Freedom field for dogs opens in South Wales

Farming family the Anthonys have opened a secure dog park in Tondu, South Wales, after it lost dozens of sheep in a dog attack.

It took the Anthony family two years to get permission to set the business – Dogz Unleashed – on its farm.

However, they said the wait had been worth it now and they are already looking to expand into another field on the farm to keep up with the demand.

Emma Anthony told Wales Live: “The freedom field gives people the option for it to be whatever they want it to be, some people will come and they will bring a picnic and throw toys for the dogs. Other people will come and then want the dogs going over the jumps and tyre hoops.

“We also have people that come to us that have medical issues themselves, so they can’t walk very far and sometimes their dogs don’t get the freedom or exercise which they would like to be able to give them. So this gives them the chance to watch their dogs have such a wonderful time.”
