What is Prospect Meadow?

Prospect Meadow is a four acre fenced grass paddock designed for exercising or training dogs. The fence is 6ft tall with small enough mesh to keep dogs of all sizes safe.

Waste bins are provided to ensure the meadow is kept as clean as possible for everyone.

Please be aware that we do not supply drinking water for dogs. Please provide your own dog drinking water if you feel it necessary, as you would on a normal walk.

How do I gain access?

The dog exercise field is incredibly secure. Located off a quiet country road, access is easy by car. When you get to the site, you will notice the secure parking inside the dog exercise paddock. Once parked, access to the paddock is gained by entering the code received upon booking and payment.

Please close all gates, that you open, behind you.

What sort of fencing is in place?

No expense has been spared with Prospect Meadow. We have used high quality professional fencing which has small gauge holes at the bottom which get progressively larger towards the top of the fencing. The fencing stands at a massive 6 foot tall, ensuring your furry friends enjoy their time at the field in complete security.

Where do I park?

Parking is available within the dog exercise field, it is secure and there is plenty of room. Please allow others to leave the car park before entering to park your vehicle. Parking is available off the road while you wait.

XL Bullys

The Government have stipulated that it will be illegal to own an XL bully- type dog from February 1st 2024 unless the dog is on an exempt list, called the Index of Exempted Dogs. People who want to keep their dogs have until the end of January 2024 to register them with the exempt list, and will then be forced to comply with strict requirements.

At Prospect Meadow, we believe it is important that ALL dogs have access to sufficient exercise, and we are happy to accommodate restricted breeds.  The key is to manage their use of the field carefully, in a way that is safe and for all.  It is hoped our policy will be helpful for the owners of the restricted breeds, but also provide peace of mind to all users of the field.  If you have any concerns, please do get in touch with us.

After February 1st 2024, if you are the owner of an XL Bully type dog and wish to use the field, there are a number of additional conditions that you must meet.  If you cannot meet the conditions listed below, we are sorry but we cannot accommodate you at Prospect Meadow. This may appear heavy handed but we are obliged to follow the legal advice given by our insurance providers and take responsibility for the safety of both our customers and the general public.

Anyone found to be not complying with these conditions will be blocked from use of the field and further steps could be considered, if it is found the law has been broken.

1. Your dog must be registered with the index of exempted dog (IED) AND hold a public liability insurance certificate.   You will need to provide us with a copy of both these certificates if we should request them. 

2. The dog must have been neutered and have a Micro Chip with up to date owner details – in line with Government rules.

3. Whilst visiting Prospect Meadow the dog to handler ratio must be a maximum of 1 restricted dog per handler at all times.  One handler may not bring two XL bully dogs – two handlers would be required for two dogs of this type.  If XL Bully owners have other breeds of dog from the same household it is your responsibility to ensure the safety of your household’s dogs whilst off lead.  If there are dogs present from different households, any XL Bully type dog will need to remain muzzled and on a lead at all times.

4. Owners must ‘lock’ themselves inside the field.  This will prevent any accidental or unauthorised entry by a third party from the outside. Any dogs arriving on foot must be kept on a lead and muzzled, until the gate is shut and secured, behind them.  Once the field gate is secured behind you, you can remove the lead and muzzle. On departure, the dog must be put back on a lead and muzzled before unlocking and opening the gate to leave the field.

5. Adherence to the field’s timeslot rules are particularly important.   Please ensure you are not early for your timeslot. If you do arrive early you must wait down the road away from the meadow until your timeslot begins.  As is standard practice, NEVER attempt to enter the field when there is someone in there already. Any issues in this regard, please all George on 0778609042. Be sure to have left the field at 55 minutes past the hour to provide the required 5 minute buffer period.
