The Dog Den Farm Adventures - Terms & Conditions

This Agreement represents the Terms and Conditions in relation to The Dog Den Farm Adventures (TDDFA).

TDDFA will take place on private land, located in Puhoi. This block consists of  native bush, ponds and farmland on approximately 100 acres. TDDFA has a barn onsite within a fenced yard, which provides a secure area to unload and load the dogs from/into the van. TDDFA will take place on the surrounding farmland. The land is fenced, but is not dog-proof. The farm is currently used for a small number of livestock, and the livestock will be rotated between various paddocks to avoid any interaction with TDDFA.

Transportation will be provided by TDDFA, and dogs must be dropped off no later than 9:00am.

All dogs taking part in TDDFA must sign a Day Care Enrolment Form and pass a day care trial, as, on occasion, they may need to go into day care before and / or after attending TDDFA.
