New Dog Field Opens for Off-Leash Adventures Safely

A new dog field has opened at Welly Wearers Country Store on Irtons Way in Chatteris. It officially launched on Friday and provides a secure, enclosed area for dogs to run off-leash.

Location and access

The field sits next to the country store and is available for private hire. Bookings begin at 6am to allow early morning visits.

Owners can book online for individual slots. Visitors may also use the store for coffee and cake while dogs exercise.

Design and purpose

The new dog field allows dogs to enjoy off-leash adventures while owners relax nearby. The layout is fully enclosed to help handlers exercise their pets safely.

  • Private time slots for uninterrupted use
  • Suitable for individuals, families or multiple dogs per booking
  • Supports training, recall work and controlled socialisation

Intended users

The space caters to high-energy dogs needing to burn off steam. It also suits dogs in training and those that are nervous or reactive.

The private setting offers a quieter alternative to busy parks and public footpaths.

Community benefits and next steps

Owner Mandy Jackson said the idea grew from a gap in local facilities. She added the field aims to give owners confidence to let dogs run without public-space stress.

Bookings can be made online via Welly Wearers Country Store. Further information is available from the store. Organisers expect the site to become a popular addition to the area.
