It is really interesting that more and more dog exercise fields are popping up all over the country. How rich we have come as a country. Now one in Hilperton, Wiltshire. If we had one in Wilmslow(Cheshire) I would suggest it would be inundated with people trying to book it. We would need about 5 or 10 dog fields to satisify the demand, based on your comments and the number of dog/dogowners around here. One booking per hour? 30 minutes would be a much better time span, unless there was a coffee machine close by! Whenever I have walked dogs in an enclosed field they would be bored after around 30 minutes max and that would also be after me walking around the field at the same time. In my opinion dogs dont always need to be let off a lead to get exercise, just walking them on-lead would have the same effect. Unfortunately it is normally the owner who doesnt like walking the dog for some strange reason.
