Entrance & Exit Procedures
- The gate between the car park and the Unleashed field must be closed at all times.
- Keep your dog(s) on leads whilst in the car park, and remove the lead upon entering the Unleashed field.
- Please respect the session times, we have a 15 minute gap between sessions to avoid any crossover between bookings. Please do not enter the field before your start time and please ensure your dog is safely back in your car by the end time of your booking.
- Please try not to arrive in the car park early, and if you do so, please wait in your car. Many of our Private Hire customers have nervous or reactive dogs whose session is likely to be disturbed by activity in the car park.
- It is your responsibility to allow enough time at the end of your session to get your dog on a lead and out of the field, and to remove your car from the car park before the next session starts.
- You must complete the registration form on your first visit. Please inform us of any changes to your details thereafter. Please sign in for all visits.
