A secure 3-acre woodland and meadow where dogs can safely roam off-lead away opens today at Hopewell Dog Park.
The dog park, which is located in a rural setting to the north of the Knaresborough, was set up by Rebekah Mudd two years ago for nervous dogs to play away from other dogs or people.
Owners can hire the woodland and will have the whole area to themselves.
The site has secure 6ft high fencing so dogs with little or no recall can’t escape. It means they are free to wander, play and sniff without the owner worrying.
The woodland and meadow is the latest addition to the dog park. It already has an adventure field with obstacles, an obedience field with agility equipment and an indoor barn.
For the new wooded area, owners pay a fee of £9 for 30 minutes or £15 for an hour. To hire the fields, prices start at £6.50 for 30 minutes.
All the areas are completely private, so you won’t have to share them with other dogs.
Ms Mudd said:
“People love the security and privacy of it. You can let the dog run around and have a picnic and the owner knows the dog is not going to escape.
“It’s for everyone, even if you have a well-behaved dog who has good recall, there is lots to do and lots to sniff”.
