Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, all dogs must be up to date on their vaccinations and must not attend if they have had the kennel cough vaccine in the last 2 weeks. Proof of vaccination is required before your dog’s first visit to any breed meet.

Yes, we accept puppies who are at least 16 weeks old, fully vaccinated and in good health.

For the breed meets, intact small and medium dogs are welcome, while intact large dogs can attend up to 2 years of age, provided they are friendly and well socialised; any dog showing aggression or becoming overly interested in a female must be removed from the meet. Female dogs must not attend if in season.

The 24m polytunnel has a large ball pit and a smaller one for our shorter legged friends, a slide, tug of war toys and climbing frames, while the 30m outdoors area has a sand pit, plus more tug of war toys and climbing frames. There’s loads of space for zoomies, while the humans can relax at one of our two chunky picnic tables, nestled at either end of the outside area under its own pergola.

Of course! Children are very welcome at K9 Korner, but they must be supervised by an adult at all times and should be dog-savvy and comfortable around dogs. Please remember that some dogs have very little spatial awareness when they’re in full zoomie mode, so children should always give dogs plenty of space and must not chase, harass, frighten or deliberately interfere with any dog.

The equipment at K9 Korner is provided for dogs to use and enjoy, so we cannot accept responsibility for injuries resulting from children using or climbing on it. Please also do not allow children to climb over the walls of the polytunnel decking area. For hygiene reasons, we recommend that children do not play in the sand pit as dogs often urinate in it. Parents/guardians are responsible for supervising their children and will be liable for any damage caused by them.

Yes, the outside area has 7ft mesh fencing as well as dig proof fencing. Both the internal and external entrances are a double gate system, providing an additional layer of security.

Yes, our 24m polytunnel! There’s no need for play sessions to be cancelled due to the weather, everyone can stay dry in the polytunnel, plus there’s a pergola with picnic table either side of the 30m outdoor area to provide shelter from rain or sun. There’s no grass too, so no muddy paws or wet jeans / shoes!

We have a number of nervous dogs attend breed meets, some of them surprised their owners and were soon running around with their new bestie, while others take things a little slower. We go at the dog’s pace, and nothing will be forced on them. The outside area can be split into three separate sections, so if your dog needs some space alone, it’s there for them. The polytunnel also has a number of areas that can be sectioned off. The owner is on hand to oversee breed meets and will be happy to help you and your dog at any time.

Unfortunately not, but we do recommend:

Yes we do! We’ve teamed up with The Barking Bakery to offer a birthday package where, for an additional fee, the birthday boy / girl will receive one of their yoghurt topped party cakes along with 10 bags of their cheesey pupcorn bags for guests. The venue will also be decked out with bunting and birthday banners both inside the polytunnel and the outside play area.
