skills, work on training, or just throw a ball around, enjoy the view & have a good time, without someone else’s dog ruining your fun! Both fields are fully fenced & gated with approximately 4' lamb fencing & higher Cornish hedges behind. There are stunning moorland views from each field & benches & tables for your use, so that you can bring a picnic. You may drive straight into both the fields, (weather permitting!)

How do I book? The fields are available for hire, most days, from 8am to dusk. To book a field, please contact us by telephone: (01326 340627 or 07813 984662), email, or via Facebook, to arrange. Wherever possible, we advise that you book at least 24 hours in advance for a session. Alternatively, you can phone between 8.30 & 9.30 am, to see if there are any slots available for that day. For those who do not wish to come in bad weather, we would prefer you to ring on the day, rather than to book in advance & then fail to arrive. The booking is by the hour, with 50 minutes use of the field & 5 minutes each end for arrival & departure. Please ensure that you do not arrive early, or leave late, in order not to compromise other field users. Our farm is a good half-mile from the road, with our fields surrounding the house.

Whilst the field is completely fenced, we cannot ensure complete security for every dog. We are happy for you to come & visit in advance to have a look at the facility & assess its suitability for your needs. We do not use shared water or toys, for hygiene reasons, so please bring your own with you. If you’ve forgotten anything though, please do feel free to ask! We request that field users pick up dog waste, cigarette butts, bits of broken or chewed toys, litter etc & take it with you off-site. Most people are very good about this & our fields are very clean, with no hazards. We check the fields several times a day with our two terriers, who make excellent dog poo monitors, but if you come across a poo that someone might have missed, you’ll get extra points if you bag that too! First Visit? For initial sessions, please download the Beano's Ballpark Registration Form attached here, complete it & bring it with you. We will meet you on arrival & show you around. Please bring water, treats, favourite toys &, of course, poo bags! When you arrive, please leave your dogs in your vehicle while you book in. Terms & Conditions

For written instructions & maps, please see our printed directions below or on www.beanosballpark.co.uk

Had to be shared once again....The story of the amazingly scary pink
Mushroom!

Another dry day, and we've spaces this afternoon, if you haven't been for a while, and have credits to use, give us a ring. 🙂

How wonderful the mist was this morning.... Early up at Beano's Ballpark. Thank you Van Hull for sharing your photos. ###

How exciting... A dry day & the fields have been very busy with regular clients coming and going. Fortunately, Tilly isn't at all interested in the fenced fields as she much prefers to spend a lot of time in hedges around the rest of the farm! It's a trifle boring for us, but she's one very content and sleepy dog this evening!
10/01/2025
It's January.... and the deadline for getting our self employed accounts in, for the year ending 6/4/24, is looming.... We notice that there are a few clients who haven't used all their sessions..... so, we're offering them the chance to use those unused credits before the 31/3/25...'Every little helps!'.... Spaces available this weekend!
10/01/2025
Wow, the Training field has now been up and running for four years... How time flies!
05/01/2025
Tilly, looking like 'butter wouldn't melt'..... This morning, her checking of the hedges included getting stuck under some very thick vegetation: no amount of asking Tilly nicely to come back out worked! So soaking wet and with several new holes in her coat, Cath had to climb into the hedge to retrieve her!
Time for Tilly to find a new hobby - maybe she could use a secure field!
01/01/2025
Wishing all our clients. past, present and future a happy and healthy New Year. We wanted to share with you some of our favourite photos. How lucky are we now to have Tilly in our lives, to take Beano's Ballpark and all it stands for, into 2025.
We'd love to see some of your favourite photos too.....

Beano was reactive to other dogs, and he came to us as a puppy. Tilly, too seems to be very vocal in her feelings about other canines... Unfortunately, we don’t know her history, but we’re quickly finding out her likes and dislikes.
🐾😊 KINDNESS COSTS NOTHING 😊🐾
Have you ever felt the ‘glare’, the judgement & disapproval of other dog owners when your dog barks, lunges & growls at the end of their lead?
“You should train that dog” You hear as they march away from you shaking their head.
And you’re left feeling disheartened, tearful & like a failure.
And you head back to your car, with your well trained dog walking beautifully by your side.
How your dog copes with situations they may find scary, overwhelming, frustrating, exciting, frightening has no bearing on how well trained they are.
Sam can sit & wait from huge distances with lots of distractions. He walks on a loose lead. He can open doors, roll over & find a scented toy from a 100m.
He is ‘well trained’.
He also has some ‘behavioural challenges’.
He really struggles around people. If someone he doesn’t know looks at him, approaches him or tries to touch him he may bark, lunge & make himself look scary.
Training & Behaviour are very different and, to be honest, it’s not always easy as a dog owner to know what type of behavioural support or training, you and your dog need. If that’s you, please get in touch for a chat to see if I can help.
I understand how it feels to be on end of the lead, trying desperately to calm my dog whilst being stared at & judged. And if your dog’s behavioural needs require specific expertise, I have wonderful colleagues I can refer you to for that specialised help.
Please don’t dread your walks & the glares for a day longer.
And if you’re out for a walk & see a dog who’s barking, lunging & struggling to cope.
Don’t judge. Be thoughtful. Keep your dog on lead & moving past. And give the owner a quick word of encouragement; I can’t tell you the difference it will make to their day.

