Once you have booked your first walk, if you could send us a copy of the Index of Exempted Dogs (IED) Certificate to Sweetwell.fields@gmail.com for our records that would be greatly appreciated.  If you are a regular field user and have already sent us a copy of the IED Certificate, there is no need to send us a copy for each booking.
