Woofworthy is a secure 1 acre field in the town of Holsworthy, Devon. Situated less than a mile from the centre of town it can be easily accessed by car from all surrounding areas and even on foot for those that live locally.

Woofworthy offers a private, safe and stress free environment for dog owners to walk, train and have fun with their dogs, in a beautiful and quiet setting, without the worry of your dog running off, or other dogs, people or distractions interrupting.  

Woofworthy is perfect for building confidence in puppies, young dogs and rescue dogs. It’s also ideal for dogs recovering from illness or injuries, bitches in season and older dogs who want a peaceful potter around, or a calm exercise space. Exempted dogs are also welcome (subject to conditions). Woofworthy provides an amazing secure and exclusive environment for dogs that find other dogs or people worrying and the dogs can run free and play, with their owners knowing their dogs are safe and other dogs or distractions won’t suddenly appear. It is a super space for training dogs of all ages and sizes and developing skills such as recall, retrieve, search work, agility etc. Dogs can run free and explore and there is also a fun selection of equipment and obstacles available to challenge and stimulate your dogs. Owners can rid any fears of their dogs running off, chasing prey or livestock, escaping to other people’s property or onto roads, or of meeting other dogs/people, and instead, just focus on having fun together.

Woofworthy is less than 1 mile from the centre of Holsworthy. For those that live locally why not add a visit into your usual walk? Woofworthy is open 8am-7pm ¹ seven days a week so there is plenty of availability for those that work full time or shifts and who want to exercise their dogs before or after work. It is also a great space for lone walkers to feel safe and secure, or why not arrange to meet up with a friend with their dogs (2 cars & 4 dogs maximum per session) We offer 50 minute time slots starting on the hour and finishing at 10 to the hour – this is to avoid meeting other users at the start and end of sessions. It is possible to book time slots well in advance and you can book regular slots each week. Just click on our easy booking system to reserve your time slot. (Link)

Woofworthy is positioned away from any roads and passing traffic. The field is 1 acre in size and is surrounded by a 6ft high dog fence designed to keep all dogs inside the exercising area safely. Woofworthy is a rural venue so surfaces may be uneven in places. The field is on a slight slope with some flatter spaces. A hardstanding parking area is inside the field. There is an all weather path for when the weather is wet ² and seating and shaded areas including the ‘Woofwagon’ (coming soon) for resting and cooling off on sunny days or staying dry on rainy days. Fresh water is available for dogs to drink and to clean off muddy paws before heading home. We ask owners to provide their own poo bags and clean up after your dogs (spare bags are available) and bins are located for disposing of the poo bags.

Please note there may be horses and livestock visible (at a distance) from the field at times but this provides a great opportunity for training skills to cope with these situations in ‘real life’ whilst still in a safe and secure environment for your dog.
