Posted on 23/02/2024 11:36 by ArchFor the life of me I cannot understand why the club allows these enclosures I've never seen the dogs on a lead in them they run loose doing their business the owners give no thought to their neighbours or the next occupants of the pitch, the club should put an end to this practice now, I'm seeing increasing numbers of these enclosures on sites and avoid pitching next one.

It isn't just dogs in enclosures that relieve themselves on pitches as I have seen quite a number of dog owners often with the dog/s on an extended lead, let their dogs foul grass areas and pitches, sometimes occupied pitches, often early in the morning when they think no-one is up! I am a dog owner and never let my dog/s foul on the grass or on the ptiches and it infuriates me when others do, as all dog owners are then assumed to do so.

Posted on 22/02/2024 17:46 by JollyKernowDog enclosures aren't a problem on our sites as long as the fire separation to the next pitch is adhered to. Saying that, even with that type of enclosure the dogs should still be tethered while inside it. An untethered dog is an out of control dog no matter how cute and cuddly and friendly they may be. I've been bitten a few times while doing this job even by an escaped dog from an enclosure.

Posted on 23/02/2024 12:45 by JollyKernowMy only gripe and not much to do with the op sorry! Flexi leads of any sort. They were invented to aid in recall training, if only people on the end of that mile long rope understood that

JK..Agree, no anti dog rant. I was simply replying to your post with my own personal experience.
Aside....I have been, in the past, quite vocal on CT regarding dogs on Site.. but just to be clear (as they say)..I have in the past, owned several dogs , not at the same time, and two Grey Hunter geldings. I and OH did not belong to any hunt but were fortunate to have woodlands close by where we enjoyed our riding with the dogs..

One of the reasons why we don’t use CAMC sites. I am not a dog lover. I do not believe I should be bothered by peoples’ dogs and that includes not having them urinate or worse on my pitch. I believe in Spain if your dog urinates you are supposed to spray disinfectant on it. Wish that happened here. I really can’t see why people can’t stick to the rules of having dogs on a short lead at ALL times.

Jane, the OP, asked a genuine question which, it seemed to me, indicated that she wanted to avoid her dogs impinging on neighbouring pitches. There was no indication that the dogs would be left loose , unattended or allowed to defecate or urinate on the pitch. It's such a shame that the thread has deteriorated into the predictable negative comments.

The OP was asking about enclosed pitches the following reply suggested using an enclosure common sense questions the need for either if the dog/dogs are on a lead as required by club rules, this is not a negative reply and I cannot see any of the others were.

I think you are right, Arch but we have to be careful. It would only be right to recognise all aspects and opinions when discussing the poster’s questions. Yes, there are negatives and positives but mostly these are to do with owners behaviours and not their pets. Statistically the most dangerous animal in the UK today is the domesticated dog, that’s now a well documented fact. It used to be cattle! The club is right to assist all in their enjoyment of our shared pastime and they need to recognise all viewpoints.

Posted on 19/02/2024 13:26 by Jane nHi can anybody recommend any sites that have enclosed pitch’s ( fab idea when travelling with multiple dogs) thank you ☺️

Jane, the only club site which comes to mind is Melrose, Gibson Park which has just a very few pitches at the rear of the site bordered on 3 sides by hedges and a high bank. Another is an independent site at Polstead, Suffolk (formerly a C&CC franchised site) which has a few pitches bordered by hedges on 3 sides.
