Dog exercise and training paddocks East Cowton

A warm welcome awaits

My Happy Hounds fuelled by FUN!

Here at My Happy Hounds, we welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes, whatever the breed. The paddocks and training barn are designed to cater for a diverse range of needs to allow for the best off-lead experiences. They are safe, private spaces that minimise distractions and maximise fun!

Your dog can enjoy the freedom to choose from activities that excite the senses, with areas to sniff, dig, explore, play, climb and run - or just chill out and relax. It's their choice!

Each paddock has its own secure parking area, simply close and lock the gate behind you and the paddock is all yours with no unexpected visitors or dogs! Whilst your dog(s) are having a great time, you can also relax on one the seating areas dotted around each paddock. Hot and cold drinks are available in the paddock caravans.

Also check out our new 40ft training barn, which offers a versatile indoor / outdoor space with or without your furry friend.

Our vision is to create a happier life for all dogs and their parents, irrespective of breed or issue faced. At My Happy Hounds we offer an inclusive, friendly place to meet, learn and have fun.

Fun

At My Happy Hounds we’re fuelled by fun and there’s something for every dog, whatever they like to do! Whether they like to dig, sniff, run, play or chill, we have it covered! A great place for emotional, mental and physical workouts whilst improving their quality of life, increasing their resilience and reducing undesirable behaviours – it’s a win win!

Freedom

Let’s get back to basics and allow our dogs just to be dogs - Our paddocks encourage the learning of new skills, the freedom to practice and express natural behaviours. For the more energetic they might choose to run, climb and weave through the agility equipment. Or maybe they would prefer to chill and relax, and this is the place to do just that!

Safe & Sound

Surrounded by high fencing and screening, our paddocks are a place where you can relax whilst your dogs go off and explore, safe in the knowledge that this space is all yours for the duration of your session. With your own secure parking area, you close and lock the gate behind you and the paddock is all yours to enjoy.
We’ve got your back!

Do you find walking your dog stressful?
Is your dog unpredictable with other dogs?
Do you need somewhere suitable to train your dog?
Is your dog anxious when out walking?

For many of us walking our dog is a stressful experience. It may be that your dog doesn’t like being on a lead, yet when off lead, doesn’t always come back when called. Maybe your dog chases everything that moves or is anxious and struggles with passing traffic and noise? Maybe there’s just nowhere suitable for you to practice your training, or you no longer feel safe out walking your dog alone. Whatever the reason we understand!

We decided to create a safe, fun space for our dogs to run and exercise freely as two of our three dogs really dislike other dogs. They will react by barking and lunging to try and make them go away. Since lockdown many more dogs have appeared, and we needed a solution that worked for us and our dogs.

So welcome to My Happy Hounds! A place where we totally understand your struggles as a dog owner.

Dog welfare should be a priority for us all and facilities such as this one can do a great deal to improve the welfare of dogs who need a safe exercise space to visit.
Suzie, Catterick
I am a local dog professional and have lots of clients in the area that would benefit greatly from a provision of this kind.
Gill, North Yorkshire
A provision like this is so important for me and my dog. I need to walk in areas away from other dogs as my dog is reactive, yet as a lone dog walker I worry for my own safety. This is a godsend for us both
Angela, Darlington
I’m desperate for this! My dog needs a safe space to get rid of all his energy but when I let him off his lead I worry he’s going to run off and get hurt.
Jo, Richmond
My dog prefers quieter walks away from other dogs and people and having an enclosed safe space means no unexpected surprises!
