Booking Terms and Conditions.
By making a booking at ‘Woof’ you confirm that you have read and agree to the below terms and conditions. Failure to conform with any of these terms and conditions may result in the withdrawal of your permission to use the field.
Arrival/departure
Visits to ‘Woof’ at Halfpenny field are strictly by appointment.
Please drive very slowly down Grove Lane – this is a single track road and children play in it.
Only one car is permitted in the parking area per session. Please do not park in Grove Lane or by the duck pond.
On your first visit, you will be greeted and shown around the field. For subsequent visits you will gain access using the gate access code. This code will be changed regularly and forwarded to you prior to your appointment. Please do not share this code with anyone else.
Dogs must be kept on a lead until you are safely inside the enclosure with the gate closed securely behind you. The adjacent paddocks are home to chickens and other livestock.
Please leave the field promptly at the end of your session to avoid congestion of vehicles and dogs.
If you are late arriving, you must still leave at the end of your appointment time.
The gate must be locked at the end of your session.
Dogs
The maximum number of dogs is four.
If you wish to meet another dog owner on site, there is additional parking in Yatton Keynell High Street or in the village hall car park which is a short walk from Halfpenny Field.
Rescheduling and cancellation
Bookings cannot be transferred to another person.
Bookings can be cancelled or rescheduled with a minimum of 24 hours notice. Any cancellations after that period will not be refunded.
Supervision
Please ensure you can see your dog(s) at all times.
Dogs should never be left unattended or tied to any fences or gates.
Please do not allow your dog to dig. If you see your dog digging, please stop them immediately and attempt to fill the hole.
We do not permit the use of whistles (including dog whistles).
Dog Waste
We are currently looking into the disposal of dog waste. In the meantime, please pick up after your dog and take all waste away with you.
Noise
Please respect our neighbours and keep noise to a minimum. We understand that dogs can become excited and bark, particularly on arrival, but please do not allow persistent barking while using the field.
Dogs that bark excessively will be asked not to return.
Equipment
The agility equipment is for dog use only, please do not climb or allow children to climb or play on any of the equipment provided.
All equipment is used entirely at your own risk and we do not accept liability for any human or canine injuries.
Please be aware that dogs under one year have growing bones and therefore should not be using the jumps or any high platforms.
Smoking
We have a no smoking policy on site including the car park.
Fencing
The one-acre field is surrounded by a 5½ foot fence on three sides and a 3½ foot fence plus high hedge on the other side. If your dog can jump very high fences or is likely to dig underneath, the enclosure may not be appropriate for your dog. ‘Woof’ cannot be held responsible for any escapes.
The boundary and security are checked on a regular basis, however you are advised to check that you are satisfied with the safety and security of the field before letting your dog off the lead.
If you identify any holes or damage to the fencing, please inform us immediately.

Your details will be kept on file in order for your booking to be processed. By registering on our booking system, you agree to us holding your personal information.
The security and privacy of your information is taken seriously, we will never share your information with any other party.
Hazards
Although the field is regularly checked, you may encounter natural hazards such as sticks, stones, holes, thorns and stinging nettles. Please wear appropriate footwear.
Indemnity and Insurance
In keeping with the law regarding responsible dog ownership, you should be in control of your dog(s) at all times and are fully responsible for you and your dogs’ safety whilst using the field.
The field is used at your own risk and ‘Woof’ accepts no liability for any loss, damage, injury or death to yourself or your dog(s) whilst using the paddock.
Amendments
‘Woof’ reserves the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time.
