After a tragic dog attack which saw the lives of dozens of sheep lost a few years ago, Emma Anthony decided it was time to bring her idea of a freedom field for dogs to roam in safely to life. Being a family who have seven dogs of their own and have farmed for generations, the Anthonys were keen to get the ball rolling as soon as they could and make it happen.
It took two years to get full permission to set the business, "Dogz Unleashed" up on their family farm in Tondu, just across the road from Parc Slip. But they said the wait had been worth it now they had a flurry of satisfied customers who had been able to use the space, and were already looking to expand into another field on their farm to keep up with the demand.
The idea is that people can let their dogs off lead in an enclosed field without having to worry about their pet's reaction to other people, animals, or them not coming back. It also gives them an area to train their dogs and get them familiar with recall, as well as being an ideal place for an owner of more than one excited pooch, so they don't have to worry about where they have all gone if they are off lead at the same time.
