I got here early today to do the poo/maintenance check and I’ve just had a lovely time watching (and laughing at) two little puppies as they start their training to be guide dogs!!
And then I met a full size golden retriever with slobber all over their head. 🤣
It’s a wonderful job (especially when I don’t find much poo because all the good customers have been). X
Sorry no photo as they weren’t close enough for me to ask permission and I didn’t want to disturb them. I’ll put one of my d***y golden doodle on instead who also makes me laugh daily.

A gorgeous picture, taken by one of our favourite regular customers, of Scooby field. I’m assuming the gold at the end of that rainbow has four legs, big ears and loves cuddles. Xx 🐶 xx

Brrrrrr it’s a cold one this morning! 🥶
We’ve had a bit of water that’s turned to ice near the entrance so be extra careful when turning into and driving to the dog fields today.
Remember to wear suitable footwear and the water butts will be frozen up so bring water if you think you’ll need it.
On the plus side it looks absolutely gorgeous and the dogs love it!
Be careful and enjoy. 🐶

Hi everyone. This is us having a bit of a moan. And guess what about - yep - poo!! 💩
We go to clean the fields every single day and we always find some p**p that needs picking up - it’s to be expected from a dog field - but quite often it’s more than acceptable to us and on a Monday morning there is often more than usual. Which means that some of the Sunday people are rubbish at cleaning up after their own dog. Today, one field in particular was bad and we know it got thoroughly cleaned yesterday before a certain time so we have a list of who was on it so can keep an extra eye out.

We know it’s getting dark - many other dog fields shut earlier in the winter months because of that - but we don’t want to let our valued customers down who need the fields at night to allow their dogs the freedom that the fields bring. However we do advise that you need to take torches, as we don’t have electricity on site, and you need to watch your dogs so you can try your best to clean up after yourself.
But when people leave their own dogs p**p we get the complaints from other users and it’s just not fair on the many wonderful customers who simply pick up their own animals waste and put it in the bins provided when others just can’t be bothered. And it’s really frustrating for us.
So if you’re one of the lazy ones please be more respectful to our fields and if you’re one of the good ones we are really thankful for your help in keeping our fields as clean as we can and open for everyone to use when needed.
Sorry for the moan but sometimes it gets a bit much.

WINTER IS COMING! 🥶
We’ve had a long but very productive day at the fields today trying to get as winter ready as possible.

We got the pot holes filled on the track and entrance (tarmac isn’t allowed because of planning conditions sorry), put up a few new signs, some new poles, checked all of the fencing and re pinned any weak spots, creocoted all of the wood, cleaned the shelters, filled in holes as well as a good old poo patrol of course!
We’ll sleep tonight that’s for sure. 🥱

We are shut for the rest of the evening to make sure all the creocote is dry and the gravel settles itself. Sorry for the inconvenience of being shut all day but we hope you’ll agree it’s worth it for us to be able to get some important jobs done and make sure it stays looking as lovely as always. Please continue to help us keep it that way by picking up your dog’s poo. 💩
We really really appreciate it! 🙏

So from now on big coats, wellies, towels and torches at the ready!

I read this and I thought of our little dog community at release the dogs. The reason we get out of bed even in troubled times and their quiet (but constant) presence rung a bell with me. X

We love all animals at Release the Dogs and apparently so do our lovely customers. We had a bumper stash of cat food left in our food bank which we’ve just delivered to Irlam and Cadishead Foodbank. Thank you soooooo much to whoever left it - imagine all the little happy cats you’ll feed around the area. Here’s a pic of my rescue cat for attention- she was very skinny and shy on first arrival - look at her now! 🤣

Accident being reported on Liverpool road somewhere near the fields so please leave extra time to get to your session and check sat navs before setting off.
Let’s hope everyone involved is ok. 🤞

The bobble hat has made a comeback as the weather is slightly wet (but then, as I marched around the fields, I was boiling!). Anyway it’s likely that we’ve had our two days of summer so remember mucky shoes and towels to dry the dogs down and protect your cars as we don’t (and can’t) have water to wash dogs on site. The mud will start to return I’m sure.
Nb - we have the drinking water for dogs but we’d ask you not to wash dogs with that and leave it for dogs to drink as we have to bring that onto the site so can’t support everyone washing their dogs!
Oh and someone has found and left a four leaf clover in the shelter on bolt field so I hope you get lucky whoever you are. 🍀 x

There are reports of a delay around the AJ Bell stadium. Hopefully it’ll clear soon but check your sat nav’s before you set off just in case! 🐶

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! ☀️
