    Provide a Safe & Secure Environment

Customer Reviews

“Absolutely fabulous place and concept. Took our 7 month old puppy and she was living her best life from the moment we arrived.
It is so well organised and structured. Will definitely be back very soon and will definitely book longer session.”

— Mrs.M

“Used for the first time today and my dog loved it. Lots of space to run around without worry, and the cleaning station is a nice extra touch. Will definitely be back. Great value too!”

— Matthew Mills

“We took our two border collies to Pooches Playground this afternoon and they had so much fun! It was very well maintained and clean - the other owners seem to treat the facility well and pick up after their own dogs…. this secure field was the perfect place to allow them to let off steam - already booked in for next week!”

— Justice Southwell
