Launceston Dog Walking Field

13/10/2024

Good evening everyone, just to let you know that I have tonight changed the code for the field gate so please look out for your reminder emails to get the new code.

Once again I have to remind you to please pick up after your dogs, tonight we picked up six bags including two between the hard standing and the bench.... really, how did you not see them?

24/09/2024

Hi, I have just added a couple of requests to the email reminders that we send for our bookings, we would appreciate it if you would please look at them.
One regards the perennial issue of picking up after your dogs and the other is a reminder about waiting in the layby until the previous user has left.
Simple things please to help everyone's enjoyment of our facilities.
Thank you.
Alan

Evening everyone, it has been a while since i changed the gate code for our field, in fact not since the recent dog show.
Therefore, I have changed the code tonight so please look out for your appointment reminder emails which will go out shortly.
On the subject of the dog show, thank you to everyone who supported it making it another very successful day. A huge thank you goes to our helpers especially to Tom Herron for his hard work in organising the day.

Hi everyone, just to let you know that I have changed the field gate code tonight so please check your reminder email for the new code.
Hope you like the larger hard standing which should allow more room to turn around.
However, it's a bit disappointing to find dog poo on it a few times recently, please check before you leave and please respect the fact that other people don't want to pick up after your dog.
Thanks..

Evening everyone, hope you've enjoyed the fine weather for the last few days, just to let you know that I have changed the gate code to the field tonight so please check your next day reminder emails for the new code.

Also don't forget our Dog show coming up at the end of the month.

Those of you who have used the dog field recently and have popped into the shed to bin your dogs p**p may well have seen the nest in the roof beams. I am extremely pleased to report the three chicks we have seen in the last few days being fed by their busy parents have now fledged and taken to the wing themselves.

The picture here was taken earlier in the week just before they took flight. They were still using the shed to perch in a couple of nights ago but we are really pleased that they all seem to have survived despite the regular traffic of people and dogs in the field....

We were aware during the winter of the issues with water running off the hard standing parking in the field. We intended to do work to improve this in the near future. However, the delivery of materials has turned up earlier than we ordered so please be aware that there is a small mountain next to the hard standing. We will hope to get the improvement works started soon but in the meantime we apologise for the inconvenience and hope it doesn't interfere with your dogs enjoyment of our facilities.

15/07/2024

Morning, (won't say good, bit wet!).

If you have the field booked in the next few days please check your reminder emails as we changed the gate code last night.

01/07/2024

Look out for your reminder emails tonight as the gate code for the field is about to change, so you will need the new code for tomorrow.

19/06/2024

We have had requests to open up the 7.00 am slot in the mornings, now that "summer" is here and morning are lighter. I have opened this up for booking from tomorrow morning so it should appear as an option on your booking page.
Thank you for your support.

Good evening, just to let you know that I have just changed the gate code for the dog walking field, so please check your reminder emails before you use it as the code will be different than the one on the original booking confirmation.
Once again I have to issue a reminder to pick up after your dogs, over the last four nights I have picked up over a dozen in total, with many of them around the shelter. Please don't abuse the field, its a simple thing to pick up... if this continues we will be looking at the option of CCTV monitoring.

26/05/2024

Good evening, hope you are all enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend, the field looks to be fully booked tomorrow but please note if you have it booked the gate code has just been changed so look out for your reminder emails which will be issued this evening.

31/03/2024

It's like buses, none for days and then two in one day, so another message......I have just changed the gate code so please look out for your reminder emails

31/03/2024

Due to the clock change last night I have now added the six to seven p.m. slot to the booking system. I will monitor the light situation over the next few days to add seven till eight.
Booking for the six p.m. slot is now live.
Bring on summer and perhaps it will dry out!!

17/03/2024

Hi everyone, thank you for your support over the last few weeks, let's hope the weather starts to be more favourable so the field can dry out!
I have changed the gate code tonight so please look out for your reminder emails if you have a booking coming up.
A little reminder please, we realise it has been wet and getting around the field has been difficult but please try and pick up after your dogs, I have had a few complaints about how much poo is being left in the field, also part of our Ts & Cs is that you don't let your dog dig holes in the field and that too has happened recently.
Thank you.

02/03/2024

Hi everyone, just to let you know that I have changed the gate code for the field tonight so look out for your reminder emails to see the new code.
Also can I please remind everyone to lock the field when you leave I am told there have been a few incidences of it being left unlocked.
Thank you and let's hope for some better weather soon!
