A Purpose-Built Space for Every Dog

The Old Brick Kiln Freedom Field is uniquely divided into two distinct sections, allowing us to tailor our training sessions to your dog's specific physical needs and personality.

The Front Section: Secure & Open

The front area is an ideal environment for smaller dogs and puppies. It offers a clear, open space that feels safe and manageable, making it perfect for:

  • Initial puppy socialisation and focus work.

  • Basic obedience and "stay" commands.

  • Building confidence in a wide-open, yet secure setting.

The Natural Area: Wild & Adventurous

For larger dogs or those with an adventurous spirit, the secondary section offers a more natural, "wild" terrain. This area is excellent for:

  • Gundog training: Mimicking real-world hunting environments.

  • Scent work: Utilising the natural flora for tracking and searching.

  • Advanced Recall: Practising coming back when there are more natural "sniffs" and distractions to navigate.

Why Mel Trains at Old Brick Kiln

Training in a dedicated "freedom field" provides several advantages over traditional public spaces:

  • Total Security: Fully fenced boundaries mean you can practice off-lead work with 100% peace of mind.

  • Managed Distractions: We control the environment, ensuring your dog isn't overwhelmed by unexpected off-lead dogs or passersby.

  • Reactive Dog Friendly: The quiet, rural location of Cold Harbour Lane is perfect for dogs that need a calm space to work through anxiety or reactivity.

  • Space to Move: Plenty of room for long-line work and high-energy retrieval exercises.
