ENTRANCE & EXIT PROCEDURE: 
When you enter through the main gate into Car park ONE, please lock the main gate behind you and wait in the first car park for the previous user to vacate from car park TWO. The onus is on the person leaving to lock the front gate again (as this should be kept locked at all times). 
 
You can then drive through to the car park TWO (closing the second gate behind you) and then let your dog/s out of the car from that point. 
 
Car Park ONE is NOT secure and no dogs should be out of the car until your car is safely parked in car park TWO. Car park ONE is a 'holding pen' for hirers entering and exiting only, so that dogs do not have to encounter other dogs or people whilst entering or exiting. Please do not park in Car Park ONE (Unless specific permission has been granted by Haven Dog Walking staff member) 
 
Enter into the next field and close the gate behind you. This means that for extra security, you now have three closed gates between you and the road you entered on. 
 
When you leave there may be someone waiting in the first car park for you to leave and then you lock the front gate when you exit the premises. 
 
Please note that ALL FIELD GATES must be closed behind you when you leave the premises. 
 
• Please arrive on time for your slot and wait in the FIRST car park area for the previous hirer to vacate before entering the SECOND area. This is of the UTMOST importance as a previous hirer’s dog may need space from either you or your dogs! 
 
• Please note that bookings are ‘back to back’. This means that you should vacate the premises on time at the end of your booking as another hirer will arrive for their usage. (see above) 
 
• The Hirer shall ensure that the premises are secure at all times and shall not divulge any lock combination codes under any circumstances to any third parties. The codes are subject to change at any time by Haven Dog Walking without notice. 
 
AGILITY FIELD 
The first small field adjacent to car park two is the Agility field. Other users are NOT permitted to use this space at any time. 
 
Agility may be going on throughout the year and therefore both car parks may be in use and parking limited. You must park in either car park one or car park two.
