For those of you who have already taken part, we’re hugely grateful! This competition has been so good for the profile of all the dog fields around the country and the level of enthusiasm has been amazing!
Why Dog Field of The Year?
The ‘British Dog Field of the Year’ idea came about following a conversation with a regular field user who said she was still speaking to people who had never heard of dog fields and she thought a bit of a contest might raise the profile of all fields in her area.
She was right – we’ve been going county by county across the UK promoting dog fields as a concept and following each regional round, dog fields are reporting increased interest; more bookings; and inquiries from professional users looking to utilise secure spaces for their business.
Rising tides really do raise all ships.
After lots of requests, we have published the winners so far so you can see who’s going to be competing for the ‘big one’ in December – The British Dog Field of the Year.
There are also a lot of additional categories that will showcase some of the more niche fields and celebrate some of the more innovative dog field operations we have here in the UK and Ireland.
