Perry Dog Field

Perry Dog Field is a 4-acre secure field at Perry Farm, Torton, near Kidderminster, Hartlebury and Stourport, with views towards the Abberley Hills. The owners describe fencing just shy of 6ft (180cm) with small grid apertures and a further foot buried in the ground, a two-gate air-lock entry, one-car parking inside the field plus extra parking nearby, a shelter and seating, poo bags and bins, and enrichment equipment: two tunnels, tractor tyres, bales, weaving poles, small jumps and a sandpit.

Sessions are 50 minutes for exclusive use, from £11 for one or two dogs and one owner or family (up to five people and one car). There is no running water, though bottled water is kept for emergencies, and toilets are not yet provided. The owners say they do not allow XL Bully types or other banned breeds. The field idea began with an owner of a reactive German Shepherd, and the owners say it suits reactive dogs as well as training and exercise.
