Terms and Conditions

By making a booking and using the field, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

• The field must be cleared of all dog waste and rubbish before you leave.
• Please arrive and leave promptly. If you arrive late, your session will still end at the scheduled finishing time.
• Dogs remain the responsibility of their owner or handler throughout the visit and must not be left unattended.
• The field is a large outdoor space and may contain uneven, wet or slippery ground, long grass, vegetation, overhanging branches and other hazards normally associated with the countryside. Please take appropriate care and supervise your dogs accordingly.
• If your dog is showing signs of illness, DO NOT use the field. Please be considerate of other dogs and their owners.
• Only people and dogs included in or accompanying your booking may use the field during your session.
• If you bring friends or family members, or arrange for somebody else to attend in your place, you are responsible for ensuring that they understand and comply with these Terms and Conditions.

Children

• Children are welcome but must be appropriately supervised at all times.
• The person making the booking is responsible for the safety and supervision of children accompanying their party.
• Please remember that the field is a natural outdoor environment and some features, equipment and terrain may present additional hazards to children.

The Field

• We inspect and maintain the fencing regularly. However, damage may occasionally occur through digging by animals, falling branches, weather, general wear and tear or other causes.
• If you notice any damage or potential weakness in the fencing, please notify us as soon as possible so that we can investigate and, where necessary, repair it.
• You remain responsible for the control and supervision of your dog. We cannot guarantee that the field is escape-proof in every circumstance and, to the extent permitted by law, cannot accept responsibility if a dog escapes from the field.
• Please follow the arrival and access instructions provided with your booking. Gates must be securely closed before dogs are allowed off lead.
• Please do not enter the field before the start of your booked session and ensure that you have vacated and secured the field by the end of your booking.
• Any logs, tyres, jumps, tunnels or other equipment provided in the field must be used responsibly and at your own risk. Please consider the age, health, fitness and physical capabilities of both dogs and people before using any equipment.

• Where more than one XL Bully dog is present, there must be a separate capable handler for each dog.
