We have a couple of top rules for when you use the paddock. As the autumn starts to set in and the leaves are falling I think it might be time to do a little reminder before the yearly hunt for 💩 in the🍂 🍁 and low light begins.

We run an ‘if you see it, pick it up’ rule here.
It is in the terms you agree to when you make a booking.
It’s a very simple rule that absolves you a little when you accidentally, unknowingly, have left a 💩 or two behind.
If you do not agree to picking up a poo you see that you think ‘might’ not be yours because you didn’t see your dog doing it, please do not come again.

Your paddock usage fee is not to pay someone else to clean up after you.
Do you enjoy walking around an area full of other dogs p**p? No? Neither does the person coming in after you…. And they are going to think it was you if they see you leaving, or they report it and I’LL think it was you from the bookings 👀 you can only attend with a booking, if a report is made, I 100% know it was you in last… what is your excuse for not reporting the amount of mess if it was there when you arrived but did nothing about?

For me, finding more than 2, maybe 3 💩 on a check is a concern. It doesn’t happen often but when it does obviously I’m wondering why the last person in before my check didn’t say anything? Which then leaves me thinking they never checked the paddock before leaving, did they even pick anything up at all?And then the question, was it on purpose and do I ban them from booking again?…. I don’t want people here who think it’s ok to leave it in a mess, even if it wasn’t them, they never cleaned it up and they never told me.
I can’t do anything if I don’t know. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This paddock runs on honesty, trust, communication, a bit of pride in knowing you did your best keeping it the way you would like to find it and a bit of love ❤️ and I know so many of you absolutely adore using the paddock and book as often as you can fit it in.

I run this paddock to the best of my ability, its just me, there isn’t a large gang of staff or a corporation behind it like some that are popping up around the country, i just have a couple of trusted helpers when I’m in need, and some long term dedicated users who love it as much as I do and treat it like their own, sometimes I struggle, sometimes I’m frustrated by how it’s users have treated it that day, sometimes I have no energy left after life and people have been unkind, but mostly I’m absolutely delighted 🤩 by what I’m met with walking in there.
We really do have some absolute angels visiting our little piece of heaven each week. 🥰

I can never guarantee a 100% clean paddock all the time, but I can guarantee that I will do my absolute best to keep it as clean as is humanly possible and encourage its users to treat it with the respect it deserves. There will always be the few who spoil things, but when we work together and communicate, we can w**d them out. 😉
Thank you for being kind, responsible, clean, honest and enthusiastic users of paws and play paddock ❤️ let’s keep it that way 😉

🐾 WEEKEND AVAILABILITY IS ALWAYS LIMITED 🐾
(We are fully booked this weekend but have availability for future weekend bookings)

We are often asked if we are even open at weekends as there is limited or no availability on the booking app? WE ARE OPEN!! 😃
just at weekends we work a little differently…

The very best way to snag yourself a 45min or 1hr weekend slot at paws and play paddock in Dunham on Trent is to join our weekend WhatsApp group after your 1st visit to use the paddock.

📱 You will get 1st notification of all the available slots coming up each week for that weekend and when a cancellation slot comes in, if you’re a last minute kind of person this might suit you.

🖊️ If you know what weekend and time you want in advance, and know paws & play is where you want to spend it, you can ask me to check if it’s available for you to book it early.

📆 If you’re the kind of person who wants a guaranteed slot, I can give you a fixed time for a weekly, fortnightly or monthly slot (availability permitting) that you only have to let me know if your NOT coming rather than playing the risky game of 1st come 1st served on the WhatsApp group. ☺️

Working Together: Behaviourists and Physiotherapists in Practice.

You loved it so much, we are doing it again and this time ITS ON A SATURDAY!

Join us to learn the link between musculoskeletal pathology and behavioural reactivity. We will be leading you through the application of collaboration to help our clients succeed.

Clinical case studies, unpicking the more complex canines. CPD day for professionals who believe in a "whole-dog" approach.

Have you ever worked with a “reactive” dog and felt there was a missing piece to the puzzle? Join us for an immersive, high-energy day where we break down the barriers between professional disciplines and explore the powerful synergy between canine behaviour and veterinary physiotherapy. Join us to learn the link between musculoskeletal pathology and behavioural reactivity. We will be leading you through the application of collaboration to help our clients succeed.

The Event Details
* Date: Saturday 3rd October 2026
* Time: 10:00 am – 3:00 pm
* Location: Dunham on Trent Village Hall
* Focus: Advanced CPD for professionals who believe in a "whole-dog" approach.
* Price: £60 per person to include tea, coffee and biscuits.
Recording available for those who can't attend live

All too often, professionals work in isolation, focusing only on their specific field. Alice Watts (Education4Paws)and Lily Moffatt (Veterinary Physiotherapy) are joining forces to prove that we are exponentially more effective when we stop working in separate bubbles and start collaborating.

Whether you’re a trainer, vet nurse, behaviourist, or MSK therapist, you’ll leave with more than just facts; you’ll leave with a new, integrated way of working.
* Refine Your Observation Skills: Learn to recognise the subtle physical signs that indicate a reactive response may be driven by physical sensitivity.
* Expand Your Professional Network: Meet like-minded professionals who value teamwork and shared expertise over working alone.
* Evidence-Based Success: See firsthand how lives are transformed when we address the "Why" (Behaviour) and the "Where" (Physio) simultaneously.

The sun is shining down on us in Dunham on Trent’s Dog walking field 🌞

🌟 NEW 10minute gaps between users:
We have been trialling 10minute gaps between bookings and are in the 2nd week. On the whole it has been a success with only a few misinterpretations of what the time is for. So here is a little clarification to help 🐾😊🐾

1: Arrive on your start time.

2: Benefit from more of your booked and paid for time, 1hour is 1hour, 45mins is 45mins, 30mins is 30mins
(starting from your booked start time only. Late arrivals still need to leave on time)

3: Pack up on your end time (should only take you a few minutes into the changeover time) still giving you plenty of time to exit the driveway way before the next is due to start. There should be a good 5-7 minutes of no one here in that change over period to ensure a smooth exit and arrival between users with no cross over.

4: Closing. the driveway gate while using the dog feild prevents any early arrivals waiting in the yard making you feel rushed.
The driveway gate is located at the driveway gap between the house and garage.

5: If the driveway gate is open and you arrive early. Do not approach the feild until it’s empty. Stay in your vehicle as close to the house as possible and call me if you feel someone has overstayed into your time after checking your booking confirmation that you have the right date and time.
Do not drive up to the feild or park and walk up to ask anything at the feild gate.
Contact between users should never occur.

6: Leave all gates propped open on exit for the next user to know the feild is empty on their arrival.

7: Have a wonderful day!! 🐾 🐶 🐾

At paws & play paddock 1 hour is 1 hour, 45mins is 45 mins, & 30mins is 30mins then pack up and leave in the first 5 mins of the change over time to still ensure the next person gets in for the start of their slot and still not see you leave 😃
