No, only assistance dogs are allowed (see next question). Even the best behaved dogs can see red when confronted by something to chase. This can be extremely dangerous and stressful for our animals. We have a strict no dogs policy unless it is a certified Guide Dog.

We are happy to welcome Guide Dogs for the Blind, Disability Assistance Dogs, Disability Support Dogs, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, Medical Assistance Dogs and Seizure Alert Dogs provided that:

• They are fully registered*, kept under control and accompanied by their owners.
• Owners must show the relevant Identification Cards upon entering the Farm and all assistance dogs must wear their identifying jackets whilst on site. ID card and jackets are a part of the regulations for all Registered and Trained Support Dogs in the UK.
• There may be times when our livestock is loose on site, so it is best to call ahead and we can always advise best times to visit

*Trained and certified by either an Assistance Dogs International (ADI) accredited program or by an International Guide Dog Federation (IGDF) accredited program.

We are unable to accept assistance dogs in training.
