​
ANNOUNCEMENT
​
It is with huge sadness that Sean and Claire are saying goodbye in a months' time. We have sold our house and The Dog Paddock at Foston. The Dog Paddock will change hands to the new owners on the morning of 4th September 2026.
​
The Dog Paddock will be still operational, and the website will remain the same. The Facebook pages will close down on the same date. You will continue to book via the website as you do now.
​
We will be stopping all plan purchases as of today, as there won't be enough time to use them, but any plans purchased before this will be honoured.
​
Please know that even though we are moving on to a totally new project in Wales, we will genuinely miss the paddock. We want to say a massive thank you for all for bringing your dogs here. We have loved all of the stories and seeing all of the pictures of your dogs. We have made some friends, and have spent time chatting to some of you through the fence!
​
We have felt passionate about providing a space in our local communities for dogs that need to be let of the lead, time to play and be free. It has been an absolute pleasure, with love to you all,
Claire & Sean
​
The Dog Paddock @ Foston in Derbyshire is a secure Dog Field, which you can hire to let your dogs off their leads safely.

About
Our idea originated from having our own dogs and wanting somewhere that we could exercise them on their own. We were lucky enough to be able to buy a house with a paddock attached. And so finally in 2021, we received planning permission and so the Dog Paddock began.
​
The paddock is based in Foston, in Derbyshire. It is just over an acre, with 6 foot fencing all around, a car park with a hosepipe for water for the dogs to drink and be cleaned off. There is privacy netting around the roadside and our garden side, with trees, and grass on the other two sides. In Autumn there is an abundance of blackberries growing through the fence, your dogs can eat these too!
​
We have provided a variety of interactive play areas so that we provide your dog with a stimulating experience both mentally and physically. We have particularly thought about the sensory aspects of the paddock, including different textures, and surfaces. We like to keep the grass cut in the Summer, but it'll always have edges that are a little wild, and provide "smelly" places for the dogs to explore.
​
A small wooden shelter is provided for you to sit in if it is raining, or too sunny! Please also feel free to borrow the umbrella if you need to, but please return it for others to use. If you have forgotten your poo bags there will be some in there for emergency use.
