Please read our important terms and conditions before your visit to Petsercise.
Use of the field is entirely at your own risk, Petsercise accepts no liability for the death of or any injury of any person or dog, or for damage to any property. Petsercise also accepts no liability for any losses, claims, actions, damages, costs, expenses or other liability incurred whilst on site. Vehicles and contents are left at their owners risk. Yours and your dogs’ behaviour and actions are your sole responsibility and no claim can be made against Petsercise.
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.
We are located in a rural setting amongst working farmland. Therefore the Petsercise field may not be suitable for all dogs due to the proximity of livestock, sounds of neighbouring farm dogs, gun shots and bird scarers. Please assess the suitability for your own dog. Every effort is made to maintain the field but it should be noted and accepted that the field may be muddy and the ground is likely to be uneven in places and the presence of brambles and thorns are a possibility as you’d find in any rural setting. Users must also inspect the field to ensure that it is suitable for use by their dog/s, fence height etc.
Please follow these following important steps when you arrive for your sessions at the field, ensuring the safety of your own dog and others also using the field.
Time Management
Bookings start on the hour and last 55 minutes. The final 5 minutes of your booking slot is to provide enough time for you to retrieve your dog, to put them on lead and to return to your vehicle and vacate the car park by 5 to the hour, prior to the next appointment.
Please leave promptly at the end of your session, even if you arrived late. Any user who overstays will be restricted from using the field in the future.
PLEASE ENSURE YOU ARRIVE ON THE HOUR AND NO EARLIER as this will limit the enjoyment of the users before you and/or cause their dogs stress.
Arriving & Leaving
Your dog must be under your control and remain on lead until you are in the enclosed field, and the gate is closed.
If the previous appointment is still in the field when your booking starts, please inform us immediately.
Never enter the enclosed field while somebody else is in it. There is a padlock to lock yourself in to prevent anyone from entering when you are inside.
On leaving the field, please always lock the gate, even if someone is waiting to come in. This is to ensure that only authorised users can access the facility. Never divulge your passcode to anyone.
Other rules for the use of the field are below:

Dogs must be kept on leads until safely inside the secure field boundary and the gate closed.
