It's more than just a walk in the park.

Hire a SAFE SPACE to take your dog with ENRICHING and EXCITING adventure play areas
Paws up if you have a REACTIVE dog? Do YOU struggle with recall challenges? Would you like a SAFE SPACE to take your dog? Somewhere ENCLOSED and SECURE? With ENRICHING and EXCITING play areas?

Back in 2015 a seed was planted. I was becoming more and more aware of the need for dogs to have safe areas to be allowed off lead to roam, to sniff, to explore. Without the worry of bumping into other dogs, livestock or people. Its not that I don’t like these things its just I wanted my clients and my own dog to have the freedom to create their own adventure. In whatever form that might take without the worry and anxiety of having to repeatedly put them back on lead.

The Gallops is a safe space that has been created for you and your dog(s) to run free, explore and play without the fear of being interrupted. There are two secure, enclosed, deer fenced fields to choose from, with log piles, cross country jumps, sensory gardens, tunnels, tyres, digging pits, a variety of platforms and even a pirate ship. The idea is to create an enriching and safe environment for the dogs.

We have tried, where possible, to keep the equipment as rustic as possible to provide environmental enrichment for the dogs. Dogs, like humans need mental enrichment, without it boredom sets in, which can then encourage depressed and destructive behaviours.
