Miss Charlton said: “We’ve been overwhelmed with the amount of bookings and support we’ve had thus far as we have been completely blown up with people contacting us.
“I’ve also gone from a normal 9-5 office job realising it wasn’t for me, to looking at the bond I have with my own dog who has been with me for six years, and falling in love with dogs everywhere.
“Not all dogs are sociable and have particularly good recall, so we wanted to create a safe, enclosed field for them to play, train and exercise in.
“That includes those enquiring for personal hire – so a normal house owner wanting to take their dog for a runabout – or people conducting dog classes, either one-to-one or in groups, so that’s been brilliant.
“There’s nothing like this in Sheerness that I’m aware of having done research and I think that’s why we have had a lot of people reach out already.

“I think a lot of people got dogs around the pandemic and some of those aren’t 100% able to exercise them if they’re older or struggling with their health.
“I also have my own public liability insurance for the dog walking, whereas professional trainers can come in and use the facility from elsewhere by simply carrying out their own risk assessment.”
