Peace of mind for escapologists, sighthounds, and reactive dogs. These fields feature 6ft+ fencing to keep your dog safe and secure.
For some dogs, a standard stock fence just isn't enough. Whether you have a jumping Lurcher, an agile Husky, or a reactive dog that needs total seclusion, our curated list of high-fence fields gives you the confidence to relax while they run free. The difference between a 4ft field and a 6ft field isn't just two extra feet of steel — it's the difference between genuine containment and a field that a motivated Lurcher or Husky will clear on their second lap. Six feet (1.8m) is the recognised minimum for breeds with high prey drive or a history of fence-jumping, and it's the threshold we use for this filtered list. Every field here has been physically inspected or owner-verified to confirm the fence height claim — because we've found that online listings often say '6ft' when the reality is a 5ft stock fence with a 1ft concrete plinth that doesn't count. Beyond the fence height, look at the gate system. A single-gate field with a standard latch is a risk with an excitable dog during entry and exit. All the fields on this list use double-gated airlock systems — you enter the first gate, close it, then open the second — so there's no moment where your dog is near an open perimeter. For reactive dogs specifically, visual screening from outside (solid fencing rather than post-and-rail) matters enormously. We indicate this on each listing.
Every field on this list has 6ft (1.8m) fencing or higher.
Checked for gaps, secure gates, and perimeter integrity.
Air-locked handling areas for safe entry and exit.
Most offer total visual screening from the outside world.
These locations have been specifically verified to meet our criteria for High Fence Secure Dog Fields in Kent based on their amenities and user reviews.
Finding the best spots...
We define a secure field as one with perimeter fencing of at least 1.8m (6ft), a double-gated airlock entry system, and exclusive-use booking (no other dogs during your session). This list specifically filters for the 6ft height requirement — we don't include fields that claim 6ft but use a shorter fence with a concrete plinth to make up the difference.
Many are, but XL Bully suitability depends on more than fence height — it requires the field operator to have appropriate public liability insurance that covers the breed. Look for our XL Bully Verified badge on individual listings, or use our dedicated XL Bully guide which covers the specific insurance and facility requirements.
Yes, all fields allow multiple dogs. Most include two dogs in the base booking price, with a small supplement (typically £2–5) for additional dogs. Maximum numbers vary by field — most cap at 4–6 dogs. If you're bringing a large group, check the specific field's booking terms before reserving.
Not all of them — this varies by site. Some have a purpose-built covered area or barn-style shelter; others are entirely open-air. If wet-weather shelter matters to you (it absolutely should in Kent between October and April), check the amenities section on each individual listing before booking.
6ft fencing is a physical measurement that most competent dogs cannot clear. Our 'Maximum Security' accreditation goes further: it requires 6ft fencing PLUS a double-gated airlock, solid visual screening on at least three sides (so reactive dogs can't see through to passing traffic or other dogs), and an annual inspection by our verification team. Not all 6ft fields reach Maximum Security — some use post-and-rail that meets the height requirement but doesn't provide visual screening.
We have a dedicated guide for fields that are insured and set up for banned breeds under specific conditions.
