From the 1st February 2024 it will be a criminal offence to own an XL Bully in England and Wales unless you have a Certificate of Exemption for that dog. The Law says that from 31st December 2023 these exempt dogs will have to be muzzled and on a lead when in public, including when they are exercised, unless they are locked inside a secure private field which they cannot escape from.
At Deerfield Dog Walk, we understand the challenges associated with owning dogs that may have acquired a certain reputation as we have owned Rotties for many years. Recognizing the mental and physical benefits of allowing dogs to freely run and play without constraints, such as muzzles and leads, we are committed to supporting all dog owners in safely and lawfully exercising their pets. Our fields are open to booking for all breeds, and we welcome ALL breeds- particularly acknowledging the importance of providing a space for owners of breeds affected by the ban to be able to walk their dogs safely and without prejudices.
In light of potential concerns from field users regarding encounters with certain dogs, we have outlined some points in an XL Bully Policy to help allay any concerns that may be raised. This policy aims to reassure users about their ongoing safety when using the field. Since opening, we have dogs of various breeds that visit us, including XL Bully types , without encountering any issues. To further mitigate potential concerns, we have established a 10-minute buffer to minimize crossover issues. Additionally, our secure gates and gate codes contribute to preventing to any unintended encounters.
We want to ensure a positive and safe experience for everyone using our fields. If you have any apprehensions or questions, please feel free to contact us. We are here to address your concerns and provide assistance whenever possible.
THE DEERFIELD STORY
We wanted
Safety not Anxiety...
Welcome to Deerfield Dog Walk, where the passion for our four-legged friends led us to create a haven for dogs and their owners alike. Our story is rooted in a love for Rottweilers, companions that have been a part of our lives for many years. However, being proud Rottie owners came with its own set of challenges.
Picture this - as we strolled through the neighborhood with our beloved Rottweilers, it wasn't uncommon for people to cross the road to avoid us. Misconceptions about the breed and unfounded fears made our walks less enjoyable than they should have been. Yet, our dedication to our dogs never wavered.
Our turning point came when our current canine companion, from a young age, experienced a traumatic incident. He was on a lead, while an unleashed larger dog set upon him. The encounter left our boy with anxiety issues, especially around other dogs. The struggle to find a secure place to walk him without the constant worry of unexpected encounters became a daily challenge.
Realizing that we weren't alone in facing this predicament, we began having heartfelt conversations with fellow dog owners who shared our struggles. The need for a safe and secure environment for dogs to play and socialize without the anxiety of unleashed dogs became evident. Out of these shared experiences and a shared commitment to our furry friends, Deerfield Dog Walking Secure Field was born.
Our secure field is a sanctuary for dogs and their owners, providing a space where everyone can enjoy the simple pleasure of a walk without the constant concern of uncontrolled encounters. We understand the importance of a secure environment for dogs to thrive and build positive interactions with their canine companions.
At Deerfield Dog Walk, we've transformed our challenges into an opportunity to create a community of like-minded individuals who prioritize the well-being of their dogs. Join us in ensuring that every walk is a joyous experience, free from the worries that often accompany dog ownership. Together, let's make every stroll a tail-wagging, carefree adventure for both you and your furry friend.

What people are saying
Delightful introduction by the owner who came to greet us on our first visit. Easily accessible location off the main road - past Maple farm on there is a turn in on your left before the corner. Ample turning space after the gate. Secure paddock with a convenient key code entry system to enter and leave. The paddock features tractor tires, a sandpit, big tree trunk and a sizeable muddy hill. Thanks to the rain, the muddy sections created a spontaneous large doggy pool, much to my dog's delight – bring your wellies! The only hiccup was convincing my water-loving pup to leave. Remember your lead!! Perfectly -sized, naturally scented, muddy, secluded, and safe space. Can't wait to visit again soon!

Firstly the location is just off the main road and situated on a little lane were there is parking/ turning space from when you arrive. There is a enclosed high fenced area within a key coded gate. Within the safe secure area there are a couple of items such as tractor tires ,a large log some agility training poles and a decent sized muddy hill. As a dog walker myself i found this space suitable for the dogs i walk and will certainly be using this space in the future. Thanks Dee
