Only dog fields
Built for one kind of business, and it shows.
Gaps between bookings, gate codes that change weekly, a price per dog, a rained-off Wednesday refunded in one go. Software that already knows how a dog field works. Here is one field's Wednesday — scroll, and it explains itself. Everything else is listed underneath.

Illustrative day. Your week, your prices.
One at a time
A slot is the whole field, not a seat in it
Somebody books 09:00 and the field is theirs until 09:55. No second party, no double-booking to unpick over the phone.
The gap
Five minutes at the end of every hour
Set once, carried by every slot: the 09:00 is gone before the 10:00 arrives. Nobody meets in the car park.
Per dog
Price the hour, then each dog after the first
Here it's £12 an hour, £6 a dog after the first: two dogs is £18, worked out before anyone reaches the card. No conversation at the gate.
Labels
Put a reactive-dogs hour in the week
Any window can carry a label, shown on your booking page. The dogs that need a quiet hour can find one without a phone call.
When it rains
Shut the whole day in one go
Close Wednesday and every booking is cancelled, refunded and emailed in one go. You get a call sheet for the ones arriving within the hour.
Everything in it
The whole list, from the first booking to the month-end invoice.
Every field gets all of it for £29 a month. Texts are the one extra — see pricing.
Your page
A page for your field that people actually find
Not a listing on somebody else's site: your own page, written the way Google reads, with today's free slots on it.
Your own address, with your town in it
Your hours, prices and location are written into the page as the structured data search engines look for, and it is in the sitemap the day you go live.
Photos, a map and the way in
A gallery straight from your phone, a map with a directions link, a tap-to-call number, and your own “how to find it” notes.
What the field has
Fence height, parking, water, shelter, floodlights, whether it suits reactive dogs, and how many acres — ticked once, shown on the page.
A link that looks good when shared
Paste your page into WhatsApp or Facebook and it unfurls as a card with your field's name, town and price.
On your own website too
Already have a site? Paste two lines into it and your free slots and booking form appear there. Customers pick a time on your site, pay on Stripe's secure page, and get the same confirmation.
Listed under your county
Every live field appears in the wagfield index by county and town, so a dog owner searching nearby has one more way to reach you.
Paused, never gone
Close the field or stop paying and the page stays up saying bookings are paused, rather than turning into a dead link.
Slots and prices
Book the way your field actually runs
Every slot is the whole field for whoever booked it. You decide how long, how much, and how much room to leave between people.
Half-hours and hours, side by side
Offer up to three slot lengths — 30, 60 and 90 minutes, say — each with its own price. Customers choose a length and see what is free in it.
Up to 3 lengths · 15 min to 8 hours each
A fixed grid, never a drifting one
Every length starts on the same grid, set by the shortest. A 60 can start at 9:30 on a half-hour field, and the day never ends up full of awkward gaps.
A gap so nobody meets in the car park
Set the minutes at the end of each slot for clearing the field, or set none. Customers see it honestly: “30-min slot · 25 min in the field, last 5 to clear it”.
0 minutes upwards
A price per dog
Say how many dogs the price includes and what each extra dog costs. The total is worked out before anyone reaches the card.
Up to 12 dogs a booking
Labelled hours
Mark a window “Reactive dogs only” or anything else, and it shows on your booking page so the right people find it.
A discount for booking several
Optional: book at least a set number of visits in one go and get a percentage off. One rule, no tiers.
2–10 visits · up to 50% off
How far ahead, and how late
Choose how far into the future people can book and how much notice you need before a slot.
1–365 days ahead · up to 2 weeks’ notice
Gate code and reminders
The right code, at the right time, by email or text
For owners who change the code every week and book people weeks in advance: the code a customer gets is the one that works on the day of their visit.
A gate code list with dates
Enter this week’s code and next week’s now. Every email and text carries the code that is valid on the day of the visit, whenever it is sent.
Send it at booking, or only shortly before
Hold the code back until your reminder goes out. Until then the customer’s booking page says when it is coming, instead of showing an old one.
Change the code, tell the right people
Save a change and wagfield lists everyone holding the old code for a visit after it, and offers to tell them by email, text or both.
Up to three reminders
Directions the day before, your rules the night before, the code two hours out — any schedule you like, each by email, text or both.
Up to 3 · 1 hour to 1 week before
You choose what each one says
Turn the gate code, directions, field rules and a link to the booking on or off per reminder, and add a short note. You see the real email as you set it up.
Texts that fit in one message
Sent from your field’s name with the day, time and code, each using one credit. No texts between 9pm and 8am, unless the visit is that day.
