Grow Walkies - Secure Dog Field

Zoomies, Sniffies & Tail Waggies – Why I Love Grow Walkies Secure Dog Field in Headcorn, Kent!

It's Peggy here, your favourite treat-loving Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and today I'm taking over the blog to tell you all about one of my favourite places in Kent...

Grow Walkies Secure Dog Field in Headcorn!

If you've never visited a secure dog field before, prepare to have your tail blown off (don't worry... it grows back... I checked).

Whether you're a puppy, a senior snoozer, a rescue dog, or just a professional zoomie expert like me, secure dog fields are one of the best places to explore.

What is a Secure Dog Field?

A secure dog field is exactly what it sounds like—a fully enclosed area that you can book privately, giving you exclusive use during your session.

That means...

🐾 No unexpected dogs

🐾 No cyclists whizzing past

🐾 No runners appearing from nowhere

🐾 No worrying about roads or traffic

Just you, your humans and acres of freedom.

Grow Walkies Headcorn offers around 2.5 acres of securely fenced countryside, complete with private bookings, secure access, fresh water and agility equipment, making it a brilliant place for dogs to safely enjoy off-lead adventures. Why I LOVE Grow Walkies ❤️

ZOOOOOMIES!

Have you ever had so much excitement bottled up inside that you just need to sprint?

That's me.

The second my lead comes off...

💨 WHOOSH!

I become a four-legged rocket.

The best bit?

Mum doesn't have to shout every three seconds...

"PEGGY... COME BACK!"

Because she knows I'm safe inside the secure fencing.

I Can Sniff EVERYTHING

Dogs don't see the world...

We smell it.

Every blade of grass tells a story.

Who's been here?

Was it a Labrador?

A Spaniel?

Did someone leave chicken behind?

I need to investigate.

A secure field lets me sniff to my heart's content without being rushed.

Perfect for Playing

Grow Walkies has loads of space to play fetch, tug, practise tricks or simply roll around looking ridiculous (my personal favourite).

If you're training recall, building confidence or teaching new tricks, it's the perfect distraction-free environment too. 

Why Secure Dog Fields are Amazing for Dogs

Not every dog feels comfortable on busy public walks.

Secure fields give every dog the chance to enjoy freedom safely.

They're especially brilliant for...

🐶 Reactive Dogs

If your dog worries about other dogs or people, exclusive-use fields remove that pressure.

No surprise encounters.

No stressful passing dogs.

Just calm, relaxed adventures.

🐶 Puppies

Young puppies can practise recall and confidence without the dangers of roads or distractions.

Learning becomes fun.

🐶 Rescue Dogs

Many rescue dogs have unknown histories or unreliable recall.

A secure field allows them to experience freedom safely while building trust with their owners.

🐶 Senior Dogs

Older dogs might not want huge countryside hikes anymore.

Instead they can wander, sniff and enjoy gentle exercise at their own pace.

🐶 High Energy Dogs

Looking at you...

Border Collies.

Spaniels.

Labradors.

Malinois.

Staffies (yes... guilty.)

A proper run burns physical and mental energy, often leaving us happier and more settled afterwards.

Benefits of Using a Secure Dog Field

Here are just a few reasons why more dog owners across Kent are booking secure fields:

✅ Safe off-lead exercise

✅ Fantastic recall training

✅ Builds confidence

✅ Great for nervous dogs

✅ Perfect for multi-dog households

✅ Ideal for dog photographers

✅ Excellent enrichment

✅ Stress-free walks

✅ Secure fencing offers peace of mind

✅ Exclusive private bookings

Why Mental Enrichment Matters

People often think dogs only need physical exercise.

Wrong.

We need brain exercise too!

Sniffing, exploring, problem-solving and discovering new environments tires us out in the best possible way.

After an hour at Grow Walkies...

I usually sleep like I've worked a full-time job.

(Which, to be fair, chasing tennis balls basically is.)

  

A Dog's Verdict ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Would I recommend Grow Walkies?

Absolutely.

It's one of my favourite places to stretch my legs, practise my zoomies and spend quality time with Mum.

Every visit is different.

Every visit is exciting.

And every visit ends with me happily snoozing in the car on the way home.

Life doesn't get much better than that.

Phoebe Gets New Wheels

 🐾 Phoebe’s New Wheels: Because 14 Is the New 4! 💚

If you’ve been following our adventures for a while, you’ll know that little Phoebe is officially 14 years young. 🥹💕

And while she may still have the attitude of a puppy, her body is starting to remind us that she’s definitely earned her senior-dog status!

