Joanne here!
I’m currently sat in my car on the car park waiting to do the daily poo checks and I’m watching the people in the fields and I’m thinking what lucky dogs to have owners like these. They are throwing balls, walking around with their dogs and on one field a little lad is in playing with his dog beautifully. It’s wonderful to see these dogs so happy with owners that love them enough to give them the freedom to run (but doing it safely) and without stress. Honestly makes me happy to watch owners like these. X

This rucksack has been in Lassie field’s lost property box for ages. There’s nothing of value in it so I’ve put it in the corner of the car park and if it isn’t claimed in the next week I’ll dispose of it.

Hi all. There’s an event on this weekend- Barton Live - which may mean the roads around the dog fields might be busier. So give yourself more time to get there if you can. And enjoy it if you are going!

We haven’t posted about 💩 in a while! And sorry but this is a long-winded one. 🥱

It’s a really simple RULE OF USE for our dog fields. Pick up your dog’s poo!

Most of our customers are absolutely AMAZING and to be fair we think we have some of the cleanest fields around from what you’ve all said (why thankyou, we do try our best! ☺️)
But even finding one or two in really obvious places makes us sooooo frustrated as we know it can’t have been an accident or got lost in the grass (which we know can be a bit tricky!)

Someone mentioned to our utter dismay that they’d paid their money so they can leave it for us to do but if you do think that then firstly don’t come again, and secondly please realise that what you pay for is the security of the dog field for your dog to run free and the costs of the business are far more than you probably think, from the massive set up costs (surprised us too tbf 😮 ) rent, planning, insurance, website, booking system, merchant fees, lawn mowers (no.2 coming soon-very exciting😉), strimmers, tools and much much more including lots and lots of POO BAGS for you to use for free. (And it seems pinch a lot of too 🙄).

So please please please help us out by keeping an eye on your dogs until they’ve had a poo and pick it up. It helps us to keep it clean for you, your dogs, your kids, your shoes, your car and it’s just the right thing to do! 👍🏻

And if we find the serial offenders with our spy network we will ask you to leave which is just a massive cringe! 😬

Thank you to all who do pick up. We really really appreciate it. 🙏

Need a lie down after that novel.

(Turning off comments because we seem to get a lot of spam comments and then messages which are very weird - no I don’t want to be your friend Chad, do one.)

We whinge when it rains and we whinge when it's sunny! 🤣
It is so beautiful on the fields during the summer and as long as we are all vigilant our dogs should still be able to enjoy the cooler grass and a potter in the sunshine. 🌱🐾
Here’s some more information to help you to stay safe in the sunshine! ☀️

I think you’ve missed a bit…
Oh we know! 🫣
We started mowing on Scooby at 7am and we were so lucky with the weather until we got to our final field of the day - Bolt. It poured down so the grass was wet, we were wet and the mower started struggling so we had to go extra slow. And as a customer turned up for their 7pm slot we ran out of petrol with this patch to go. How frustrating 😫
We think it’s time for a bigger mower!

We had a great monthly maintenance day yesterday giving the fields their first cut of the year on a day when THE SUN CAME OUT! ☀️

We’ve made it everyone - through the rain, mud and cold of winter we’ve got through it together. Well done all of us (and to all the towels, blankets, car boots and floors that have lain down their lives for the very mucky pups after a session on Muttley.) 🫣

As it’s looking especially beautiful we would really like it to stay that way. So please please as always pick up your poo and put it in the bin at the gate 💩, pick up your litter, food and fag butts and put it in the bin in the shelter. And we know the dogs love it but if you can stop them from digging big holes and chewing the water butt taps and bin lids to bits we’d really appreciate it too. 🙏
Fingers crossed for a great summer 🤞🏻 and thank you as always for your support, custom and friendship. ☀️🐶

ALL SORTED with the PayPal issues. PHEW! 👍🏻

So sorry for the inconvenience and to anyone that tried to book and missed a good session! Thank you everyone for your patience.
We lost our patience with it quite a few times today but got there in the end.

