ABOUT WOOF HALL & DOG FIELD
Conveniently located just off the Mark Road in Walrow, Woof Hall & Dog Field has been carefully created to provide a private, fully enclosed and secure, fun dog walking field and training hall.
To make sure your dog's visit is enjoyable as well as safe, when you book you will have exclusive use of the facilities for the duration of your booking slot including the secure car park area - whether you are bringing one dog or many dogs.
Whilst the hall and the field may be booked by different parties at the same time, please be reassured that these areas are not only separated by 6ft fencing, but also accessed separately from different points of the car park.
Secure Dog Field
Set in 1.26 acres, our secure enclosed dog walking field with 1.9m fencing provides a great space for fun, whether that is running for balls or playing with friends.
For the nervous dog, Woof Hall Dog Field provides a safe, quiet space to run and sniff, uninterrupted by surprise interactions.
It is also perfect for people wanting to train their dogs, whether that is learning recall or practicing more advanced gun dog skills.
Our A-frame and tunnels are great for developing agility skills or for just a really good sniff and play!
Training Hall
Our 60x40ft training hall has sand flooring for better comfort to the dogs. It is perfect for puppy training, allowing for indoor sessions in a smaller safe environment before progressing to outdoor training activities.
Woof Hall is also ideal for agility training, ensuring a soft landing for joints.
There is running water available at the hall.
The hall is hired separately from the field. There is no direct access into the walking field as the area is separated by a 6ft fence to keep everyone safe.
Secure park AND parking at Woof Hall Dog Field
We understand that the dog walking field is exciting for your dog, whether attending alone or with friends, and this can lead to the occasional, accidental, unplanned exit from the car, which is why we have created not just a secure playing field, but a secure entrance AND parking area at Woof Hall & Dog Field.
There is ample parking in the secure car park area, and we have also provided a hardstanding turning area so you can get in, turn and pass another car with plenty of space. Please remember that the secure car park area is only to be entered at your time allocated time slot. Please wait in the entrance and turning area until the booking before you has vacated.
Both the training hall and the dog field are accessed from separate car park areas - so you cannot access the hall from the field and vice versa. This is to ensure that everyone has a safe visit to Woof Hall & Dog Field.
Our entrance gates are set 5m back into the grounds and open inwards to provide safe access to cars entering the property. Once through the gate, you follow our hardstanding stone track to the car parking area.
Whilst at Woof Hall & Dog Field.....
Please ensure that you leave the dog field or hall as you would expect to find it. Please pick up any mess and put it in the dog poo bins provided which can be found by each of the perimeter fences and in the parking area.
You are welcome to use the A-frame and tunnel, but please report any breakages to us by text. If you would like to see more agility facilities please let us know too! We do have running water on site in the hall, and you are welcome to fill a bowl of water if your dog is thirsty. For your security, we do have CCTV in place and this covers the entrance gate as well as the Hall and Field.