Phoebe is now going blind, is slightly deaf (or, as we like to call it, has developed selective hearing 😂), and her back legs are becoming increasingly weak. Over the past few months, walks have become much harder for her. She used to happily come along for our 45-minute-plus adventures, but these days she can manage around 15–20 minutes before her legs start to wobble and give way.

The hardest part was watching her miss out on our field adventures. 💔

We’d arrive at the fields and, by the time we got there, Phoebe had already used so much energy just getting around that she was exhausted. She still wanted to be part of the fun, but her little legs just weren’t always up for it.

Enter… Phoebe’s chariot. 👑🐶

We were absolutely thrilled when PawHut kindly gifted us their EasyFold Trail Pet Stroller, and honestly… it has been a complete game changer!

Now Phoebe can ride to the fields in style, saving all those precious little leg muscles for actually enjoying herself once we get there. 🥰

Once we arrive, she can hop out and have a little wander around at her own pace, sniff all the important smells, investigate what everyone else is doing and generally pretend she’s still a young whippersnapper. 😂

And when her legs start getting tired?

Straight back into the stroller she goes! 🛒🐾

She can have a rest, enjoy the scenery and then get back out again when she feels ready. It means she gets to be included in our walks without having to push herself beyond what her body can comfortably manage.

And the best part?

It’s big enough for Prue to squeeze in with her too! 😂

Because obviously one pensioner in a luxury chariot wasn't enough. Prue saw the new wheels and apparently decided this was now a two-dog chauffeur service.

💚 What do we love about it?

The PawHut stroller has been designed with adventures in mind, with three large rubber wheels that are suitable for different terrains, making it particularly useful for our trips to the fields and parks. The front wheel can also be locked for extra control.

It has a soft, removable and washable cushion, which is VERY important when your passengers include muddy dogs who believe personal hygiene is optional. 😂

There’s also an adjustable canopy, safety tethers inside, reflective strips and a rear footbrake, giving us peace of mind while Phoebe is cruising around.

And because apparently senior dogs need luggage too, there’s plenty of storage underneath and pockets at the back for all the essentials. Treats, poo bags, leads… basically everything required for a five-star dog outing. 🐾😂

It also folds down easily, making it much easier to pop in the car when we're heading out on an adventure.

PawHut says this particular stroller is suitable for small and medium dogs up to 43cm in length and 20kg, and specifically highlights it as being suitable for senior pets or pets who tire easily — which makes it a pretty perfect match for our little Phoebe. 💚

🥹 More adventures for our old girl

At 14, we know Phoebe isn't going to be running around fields for an hour like she once did.

And that's okay.

We're learning to adapt our adventures around her, rather than expecting her to keep up with everyone else.

The stroller means she can still come along, still experience all the smells and sights, still have her little wanders and, most importantly, still be part of the gang.

Because getting older shouldn't mean missing out on all the fun. ❤️

And judging by the fact that Phoebe is 1000000% happy with her new wheels, we think she agrees!

She has officially entered her “I'm not walking, darling. I have people for that” era. 👑😂

A HUGE thank you to PawHut for gifting Phoebe her brand-new chariot and allowing our little old lady to keep enjoying her adventures with us. 💚🐾

If you're looking for a way to help a senior, recovering or easily-tired pup enjoy more adventures, definitely have a look at the PawHut pet stroller range.

Peggy Loves Pup & Kits Lid-It Bowls

Why I, Peggy the Pup, Am Obsessed with My Pup & Kit Bowl 🐶💕

Hi friends — it’s me, Peggy! If you know me, you know I take mealtime very seriously. Food is life, right? But lately, my meals have gotten a serious upgrade, and it’s all thanks to my new Lid-it® Dog Bowl from Pup & Kit.

Let me tell you why I love it (and why you probably need one too).

🍽️ My Food Stays Fresh (and Smells Amazing!)

The best part? This clever bowl comes with a stay-fresh lid! When my human pops the lid on, it keeps my food fresh and locks in all those delicious smells I love. No stale kibble here — just yummy meals every time.

It’s also perfect when we go out on adventures. My human packs my food, seals it tight, and — ta-da! — no spills, no leaks, and no mess in the car.

🐾 Looks Good, Feels Good

I’m not just about taste… I’ve got style too. My bowl comes in two gorgeous colours — Grey and Beige — so it matches our kitchen perfectly. (Personally, I think the Beige one complements my fur beautifully.)

And get this — my bowl doesn’t slide around, even when I get a little too excited about dinner. It’s got a non-slip base, so it stays right where I want it.

