North Devon Secure Dog Walking Field

One of the benefits to living onsite is, when you get a break in the wet weather and you have 50 minutes before the next users is due.

Its a swift operation to get the grass cut and strimmed around the equipment, picnic table and around the perimeter of the field. We just about made it in time.

Looking good if I do say so myself.

Wonder why we do not let the grass grow long here? one simple answer Ticks. Ticks love long grass and warm weather, Keeping the grass short reduces the risk by a significant amount.
If a tick gets hold of your dog you cannot just wash them off. A tick remover is the safest way.

How easy is it to find ticks?
If you regularly stroke your dog you will get to know every lump and bump, strange but true. You'll feel something is not right, investigate and realise that the tiny bump you are feeling is indeed a tick that has just got hold, this is the time to get it off.

This can't be right a dry bank holiday Monday all but a bit hot.
With the hot weather in mind we are opening from 8am and our last session will be 8pm to 9pm to help you dodge the warmer weather.

Bare in mind that we can generally be slightly cooler here due to a nice gentlye breeze.

We regularly get new visitors to our field, some are locals with a new dog or a new issue with a current dog, and this time of year we get quite a few holidays makers who need an enjoyable safe and secure space to let their dog off lead.

Here are a couple of dogs who are on holiday enjoying the use of our field. We loved meeting them and the owners for their first visit.

Has anyone left some glasses at our field on Tuesday? For any one who has left but now cannot see our photo, they are turquoise in colour, rounded type, very nice but sadly not my style or lens type. Ha ha.
Please message us so we can get them back to you.

With all this lovely sunny weather and accasional rain, it can only mean one thing, grass grows a lot quicker this time of year.
The field is looking beautiful right now with dandelions and butter cups, we'll be leaving those for a while so visitors can enjoy them.
We have had another good grass strim all around the equipment and trees just tidy things up.
You may have noticed our straw bale scurry looking a bit sad, we are unfortunately struggling to get hold of small straw bales. If you know if anyone who has any, please do let us know.

Thanks to all our lovely customers who make our job so enjoyable. X

Only 3 spaces left for tomorrow, please hurry and book, your canine companion will be so grateful. The weather is being very kind to us, the bluebells are out just as you approach our entrance, a stunning view not to be missed. There are even few in the field. See if you can spot them. Our green earth roof on our field shelter also has some lovelly wild flowers growing.

We had the pleasure of welcoming these beautiful dogs at the field today. It was their first time and I think its safe to say they had a blast. We'll certainly be seeing them again soon I'm sure.
O we love our job, it's why we love to meet you and your dogs on your first visit, everyone dog has a different personality.
Some people apologise when their dogs jump up to say hello. We're OK with it, but if they are in training we can totally ignore them.
We're even partial for a cuddle, not you, but the dogs. Just the other day I had a cocker spaniel cuddle, climbed right onto my lap.
Of course we totally understand too if your dog is a bit shy or nervous, well just show you into the field so your dog can fill at ease.

You know when you're only 1 minute away from the devon dog field when you get the view of Exmoor National Park. Your dogs will see it and let you know you're close. Whine,whine, wimper.
Then you'll pull in through our gate and proceed to the parking area.
We offer not only a great secure space for dogs, but a stunning tranquil space for you to forget about your troubles. No constant road noise or the sound of car sirens. Just birds, wild life and the sound of your dog having fun.
