Welcome to Central Bark Dog Field

Nestled away on the outskirts of the village of Sancton is our secure dog walking field: Central Bark!  

A 1.8acre field which has been designed to keep even the naughtiest, nervous or nimble dogs safely inside.

The field is a standalone facility with no distractions around the perimeter and can be booked in 30 or 60 minute timeslots.

About us

The field has been created to allow dogs to exercise and socialise in a private area allowing owners to relax safe in the knowledge their dogs can’t run off!  Ideal for doggy play dates or if you have a reactive or nervous dog there is nothing but open fields surrounding Central Bark to distract them!

The field is 1.8 acres of grassland and has 2m high secure fencing, wire netting along the ground and is double gated to keep entry and exit safe.

There is a private parking area available on site directly off Houghton Lane.

Is there shelter for the humans if it’s raining?

Yes! We have a small hut to take cover in from the rain.

What if I am late for my booking?

Sadly, if you arrive late for your time slot you will still need to leave on time to allow the next booking to enter on time.

Can I book for longer than 60 minutes?

You can simply book consecutive time slots or if you would like to speak to a member of the team about an event / doggy party / are a dog trainer etc requiring more specific arrangements please use the contact form to discuss these with the team.

Someone is in the field during my booking?

The booking system we use does not allow for double bookings – please speak to the person in the field and check they have not got the wrong day or time. If you are still unsure please contact Karli on 07772 778176 and she will be able to check for you.

Discounts are offered to all weekly/regular clients of DotDot Pet Care. Please speak to your walker to obtain the code.

If you are from an animal shelter/charity, we also provide discounts! Please use the contact us form for more information.

Can my booking be changed?

Providing you do this up to 3 hours prior to your booking, yes!

Unfortunately, the booking system won't allow for refunds, but you can reschedule as many times as you like, up to 3 hours prior to your slot.

Central Bark may at times have to close the field for essential maintenance. Whilst all efforts will be made to do this outside of the field opening hours or where there are no bookings already made, this may not always be possible. We reserve the right to close the field and refund any bookings made at this time.
