Secure Exercise Paddock Hire - Stafford

Secure Dog Exercise Paddock Hire

Our secure exercise paddock gives your dog a safe, private space to burn off energy off-lead — no other dogs, no distractions, just yours.

The whole paddock is enclosed with secure 6ft fencing, so even the best escape artists can run free with total peace of mind. There’s an A-frame and agility hoop for dogs who love to play and explore, and plenty of room to fetch, sprint and sniff to their heart’s content. It’s ideal for nervous or reactive dogs who need their own space, puppies still learning recall, or any dog who just loves a good run.

The paddock is booked one session at a time for your own personal use, so you’ll never share with anyone else. It’s available between 09:30 and 14:30, with extended summer evening slots from 5pm until 8pm.

Please note your time slot includes getting in and out of the paddock, so do make sure you’ve left by the end of your session, ready for the next booking. Book your slot online in seconds.

30 Minute Session

A half-hour of secure, off-lead play — ideal for a quick run or a shorter visit. £6 for up to 3 dogs, then just £1 per additional dog. Includes your time to enter and vacate the paddock — please be clear of the paddock by the end of your slot for the next booking.

Can't rate this place enough . My dogs love it here and I never want to use anywhere else ! One of my dogs has medical needs and anxiety problems, yet loves it here. It's a home from home. I get regular updates and pictures when we are away, which is very reassuring and lovely. The team are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. They will always do their absolute best to accommodate. They provide luxury options for boarding and underfloor heating, which is great too. Genuinely can't rate them enough . Attached some of my latest pupdates 😄
