Today is your last chance to use the
THURSDAY SAMEDAY DISCOUNT!
The Sameday savers will be available again from January 14th. The aim is to give the field a little bit of a rest for a few weeks and give me chances to do important maintenance and repairs and as these bookings are always last minute it gives me a good idea of what spaces Iv got to work in ahead of time without them. Xx
We have availability today still if you want to take advantage of this lovely sunny day 🌞
Choose the THURSDAY SAMEDAY DISCOUNT option from the slot options. Click it twice for 1 hour.

Paws and play paddock is a fully Enclosed, exclusive use, dog activity paddock in Dunham on Trent.
Location is an easy drive from most directions, just off the A57 in the lovely little village of Dunham on Trent, blink and you’ll miss it!
Why do people bring their dogs here?
To enjoy the ability to shut out the rest of the world and enjoy time with their dogs in peace.
Enjoy a sit down while still being able to see what and where the dogs are up to without skimping on their room to RUN and Explore!
There’s a little bit of everything so if your dogs more of a ball lover, you have the space to play fetch, your dog is more of an explorer/sniffer, plenty of opportunities for that, your dog is keen to try new things and ‘have a go’ there are plenty of obstacles to choose from depending on their ability and confidence so Book in and give it a try, we love to see your pictures and videos of your dogs (and your!) favourite bits of the paddock 🤩
All new visitors should choose the 1st visit option, after that 1st visit induction with me, you are welcome to choose any option including the discounts that suits your requirements.
Last workshop of the year! Introduction to Scent Detection for Reactive/Anxious Dogs
Scent Detection is such a powerful tool for anxious dogs to boost their confidence and feel good hormones. By engaging their highly developed sense of smell, which can help to calm them down and distract them from anxieties by focusing on a specific task, essentially acting as a positive coping mechanism. It also strengthens the bond between the dog and their owner through a rewarding activity that plays to their natural instincts.
Dogs will work one at a time and wait in the car between goes. A live stream video call will be set up so everyone can watch each other outside of the car without upsetting those dogs that are worried by people

💩 is a bit harder to find at the moment as it is every year once the leaves drop, so please take a few extra minutes to check and remember our rule…
IF YOU SEE IT, PICK IT UP. That way if you missed one or two from your own dogs, you have covered yourself by helping collect up what you do find.

Our paddock is set in the beautifully peaceful village of Dunham on Trent on the A57.
The paddock is about half an acre with 4ft5 high fencing on three sides, 6ft on one side. Netting all around with about 2ft dug into the ground and turned in to prevent digging under the fencing. The gate is dog proofed underneath with a rigid rubber attachment. There is a small tree in the field for some shade plus a few taller trees at the bottom which create more shade later on in the day. We have recently planted more trees which will take a few years to become useful as shade. In hot weather a paddling pool of water is available for your dogs to play in if they wish to keep cool. The field is mostly set to grass with a few things for the dogs enjoyment/enrichment. Tunnels, logs and some toys, are already at the field for your dog to enjoy, dog friendly herbs and grasses are available for your dogs self select and enjoyment with more being added gradually. Water and bowls are provided as well as Compostable poo bags that can be put into our bin for composting.
You can book this field all to yourself and your dog or a group can book it to train together or for catching up in an environment safe to take your eyes off the dogs for a moment, they can’t go anywhere.
Facilities: Off road secure parking. Toilet. Field shelter and seating. Water and paddling pool. Herb Garden. Selection of dog toys. Tunnels, tires and logs. Notice board of local dog related services (please ask about putting up a poster) Special requests for inside field parking.
This field is great for the following: Allowing a dog with poor recall some off lead enjoyment. Training in peace. Safely exercising dogs with reactivity issues. Exercising older dogs or dogs rehabilitating after surgery, safely exercising a bitch in season. Exercising, off lead, a group of dogs you struggle to exercise on a daily basis because of differing characters, abilities, and training levels. Small group/breed meets and group training. (You are welcome to bring and use your own equipment) As a Stop off point, during a long car journey, to stretch their legs.
Come and see us sometime, If our field is not suitable for your dog and you leave early, there is no charge.
