Terms:
​​
​​
Use of the paddock
Owners hire and use the paddock for their own walk, at their own risk. Dogs must have appropriate insurance if using our facilities in the event of injury for example during play/zoomies. We provide a safe enclosed and private space but of course cannot provide safety or guarantees against natural events such as viruses, injuries from play or falling etc, as this is still and outdoor natural space. We can accept no liability for any illness, injuries or accidents to either the users of the paddock or their dogs. Whilst we endeavour to ensure escape is not achievable and hold daily risk assessments of the enclosure, we cannot be held liable for any dog escaping the paddock. Should this occur you must notify a member of staff immediately.
​
Toys are permitted to be used in the paddock at the owner’s or hirers own risk. Please ensure all items are removed at the end of the session if yours or put back in the toy box if you use ours.
​​
The paddock is by appointment only and will give you exclusive use during your allotted time; there will be no other people or dogs inside the paddock other than those attending with you.
​​
Any dog showing signs of ill health will not be permitted to use the paddock. Please cancel any session you have booked until your dog has recovered.
​​
We cannot be held liable for any dogs fighting that have chosen to share a session i.e friends sharing.
​​
Please note this is a natural field, the ground will have bumps and just like any area on a public park may have plants and uneven surfaces, they are likely from time to time have some nettles, possible thorns, tree roots or even berries and so forth, please wear suitable footwear and supervise your dog and be cautious when walking as not to trip.
​​
​​​Booking
Booking for any of our services is required prior to attending, we do not accept walk-ins and please do not enter the paddock for a look around we do use it ourself for the training of police dogs, this can include scenario situations such as hiding in grass for the dog to track so you may not always see a police dog in training . In order to book you may book online via our website, please email or call if you have any issues with this and we will support you.
​​
​Payments
Payments must be made before arrival of your session. Payments can be made via the online booking system.
​​
Cancellations
Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours prior to bookings or a refund cannot be issued, we know life can sometimes throw up the unexpected so we try to be as flexible as possible and allow you to still reschedule as late as 4 hours prior to your appointment as not to lose out on any payments made.
​
You may cancel by call, text, email or via the online booking system. If the call is not answered please leave a voice mail covering full booking details i.e name time date. Should you not cancel in advance or reschedule within the time periods above - your account will still be charged automatically. By making the bookings and signing up as above you have agreed and authorised payments to be charged for your booking should you fail to attend or reschedule, this automatic charge applies to cancellations for all facilities i.e daycare/training/paddock.
​​​
Cancellations for events/shows must be made 7 days in advance to allow for the slot to be filled or you will only be entitled to a 50% refund as the costs for your dogs' attendance would have already been allocated; any cancellations made within 24 hours of the event/show cannot be refunded.
​​
That said we will always work with you and help where possible so please contact us if you face any issues.
​​
Change-overs
All dogs must be kept on leads if entering and leaving the paddock - though you are welcome to park on the parking space provided within the paddock.
​​
Please be mindful that some dogs do not react well around other dogs or humans so we advise that dogs should remain in vehicles until the previous user of the field has secured their dog in their vehicle.
​​
Dogs must be retrieved and ready to leave the paddock at the end of the allotted session time (not after). On leaving the paddock, please ensure that the gate is left open for the next client. Any owners that are unable to retrieve their dog must notify a member of staff.
​​
​Dog waste
We will provide waste bins and poo bags free of charge, however, the free poo bags cannot always be guaranteed so we ask owners to bring their own poo bags should the free supply of poo bags run out. All waste must be collected by the owner prior to the end of the session. Should you leave regular waste behind we have a policy that results in a ban from using our facilities to protect others (and you) for hazard. We want to provide and keep a safe clean space for everyone so please keep an eye on the pooches!​

Website and social media
We may from time to time use images or videos where the attendees or dogs are included in the image for the likes of marketing, website or social media. Should you wish to not have certain people or dogs published, please inform us and we will ensure this does not occur. If you ever see an image you or your dogs are included in and wish it to be removed, please contact us and we will have this removed.

You are liable for any damage caused inside and outside of the field by you, your dog(s) or any person in your party. All dogs must be covered under their own third-party insurance (public liability insurance). This is usually included in your pet insurance.

Fleurs Friendly Fields also accepts no liability for any losses, claims, actions, damages, costs, expenses or other liability incurred whilst onsite.
