XL BULLY PADDOCK USE & T’s&C’s
XL BULLY PADDOCK COMPLIANCE for paddock use.
As of the 31st December 2023 new paddock rules apply for XL BULLY owners.
I would like to confirm we are still able to offer our enclosed space to all XL Type breeds.
What you need to know:
🐾You will need to have your dog muzzle trained
🐾Your dog must be muzzled and on lead from the car, in the carpark prior to paddock entry and exit must be re-muzzled and back on lead to leave and straight back to your vehicle.
🐾DOGS can only be released when in the paddock. The muzzle can ONLY be removed once the paddock gate is LOCKED behind you and your dog and you are secure.
🐾Dogs must be neutered and microchipped-in line with government rules
🐾The dog handler ratio is 1:1 with their handler at all times. Only dogs from same household during the booking slot allowed.
🐾Make sure you have a copy of your public liability insurance to hand.
🐾Your dog must be registered with the index of exempted dogs (EID)a copy of life certificate should be available at all times.
🐾🐶Recommend to keep the above documents on your person at all times.
🐾Please note our paddock is away from any public footpaths and the paddock is on private property with no public access passing through as noted in the government guidelines and stipulated by our insurance company.
🐾A padlock with code will be on the inside of the gates and this must be locked firmly when in the paddock at all times. The code will be available from inside the paddock.
Please note the booking form has now changed and you will now be required to enter your EID Registration number at each booking. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause but for us to comply with our insurance and the government legislation is has to be applied must be filled out correctly at each booking.
I hope this offers some light relief in difficult time and all existing clients old and new enjoy their paddock time. Thank you