This year’s Christmas dinner was a little different! When Catherine Hearne realised that we were going to be without a cooker this year, she wasn’t going to see us go hungry, and immediately offered to plate up a very special lunch for us both to take home. Catherine and all her family make us so welcome, and their warmth and generosity made our Christmas.
24/12/2024
Wishing all our clients a lovely day tomorrow, whatever you may be doing. Here's Tilly's Christmas Eve ramble..🙂 she walked round the farm twice, went shopping and is now snoozing by the fire ❤️
19/12/2024
Facebook has noticed that we haven't posted anything in a while!.... We've had lots going on for us: no heating, or hot water. Rayburn not as well as it could be! (In fact, it's dead as a dodo!) Also, we have issues with our water supply and no cooker for Christmas! So if we've been slow to get back to you. that's why. With huge thanks to @ Off Grid Plumbing,Heating and Renewable Energy for helping us out of a sticky situation!

A day of sunshine and showers, and some more of the same due tomorrow, if anyone wants to rearrange, just let us know.
Here’s a rather wonderful photo of a rainbow coming out of our chimney, taken by Jo White whilst out in the fields this morning.
Ironic really, as our chimney isn’t feeling too great at the moment!

Tilly found this curious looking green item in the hedge today, whilst she was out doing her checks of where the rabbits were located. Does anyone know what it is? The nice Chuckitt ball is there to show size. :)
15/11/2024
First venture with us out into the big wide world: -.what better place than Helston Boating Lake... In this getting to know you phase, we have currently have no idea of what she knows, enjoys or finds worrying.
Soon discovered that she likes to leap onto all the benches!..
She took a fairly keen interest in the birds, but didn't end up in the lake!
Loves people and is a very enthusiastic greeter!.
She can walk and bounce on her hind legs at the same time, whilst propelling forward: hopefully we'll catch that in a video! We've yet to find out how she feels about other dogs.. one thing is for sure, we're not getting much done!
14/11/2024
Today we went off to Pilates.... Tilly and Cath get to enjoy the garden, whilst Dee has to do all the hard work! 😂 Then we went off to Piatto for lunch, cake and cups of tea.... Tilly decided to say 'hi' to everyone in a very enthusiastic manner! She loves people, we've yet to discover how she feels about dogs.... it's quite some steep learning curve... She's very good at tracking where Dee was!

#falmouthcornwall
We realise that we seem to post more about Tilly's adventures than the fields, we've had a few people who have been asking about how muddy things are, so we've made a little reel. There's a little bit by the gateways, and parking areas, but it's not too bad. :)
Just doing a quick field check before the first of our guests arrive..... there's plenty of entertainment in the hedges! Good to have a fence in the way this morning. 😂. #dogfieldhelston. #beanosballpark. #dogfriendlycornwall. #falmouthcornwall
This morning's ramble, Tilly is really enjoying the hedges and taking off at speed around the farm. We want her to be able to go and explore wherever she wants to, the long line is there just in case she decides to go off the farm! Her recall seems to be pretty good, but there are always exceptions, and one has to be realistic! #beanosballpark. #falmouthcornwall. #dogfriendlycornwall. #borderterrier. #securedogfield. #dogfieldhelston
It's great running secure fields..... Tilly however would much prefer to disappear into the hedges, and keep an eye on the activity in the rabbit holes! Spring is going to be exciting! #beanosballpark. #falmouthcornwall. #dogfriendlycornwall. #borderterrier. #offleadadventures
The Boxing Day Hunt, no red jackets here, but a very enthusiastic #borderterrier at #beanosballpark. #securedogfield #falmouthcornwall
It's been quite some day! Tilly decided that there was something really interesting under the sofa... and was intent on getting to it... so the sofa has spent most of it's day upside down.. nothing we can see, but every time we restored it upright, she wailed at it some more! She absolutely loves tracking, so we've been out over hedges, across ditches and through bogs, all at speed! She has also let us know exactly where the deer have been!... All activities carried out safely Esra all on a long line! She is pretty full on and super charged.... until the Woodburner is lit... peace at last. 🐾😊
Tilly's day.... Started with an early morning farm walk, she's really into tracking. So we set off at speed on a long line. Wasn't long before we came across the deer.!Then she decided that she might like to eat some found fragments of fresh rabbit bone, fortunately it got retrieved, before it went down. We then finished the day with a return trip to the boating lake... This time, Tilly decided that she really didn't like other dogs! As she relaxes into her new home, it's becoming clear that Beano's might be just the right place to be.,:)
Yesterday's news.... at least it was sunny then! 🐾. #beanosballpark.
We have good news! On returning from the vets: Happy, relieved and delighted that the X-rays showed nothing of concern and we can start having some fun. 😁 Thank you to all of you who have been concerned and worried about us all. As you can see from the video, we were concerned about the back left leg.
The vets advised that Tilly would be drowsy and need love and a warm place to be whilst she recovered from the procedure. Finally we were going to get some food! With a sleeping Tilly on the kitchen floor, Cath turned her back for a split second, leaving the room briefly, only to catch Tilly staring gulping down a rather lovely hummus, pepper and red onion sandwich that she leapt up and removed from the kitchen counter! Cath sprang into action (screaming) and managed to retrieve most of it. Tilly was obviously hungry! At least the vets were still open for a quick panic call! Tilly may look cute, like butter wouldn't melt, but she's a wild child.
Early up at Beano's
Anyone else spot this interesting cloud this morning?.... We're up really early as Tilly has to go in to the vets today for some X-rays.... Wish us luck.
Beautiful sunset this evening. It's been one crazy week: there are lots of tales to tell, if we only had the time! It's been like having a toddler arrive with no instruction manual! So if we appear not to be as efficient as we usually are, blame Tilly, she's new to the management role! If we seem not to have noticed you, just give us a nudge!
