Crossroads Dog Walking Freedom Field Market Rasen

28/01/2024

Blimey we spent an hour today filling all the holes and by 1pm there are more...😡 jeez people please this is dangerous for the dogs..PLEASE STOP YOUR DOGS DIGGING..
Husband has just gone down now to refill these holes.

27/01/2024

It feels like all im doing these days is telling everyone off......

So between 10am yesterday and 2pm today someone has allowed their dogs to dig major holes in the field, if clients don't tell me I can't pinpoint the culprits... some people don't like to come because of the holes, it's hard work on us to keep filling them in, I've even had to buy topsoil to do so. It's dangerous for the dogs running around and It causes issues when we need to cut the grass. If you cannot stop your dogs digging then please don't use our field.
If your dog does dig a hole then at least let us know so we can fill it straight away so nobody gets injured.
And please try not to arrive too early we have alot of reactive dogs using the field at present your arrival 20 minutes before your slot can cause an issue.

19/01/2024

Another one for everyone bad habits starting again with arriving too early.. we have a 10 minute gap between leaving and arriving for a reason.. many dogs that use the field are reactive so please if you arrive before your time slot which starts on the hour wait at the top of the field until the previous clients dogs are in the car and they are leaving..

Hi everyone
Unfortunately there are more and more instances of cancelling appointments at short notice.. sometimes 10 or 20 minutes before the start which doesn't give anyone a chance to rebook. So we are going to have to make some changes.
We have always been very lenient with this in the past but this last week alone 10 appointments were cancelled last minute.
So from now on there will be a 6 hour limit if you cancel at short notice then you will still need to pay for your slot. I will be checking as it also seems that the honour system we've had in place is also being abused. You will also only be able to book slots 2 weeks in advance this is to try and stop confusion over what times and days you have booked.

We've kept the price low since the field has opened, but if this continues then we will have to put the prices up to pay for a booking system that takes payment on booking, insurance is increasing due to the banned breeds and I don't wish to ban them from coming, or anyone else for that matter.

If you have any concerns or complaints feel free to let us know I know the field has been a tad waterlogged lately, apologies I can't control the weather, at least its not as bad as it used to get.

19/08/2023

So somebody used the field today at either 4 or 5 but hadn't booked, the lady that had booked for 5pm couldn't get in because a lady with a GSD was in the field at 17.05 who shouldn't have been, please double check that you have booked your slot, and that you are out before the next client arrives you should be out by 10 minutes too the hour.
It was very unfair on the lady who had booked for 5pm to not be able to use the slot she had booked and her dogs were going nuts in the car, please be respectful, unfortunately we were not there today to sort the situation out.
AND STILL HAVING THE 💩 ISSUE PLEASE PICK UP YOUR 💩 AND PLEASE STOP YOUR DOGS DIGGING HOLES EVERYWHERE.
I will be placing cameras around the field if it continues and the price for hire may have to increase. So many complaints lately..

It would appear the book now button has once again disappeared of its own accord.. while I'm trying to get it back use the link that's pinned in the featured section..
It's not allowing me to connect with the scheduling page at the moment..
Sorry for the inconvenience everyone.

OK new gates are up please don't try driving in yet we need to put a base down so you don't get stuck.. for some it maybe a bit narrow, we are still going to fence in the car parking area but of course it decided to rain in the time we had so it slowed us down a bit, plus the fact we're not getting any younger..🙄

I managed to collect a nice half a bucket of 💩
Not quite sure how some of it was missed 😕 grass not even hiding it..
And I've collected a whole stash of balls from little rubber ones to footballs.. thanks for littering the field with your broken crap. In future take it home.

There is a collection of items going on in the hut including someone's jacket if it's all still there after the weekend it's going in the bin.. so if anyone has left anything there to use let me know or it's gone..

Apologies for the rant now I know why some places charge twice what we do......... I shall have to be more on the ball in future.

25/03/2023

So new gates have arrived, the field is closed from midday Thursday till 3pm Friday so we can hopefully fit the new gates.. we are going to try and make it a secure double gated system that eventually you should be able to drive your car Into the area and shut gates before letting your dogs out..
So please bare with us while we do this..

