog jump up onto the shelving in the Pup Hut

๐Ÿพ If its warm...hose your dog down before a run around

๐Ÿพ When possible don't arrive too early as you will have to wait in your car for your appointed time slot

๐Ÿพ PLEASE don't come to the gate to talk to my dogs...they are friendly but they will bark

๐Ÿพ Please feel free to pop into my new shop onsite....very exciting new products coming in..just for the Summer โ˜€๏ธ

What a glorious evening ๐Ÿ˜Ž.

For those of you who don't know me Im Emma Maxwell the owner and CEO of Kirkgunzeon Canines ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿพ.

The field is a 2 acre Fully Secured Freedom field available for private hire, ยฃ5 for 30mins or ยฃ10 for an hour.

The fence is different from any other fields in Dumfries & Galloway.
I purposely designed it this way so I can guarantee ๐Ÿ’ฏ that it's safe! The fencing has been dug a foot under the ground so fantastic for escape artists.

I am very proud to say in over 3 years since I opened I have never had a dog ๐Ÿ• find a hole/gap in the fencing to get out ๐Ÿ™.

I personally check the field morning ๐ŸŒ„ and night ๐ŸŒ™.

So if you are training a puppy ๐Ÿถ, have a dog with poor recall, a rescue, a dog that's likes to be off lead or you just want somewhere to meet a friend please book online via my website or on my page.

Local Vets recommend my field to alot of their clients to help with weight loss ๐Ÿ“‰ or dogs with anxiety ( meeting other dogs) ๐Ÿ˜€.

Thank you to all my customers for sharing posts, liking ๐Ÿ‘ my posts or continually booking week in, week out.

If you are visiting the field please park infront of the logstore nearest the field gate ( space 1).
If its not free park beside the car ๐Ÿš— that's already there.

There are always lots of clean toys for you to use but if your dog chooses 1 please remember to pick it up before you leave.โšฝ๏ธ

As always, its your responsibility to pick up your dogs poo ๐Ÿ’ฉ.

Fresh water is in the field so no need to bring your own. The bowl is washed everyday to ensure its clean.

What a wonderful evening we had at The Local Pet Awards last Night ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿ’ƒ.

A HUGE Thank you to DogGo for also being a FINALIST, supporting me since we met and for making sure we all had a great time at the event. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š.

The field did not get overall winner ๐Ÿ˜” in its category.

My shop Raw Meats and Treats did not win either.

BUT it's only a piece of paper!๐Ÿคฃ

I was really encouraged with all the nominations as they were all a team ๐Ÿ‘ซ...MY field and MY shop is only ran by ME ๐Ÿ‘ฉ.

I am the receptionist, I am the poo picker, I am the voice at the end of the phone, the person who messages you, I am the person who had the dream and made it come true ๐Ÿ‘, I am the book keeper, The stock controller, the merchandiser... just me.

So when you book the field or pop into my shop YOU are helping my wee businesses grow โค๏ธ and for that I cannot be prouder. ๐Ÿ’›

Thanks to my wonderful Husband, Greig for coming ๐Ÿ‘จ.
He is there to fix what ever needs fixing , build something for the shop/field or listen to me when I'm feeling down ๐Ÿ˜”or having a bad day.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED. I HONESTLY THOUGHT I HAD WON!

I counted over 150 votes ๐Ÿ—ณ ๐Ÿ˜.

Here's some photos of the brilliant night ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿง‰๐Ÿ‘—

I am disappointed but I made it to The Finals to an award ceremony that is based for The Pet Industry AND one of the very few you don't have to pay for! ๐Ÿ˜•

Thanks , Emma xx ๐Ÿ™

Is Spring โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒน creeping in? I hope so ๐Ÿคž.

Today has been lovely when the sun was out. I had my 5 dogs in the field at lunchtime and had to take some photos. ๐ŸŸฆ

The grass is growing...๐ŸŸฉ. I feel like all I check every day is ...the forecast and how muddy the field is ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ.

I will be extending my opening hours, so more time for your dogs to have off lead fun in a safe & secure field.

The views ๐ŸŒ„ were stunning today from the field.๐Ÿ˜.

When I'm in my shop, I think how lucky I am to have lived here for the last 16 years. โค๏ธ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŽ.