One text · one credit
See what went out
Every booking shows each reminder as sent, due or skipped, and why — no mobile on file, out of credit, or told already.
Passes
Sell time in advance
Package deals without the arithmetic: a Pass holds minutes of your field, so one Pass covers half-hours and hours alike.
Packs of hours, priced by you
“5 hours” spent as ten half-hours, five hours or any mix. Set the size and the price; wagfield shows the customer the saving.
Up to 3 Passes a field
Spent without anyone thinking about it
A signed-in customer’s booking draws from their Pass automatically. If it runs short, the card pays only for the minutes it did not cover, plus any extra dogs.
Minutes come back when they should
Cancel in good time and the minutes return. Close a day and they always return. Cancelled too late? You can still give them back by hand.
Issue one by hand
Sold one for cash at the gate, or making amends? Put a Pass on a customer’s account yourself, with a note of why.
The 14-day right, shown for you
The 14-day cancellation right and its waiver are shown at checkout and in the confirmation email. Passes last 12 months, with a reminder 30 days before.
12 months · warning at 30 days
Refunds in one tap
Refund a Pass’s unused minutes from your Passes list. Close the field and every Pass bought by card is refunded automatically.
When plans change
Moves, cancellations and rained-off days
Customers sort out their own changes within the rules you set, and the money follows without you touching it.
Customers manage their own bookings
Every booking email carries a link: cancel or move it, without ringing you or needing an account.
Your cancellation window
Free cancellation always, up to 12, 24 or 48 hours before, up to a week before, or never. Cancel before your cut-off and the refund is automatic; after it, it’s your call.
One late move
Inside the window a customer can still move once, giving up the refund to do it — so a clash becomes a later visit, not a no-show.
Your call, always
Cancel any booking with a full refund, part of one or none, and refund more later if you change your mind.
Rained off in one go
Close the rest of today, tomorrow, a week, chosen dates or single slots. Everyone is cancelled, refunded and told by email, and by text while you have credits, with a call sheet for anyone due today.
Open back up
Lift a closure and anyone on that day’s waiting list hears the field is free again.
Clear about who they are booking with
Before paying, customers read that they are booking with your field and exactly when they can cancel for a refund — your terms, in one sentence.
Regulars
For the people who come back
Waiting lists for the busy days, several visits in one payment, and proper terms for the walkers who book every week.
A waiting list on full days
Customers leave an email and mobile on a full day. When a slot frees they get an email, and a text while you have credits — first to book gets it. You see how many are waiting.
Several visits, one payment
Book a handful of slots in one checkout, mixing lengths, or tap “repeat weekly” to pick the same slot for weeks ahead.
Up to 10 visits a booking
Accounts, with no password
Optional for customers: sign in with Google or an emailed code to see every booking in one place and book faster next time.
Commercial walkers on account
Mark a walker as trade and they book with no card: a flat rate per slot, standing weekly slots, and one invoice at the end of the month.
Direct Debit for the month-end bill
Walkers can set up a Direct Debit once, and their monthly invoice is collected from your own Stripe account without anyone chasing it.
Running the field
Everything in one place, on your phone
Built to be used one-handed, outdoors, with a lead in the other hand.
The next fortnight at a glance
Who is coming, how many dogs, and what each day is taking, with the next booking opened up.
Day and week calendar
How full each day is, closed days, and waiting-list counts. Tap a free slot to add a booking.
Phone and cash bookings
Add a booking yourself, marked as paid at the gate or simply holding the slot.
Your customers, searchable
Every customer with their booking history and total spent.
Spreadsheets whenever you like
Download your customers and your bookings as spreadsheets at any time — including on the day you leave.
More than one field
Run several fields from one login with a switcher at the top, on one bill.
Told as it happens
An email for every new booking, cancellation and move, and customers’ replies come straight to you.
Money
Paid up front, straight to you
Customers pay when they book, and the money goes to your own Stripe account. wagfield never holds it and never takes a cut.
Paid before they arrive
Card payment at booking through Stripe. The slot is held while they pay, so nobody else can take it halfway through.
Slot held 15 minutes
Your money, your account
You are the business taking the payment. It lands in your Stripe account and pays out to your bank on Stripe’s schedule.
Never sold twice
If a payment arrives after the slot went to someone else, it is refunded automatically, with an apology.
Free until you go live
A guided setup from hours to Stripe, then a look at exactly what the public will see. £29 a month starts the day your field can be booked.
Stripe only, for now
Card payments run through Stripe. Cash at the gate works alongside it as a booking you add yourself.
Your field could run like this.
Free to set up. £29 a month from the day you go live.