🧼 Easy for My Human, Too

Apparently, my human likes that the bowl and lid are dishwasher safe. That means less scrubbing and more time for belly rubs — so honestly, we both win.

It even has measurement markers inside, which my human says helps with portion control. I’m not sure what that means, but as long as the bowl’s full, I’m happy.

🐢 Add-Ons That Make Mealtime Even Better

Now, here’s where things get exciting! You can add extra features to make your feeding setup paw-fectly complete:

1. 🐾 Slow Feeder Bowl Insert
   Sometimes I eat a little too fast (hey, it’s delicious!). This clever insert helps me slow down and enjoy every bite. It’s like a fun puzzle and a snack all in one!

2. 🐶 Silicone Feeding Mat
   My human added this matching mat under my bowls — and wow, it keeps everything so neat. No more splashes or crumbs on the floor. It makes my mealtime setup look so fancy.

   

Together, they make the perfect Pup & Kit feeding set — stylish, smart, and oh-so-satisfying.

🦴 Sizes for Every Pup

Whether you’re a tiny terrier or a big, lovable lab, there’s a size just right for you:

• Small (400 ml)

• Medium (800 ml)

• Large (1,400 ml)

I use the medium one, and it’s just right for my dinner portions.

🎁 A Special Treat for You (and Your Human!)

Want to join me in mealtime bliss? You can grab your own Lid-it Bowl and all the add-ons from Pup & Kit

Use my special code PEGGY15 at checkout to get 15% off your order!

Because every good dog deserves great food — and a stylish bowl to match.

Love and tail wags,
Peggy 🐾

Peggy Becomes a Hugo & Ted Brand Rep

Peggy Joins the Hugo & Ted Team 🎉

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Peggy is now a brand ambassador for Hugo & Ted, one of our favourite British pet-and-hooman brands. Their ethos of crafting practical, handmade, eco-conscious accessories fits so beautifully with how we live. Hugo & Ted design everything with versatility and sustainability in mind — dog jumpers, coats, harnesses, beds, matching hooman fleeces, and more — all made to measure in the UK. 

As part of the HT family, Peggy is excited to try (and share) lots of their gear — and you get to enjoy it too: use discount code HTTEAM for 10% off Hugo & Ted products (on top of whatever their current pricing is).

Peggy’s Personalised Picks

One of the BEST things about Hugo & Ted is customisation. Peggy has already claimed a few items in her name (and made her siblings a little envious!). Here’s what she’s loving:

Car Boot Liner in Khaki

We got the Waterproof Car Boot Liner / Car Seat Liner (also usable as a travel or picnic mat) in Khaki with matching Khaki stitching, and personalised with “Reserved for Peggy” across the front.

This liner is waterproof on both sides, easy to clean, and built to protect your car’s boot from muddy paws, wet gear, or anything in between. 

Now the boots are Peggy’s domain — no more muddy paw prints on the bare carpet!

   

Walkies Travel Mat in Khaki

Next up: the Walkies Mat in Khaki with Khaki stitching, embroidered with “Peggy” on the flap.
This one is perfect for outings — it has a waterproof outer shell and a soft fleece lining for comfort. 
It folds neatly, has a strap for carrying or securing to a table/chair leg, and is just the right companion for cafés, parks, or wherever walkies takes you.

   

Sibling Style: Phoebe & Prue

Peggy’s sisters couldn’t resist getting in on the Hugo & Ted love too. Phoebe and Prue each have Personalised Hooman Fleeces in Latte, embroidered with their names.
Because matching your pup is half the fun (or more). Hugo & Ted hand-make matching hooman fleeces, gilets, dresses, hoodies — so the “dog & human outfit game” is strong.

So yes — we now have a full crew in coordinated gear.

   

Why We Love Hugo & Ted

• They prioritise sustainability: reuse of fabric remnants, plastic-free packaging, UK sourcing.

• Every product is handmade, often to measure, so the fit and finish feel extra special.

• They make versatile, multiuse designs: many of their mats, liners, and accessories can pull double (or triple) duty. 

  How You Can Join In

• Use code HTTEAM for 10% off Hugo & Ted orders (yes, even the nice personalised stuff!)

• Consider ordering your own car boot liner, travel mat, or one of their gorgeous hooman fleeces

• Match with your pup — it’s too fun to resist 😉

I’m excited to share more of Peggy’s adventures in her Hugo & Ted gear, and maybe get you inspired to get some too. Let me know if you want more product highlights or pics — I’d love to show off the details (and maybe post some “Peggy in khaki” shots).
