Apologies to those of you with grass allergies or short legs. We finally got the grass cut yesterday. We hope to hit the brambles and nettles over the next few evenings 🐾🐾🚜

For those who mentioned the bushes down the track we went halves with one of the woodland owners and its now nicely trimmed 🐾🐾🌳

‼️ Unfortunately we had another visit from the person who left all the runny poo's on two previous visits. Thankfully he was the only morning visit so we can now be 100% sure so have banned him.
Deliberately broken toy rack, poo bin and crushed water bowls. Every toy thrown out and gates wide open, not to mention the usual poo's everywhere 💩🤬 (big thanks to the following visitor for picking most of it up 🥰)
This all seems so deliberate we feel sure they will just book under a different name so please let us know if you arrive to find damage so we can identify them and keep them banned. 🙏🐾

Just so those of you with lower cars are aware 🏎 We had a surprise visit from some CCC workmen today who have removed the hump of dirt from the track! 😊🐾🐾
Apologies to those who couldnt get in today, we will offer a refund or a free slot. 👌

‼️⚠️Polite notice⚠️‼️
Unfortunetely we had another incidence of people arriving early and letting themselves in (half an hour this time) and also bringing more than two cars.
So, can we please repeat what is on the booking terms that everyone gets when they book. Please please try to bring two cars as an absolute maximum, if we keep getting complaints then either the council will revoke our planning or the landlord will end out tenancy. The there will be one less safe place for dogs in our area.
And please be mindfull when thinking of chancing an early arrival that a lot of our customers have reactive dogs. there is a reason we have a 15 minute gap unlike a lot of other fields, and that is to avoid stress by people being at the gate while people retrieve dogs.
Thank you for reading this and lets hope we can avoid having to have CCTV to police this. 🐾🐾🙂

We noticed the place was getting a bit tired looking, so we blocked the last two days off and gave the field a good freshen up. Grass cut, weeds strimmed and the fallen trees removed. You can now get to the the wobbly bridge, tug tree N09 ready for some abuse, and a few new toys and cones. Oh and some bits in the sensory area.😊
And as soon as the sun comes out we will be adding some more surprises as well as taking requests from our visitors. 🐾🐾

🦊🦊After the gate was left open four weeks ago we seem to be plagued by fox holes, daily and up to a dozen at a time. So we have chopped some logs and dotted them at intervals along the fence line, this makes it easier for us to plug the holes in the morning, and if you should find one and have a small dog you can stop it escaping🦊🦊🪵🪵

Obligatory 'first grass cut' photo 🚜
Only this year theres no sunny backdrop and its blooming freezing 🥶

18/04/2024

Everyone Unfortunately we have had another two incidences of deliberate 'poo leaving' 💩 Thankfully from being alerted by some of the other visitors on those days we have been able to narrow it down to one person. On both days they were right by the tool rack and the bag dispenser by it. Its also a concern that all of their dogs seem to have had diarrhea for the last three weeks.
So we are going to have to ban this person, obviously they can use a different email and payment sp please keep alerting us if you find deliberate laziness 💩🙏🐾🐾

😡Polite notice 🐾🐾
After a text from one of our regulars pre warning us, we spent two hours at the field from 6am this morning clearing up carnage and lots of poo💩💩
Whilst we appreciate when you have lots of dogs its hard to spot every poo it was clear that absolutely no effort had been made to pick anything up. Toys were everywhere but only a few feet from the rack, and all the poo bag holders emptied.
So as much as we have been trying to avoid it, we are going to have to start banning people who cause the next customer to have a bad visit. So if you notice any obvious mess or vandalism (obviously the odd poo is bound to be missed) could you please let us know, and on what day.
It will then be easy for us to make a kind of 'offenders venn diagram' of the possible perpetrators and take action.
A big thank you to all of our visitors who make the effort to keep it a clean and peacful space, we do appreciate you 🥰🐾🐾

Polite notice 🐾🐾
Can we remind visitors to shut and lock the gate when they leave.
Unfortunately our 16:30 booking yesterday left it wide open. Thankfully nothing went missing 🚜but we did have a fox party in there last night resulting in 10 dig holes under the fence from them getting out🦊.
Thank you ❤️🐾🐾

01/03/2024

Polite Notice 🐾
We have had a lot of dog poo that has not been picked up recently. Can I remind everyone that it is your responsibility to pick up after your dog, as it is not fair for other people and dogs who hire the field.
Thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully adhere to this 🐾

💪'Tug tree 4' a nice short grass cut and a trip to the dishwasher for the toys (we regularly sterilise but this makes them shiny 😎)
'Tug 4' is now a 1m scaffold pole in the ground, scaffold clamp holding a garage door spring, carbon fibre rod and the usual agricultural suction hose. Oh and a Tug-e-nuff tug toy. A word of caution, this is lower to the ground than the last 3, way more springy and bends flatter to the ground. So please watch children when they are near and cover when you have finished. 😍🐾🐾

We love trying to keep up with the competition, and the more the dog fields in the area try to better each other the more fun the dogs have (which should surely be the point🤞)
So what dog fields in the area do you think are worth a visit and for what reasons? (we promise we wont steal any of their ideas . . . .if we haven't already🤫) . . . . 🐕‍🦺Scout can be quality control🐾🐾

If you are at a loose end this evening why not pop to the Artichoke in Chartham who are hosting a quiz night to help raise money for the wonderful charity Flori's Friends Rescue - Reg Charity 1177365. See you there 😊

If anyone is thinking of an alternative holiday, this lovely company is local to Canterbury and allow dogs in all their campervans 🐶

On a personal note if anyone knows of any reactive friendly camping sites please do share your secrets. We are desperate to get away with 2 dogs at a campsite with as little stress as possible.

Our vans are dog friendly! We have dogs of our own so we know you will want to include them in your adventures!
No extra cost to bring your pawsome pal 🐾☺️

🌳🚜🌳 Sometimes I think the grass grows so fast we could just keep driving up and down forever 🥵 . . . .But it always looks a bit more tidy and the smell is amazing 🥰🐾🐾

Something hairy🧹New blue balls 🔵Something new to wee up🐾and something reflective🪞 . . . . we basically tried to build a dog size 'cat scratcher' which will probably evolve once we have some feedback 😎🐾🐾

🥵When it gets hot we often block off the midday slots to avoid anyone overheating ☀️🐾Sometimes we don't and people ask if there's shade or a breeze etc. So today we took some midday photos of the shade and noted the 6 degree temperature difference between the field in the shade of the trees and our shed at home also in the shade of a tree. and we only live 600m away. we were quite shocked at the difference.🌳☀️🌳🐾🐾