11/03/2023

It has been bought to our attention that someone has opened the side gate half way down the field and not closed it.... this caused great distress to the next person using the field as their dogs went out the gate.. we added that gate to hopefully give access to an agility area in the future and it should not be opened and is not for your use and certainly not to be left open, it will now be padlocked.. but thanks to who ever chose to open it and not bother to close it, this could have been a disaster, I should have guessed that some people really have no clue when it comes to safety of some dogs. Please don't drive on the grass down there as you will get stuck in the wet weather. Stick to the drive and park down the bottom by the large gates.

PLEASE ONLY USE THE MAIN GATES TO ENTER OR LEAVE THE FIELD AND CLOSE ALL GATES BEHIND YOU.

We can't check the field before every client so just take a minute to double check before letting loose... thanks guys.

Hello everyone
We seem to have people arriving a tad to early for your time slots...
If you do arrive before the hour please be considerate to the clients already using the field and wait at the top of the drive or in the kennels car park until your booked time which always starts on the hour...
Please remember the 10 minute grace period so those with reactive dogs can get them loaded stress free..
Thank you all for your support and consideration for others... 😁

10/08/2022

Ive opened the field up again, please respect other users and pick up after your dogs it's very unfair on others using the field.
I don't have time to check between clients and just to remind you all THE POOH BIN PROVIDED IS FOR POOH BAGS ONLY.. not milk cartons not costa coffee cups and not your old trainers..... any other rubbish found in there and we will remove it altogether and you can take your bag home with you.
The bin is provided for your benefit and costs us to dispose of please take other rubbish home and place it in your own domestic bin and not fill ours up with general waste... thank you for your understanding.

07/08/2022

⚠️SORRY for any inconvenience caused but the field will be closed until further notice ⚠️

17/07/2022

We are closing the field for Monday and Tuesday due to the extreme heat that's expected. We need to reduce the traffic passing the kennels to keep the boarding dogs as quiet and calm as possible. Stay safe.

29/11/2021

10/11/2021

The field is currently blocked off as we're having the ditches dug out to hopefully stop it flooding.. if you want to use it and don't mind the digger working around the perimeter then give us a call to book a slot ..
If you have already booked a slot then don't worry your spot is still ok we will work around those times...

Send a message to learn more

30/08/2021

One of our lovely customers has found a key in the field, we have it nice and safe so if anyone has lost a key let is know..

Apologies everyone it seems the booking system is currently down. If you wish to book a slot either give us a ring or message me and I'll try and answer asap...
I'm trying to get it sorted.

18/03/2021

So it seems some people using the field are still not picking 💩up after their dogs, and still letting their dogs dig holes... I've spent over an hour this morning picking alot of 💩 up in the field and filling in holes..
Please pick up after your dogs. We don't want to ban anyone but if it continues on this scale then we will have no choice, its not fair on those that come to use the field and do clear up after their dogs, and end up clearing up after others.
If we have to continue to clear up after everyone then the price for using the field will have to increase.. if you use the field and find alot hasn't been picked up then let us know, then we may be able to pinpoint who isn't clearing up after their dogs.
A big thank you to all those who do pick up not only after your dog but others that you find too.

06/02/2021

As I'm sure you can guess with the amount of rain we've had the entrance to the field is very boggy.... there is also the lovely waterlogged section across the middle of the field..

I would advise not using the field if your not prepared to take a wet and muddy dog home..🤣 i will update when it's dried up a little...(could be a while)..

03/01/2021

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN ENTERING OUR CAR PARK IS A SHEET OF ICE..

19/12/2020

UPDATE HE HAS BEEN FOUND

Family have lost their dog in the woods near us if anyone spots him give us a shout we have their contact number...

19/10/2020

OPEN AGAIN
We have filled holes and made sure it's fully secure... Please stop your dogs from digging, if you find holes please message and let us know. Also had a few complaints as some are not picking up after their dogs, leaving rubbish, cigarette butts...
I really don't want to have to ban people so please be respectful take your rubbish with you keep an eye on your dogs. If it continues I will start checking after each booking.
