What to Bring to a Private Dog Field Session
Most private dog fields provide the basics. But a little preparation makes the difference between a good session and a great one.
The Essentials
- 🐾 Your dog — on the lead until fully inside the double gate
- 🐾 Poo bags — even if the field provides them, bring your own as backup
- 🐾 Water and a travel bowl — most fields have water, but always worth having your own on warm days
- 🐾 Your booking confirmation — includes the access code and instructions
- 🐾 A lead — needed for entry, exit, and moments where you need control
For a Training Session
- 🐾 High-value treats — proper training treats, not regular kibble
- 🐾 A long line (5–10 metres) — invaluable for recall practice
- 🐾 A tug toy or ball if your dog is toy-motivated
- 🐾 A training plan — know what you want to work on before you arrive
For an Active Session
- 🐾 A ball or frisbee for a good game of fetch
- 🐾 A flirt pole — brilliant for high-energy dogs and sighthounds
- 🐾 Comfortable footwear for grass or soft ground
