Paws & Play Secure Dog Field

Paws & Play Secure Dog Field is run by Paws & Play Pet Care in the Warwickshire countryside, a 10-minute drive from Solihull centre and under 10 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon. There are two enclosures, both bookable for your sole use: a main field of just over 3 acres, with mown paths through long grass in summer, a wooded area at the back and a stream alongside, and a second enclosure of just under half an acre with agility equipment for recall, ball games and training.

There is a car park for up to five vehicles and dog poo bins in both enclosures. A 50-minute session costs £11, with £2.50 for each additional dog, and up to three dogs from the same household are allowed per slot. The owners say it suits nervous or reactive dogs and dogs that have had a bad experience with others off the lead. The entry code is sent after you text the owners before you arrive.