We now know how Greggs felt yesterday 🤣

It would seem there’s a problem with PayPal tonight where some people can log in and pay but then some people can’t log in to it at all! 🙄

If you’re struggling it might be worth trying another device or just waiting until the morning when PayPal will hopefully have turned itself on and off again and it might just work! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

So sorry for any inconvenience. 🐶

Hello everyone!
This week is a rather emotional one for our family as it marks five years on Wednesday (13th) of when we sadly lost Dean from our lives at the young age of 46. Dean was Joanne’s husband, father of their two children and Julia and tonys brother in law and friend. We miss him immensely.
Dean was badly allergic to dogs so we couldn’t have them whilst he was alive so he always said if he died first I (Joanne) should get one then. The day after his funeral is when we welcomed Dolly the diva into our lives, followed by Luna (tic) and now I also have Rory the massive puppy, Nala the posh cat and Blair the rescue kitten. Animals have helped us so much to start to heal after the huge loss of dean and without the ridiculous chase instinct of little dolly chasing everything in sight if ever off lead, the idea of the release the dogs fields wouldn’t have been born. And whilst we all still struggle with missing Dean, we have found huge comfort and healing from these beautiful animals that we have surrounded ourselves with.
And I know we aren’t the only ones. I’ve spoken to other widows who’ve had animals help them and we’ve cried together in the Scooby car park and I’ve spoken to people who are struggling with their mental health and their dog has been the one thing to keep them going.
So please feel free to share your stories with us about how your animals have helped you in the comments.
And here’s the dog blog I wrote a couple of years ago about how the dogs have helped us

WARNING – this blog post is about bereavement and my own personal way of dealing with grief. If you’re going through something similar and don’t think you’re ready to read about that then leave it for another day. In your own time.

It’s international women’s day and we know that within our business we are surrounded by amazing women led businesses who work hard and play hard - with dogs!

The pics are of the two faces of release the dogs that you might think are just one person (there are many mix ups!) but there are two of us! 👀 👯‍♀️ We work in all weathers (but also don’t miss any chance to celebrate anything with processco!) The favourite part of our job is meeting all your dogs - we love them and even if they’re not great with humans and don’t want us to stroke them, we still love watching them run free in the fields. It never gets old!

In recognition of the strong women who work around us on international women’s day, feel free to tag your women led doggy business in the comments below.

I’ll start off by tagging one of our customers who’s been with us right from the start - she is amazing to watch with her daily pack of dogs as they love life and get treated like royalty by her. M44 Animal Boarding

We’ve had a lovely maintenance day at the dog fields today 🔨 and only just finished so we’ve released some sessions that we thought we might have needed but don’t now.
If you want to make the most of a gorgeous sunny afternoon ☀️ there are a few sessions available on the website now! 🐶
But do be quick as they tend to get snapped up!

Here’s my very tired little dog after her day at work playing with her favourite ball for hours! 💤

Please remember to pick up your poo and keep it as clean and tidy as we’ve left it. 💩
We really do appreciate all ou your support. 🙏

Apparently it’s national so please feel free to comment with pictures of your beloved pets. We especially like pictures of puppies and old dogs - oh and young adult dogs and middle aged dogs and very nearly old dogs. 😉
Here’s a picture of our pack which includes my sisters dog cause they can’t leave her alone at all so she comes to my house a lot. 🙄
And the big one looks like she’s got a black eye but she actually just slid face first through mud.
I hope everyone gets to hug their pets today and if you have had one who’s no longer with us feel free to share their picture too - they are forever part of our families and journeys through life.

A couple of gorgeous photos from a lovely customer enjoying a cold but very fun run around Scooby field with her four beauties. 😍

It does look beautiful but as always please take extra care as it is icy on the ponds, the top car park is skidding, the water butts are frozen up and even the grass is slippy in places! 🥶

We can’t use anything that might irritate dogs paws or damage the environment so we just need you to be careful and keep an eye on your dogs at all times.

In good news the poo is easy to see! 🤣

In further news than our birthday, I (Joanne) got to the food bank today to drop off loads of dog food you’d all very kindly donated. Look at it all!!!
Special thanks to Tinypawz who I know put lots of it in every month as their customers collect for our food bank box! How blummin kind. It’s really appreciated by us and the people at the food bank. Irlam and Cadishead Foodbank

It’s our birthday today (46 yrs young 😥) and Joanne had the best birthday surprise this morning (after a long journey through the Antarctic) with the snowy fields looking beautiful and hardly any nice warm 💩 presents to pick up.

As always thank you for your support and for helping the fields to stay as clean as possible whilst following all of the rules, four of the most important being…..
1. Pick up your dogs poo.
2. All dogs on leads in the parking areas at all times.
3. 50 minutes on the field then 10 min crossover to get dogs straight into your vehicles and drive away.
4. Always be considerate to other users on the fields. They may be anxious or have mobility issues or reactive dogs. Just be kind.

Happy Birthday to us! 👯

4.30pm on Muttley has just become free because of bad traffic on the M60. If anyone can get there really quickly without having to use that bleedin road! 🤦‍♀️ It’s available on the website now. 🐶

02/01/2024

The website had a lovely day off yesterday 🙄 but we are pleased to say it’s working again now. Phew!We are back up and running. 🐶
Now if someone can fix the weather please???

Thanks for your patience everyone. 🙏
