Please do not enter the field until all previous users have left and closed the gate.

Rules on XL Bullies
We prioritise the safety and well-being of all our customers and their dogs. To ensure a secure and enjoyable experience for everyone, the below rules outline the regulations regarding XL Bullies within our exclusive enclosed dog walking field in line with the Government Guidance.

XL Bullies must be neutered in line with legal requirements.
ALL XL Bully dogs using Dog Field must have insurance, including 3rd party liability insurance.
XL Bullies must be microchipped.

XL Bullies must be put back on lead and muzzle before opening gate to exit the field.
The XL Bully attending with you must be registered with the Index of Exempted Dog (IED).
Owners must possess correct liability insurance and email Foxes Farm Fields a copy before first visit.
Agree to adhere to the new session times for XL Bullies that the sessions will be 45 minutes in length. This is to ensure that the next customer does not come into contact with the XL Bully.
Ensure gates are securely closed and locked during dog field use. Owners of XL Bullies are required to closely supervise their dogs at all times while within the enclosed dog walking fields.
Safety and Security
Your booking allows access to Mocketts Farm Dog Field only for the duration of your reserved time. Access to other areas of the property, before or after your booked session, is not permitted. Please only walk on the public footpaths, and do not trespass at any time on private land. Most importantly, the reservoir to the side/rear of the cottages is strictly no access at any time under any circumstances as this is privately owned and protected land and is monitored 24/7.
CCTV is in operation for your safety and security. We reserve the right to ban any users who break any of the rules in the contract.
Kennel Cough – it’s most common in areas where lots of different dogs gather and it can survive in the environment for several weeks. Kennel cough spreads by direct contact between dogs, in the air and on surfaces (such as food bowls and leads). To help prevent the spread of Kennel Cough we ask that you do not bring your dog if they are showing signs of any of these symptoms: a dry, hacking cough, sneezing, nasal discharge, or mild fever.
It is a condition of hire that all dogs must have had their first vaccination (often known as a Primary Course and given to puppies at around 8 weeks of age). We also ask that all dogs are up to date with a course of wormer treatment. If you have any queries or concerns regarding these medical requirements, please contact us prior to making a booking with us. We reserve the right to ask you for supporting evidence to satisfy these medical requirements and further reserve the right to refuse access to the Dog Field if you cannot meet such conditions.
It is the responsibility of the hirer to notify us in advance of any hire period of any aggressive or potentially dangerous behaviours or health concerns of their dogs. We reserve the right to cancel a booking and/or terminate any agreements for hire with immediate effect should we deem any dog(s) to be unsuitable due to their behaviour or health condition.
We ask that hirers ensure that the dog field is left clean and tidy after their use. Please ensure that you clean up after your dog by placing any dog waste in the dog bins provided or taking it home with you. All non dog waste must be taken away with you.
Children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times.
It is the responsibility of our users to ensure that dogs are put on a lead prior to exiting the dog field.
We will use all commercially reasonable endeavours to ensure that the dog field is secure and this will include regular checks of the gates, fencing and field. However due to the rural location of our premises it is possible that the integrity of the fencing and/or gates may become damaged by weather or the intervention of wildlife or unauthorised persons. We cannot provide any guarantee to users that your dog will not come into contact with any other wildlife during your hire (including parasites). We ask hirers to carry out a check of the integrity of the fencing and field before each session and to immediately report any concerns to us using the emergency contact number which can be found in your booking confirmation e-mail. Please do not let your dog off its lead if you are not happy that the dog field is adequately secured.
We strongly advise users of the dog field to insure their dog(s) to cover their period of hire for all circumstances including third party liability.
During your period of hire you must not carry out any alterations to the land. No open fires are allowed and the use of portable and/or disposable BBQs is prohibited. Smoking in the dog field is not permitted.
Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you
We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking the contract between us or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
We will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
