Zoomies Without the Drama: Halo Dogs Opens a Private Secure Dog Park in Enfield


If your dog believes every walk is an audition for the 100-metre sprint, or thinks "come back here!" is merely a friendly suggestion, then Halo Dogs may have just created your new happy place.

The well-known London dog care specialist has officially opened a Private Hire Secure Dog Park in Enfield, giving dogs the chance to enjoy glorious off-lead freedom in a fully enclosed countryside setting, and giving owners the priceless gift of not having to chase a muddy Labrador halfway across a field.

Set within Halo Dogs' impressive 540-acre countryside estate, the new secure field is available for exclusive private hire. 

That means no unexpected canine gatecrashers, no awkward encounters with dogs that "just want to say hello," and no worrying about whether your four-legged friend will decide today is the perfect day to ignore every bit of recall training you've ever attempted.

Whether you have a bouncy puppy discovering the world, a rescue dog building confidence, a reactive dog that prefers a little personal space, or simply a whirlwind of energy that needs somewhere safe to burn off steam, the park offers a relaxed environment where dogs can simply be dogs.

Owners can use the space for everything from recall practice and training sessions to games of fetch, sniffing adventures or simply sitting back and watching their canine companion perform the legendary "zoomies" at full speed.

Halo Dogs is no newcomer to the world of canine care. Founded by Justin Kumaran in 2009 as a dog rescue centre, the business has grown over the past 16 years into one of London's best-known providers of luxury boarding, daycare, training and behavioural support.

The company has welcomed over half a million dog visits and continues to expand with facilities designed around canine wellbeing.

Justin Kumaran told That's Pets that every dog deserves the opportunity to run, play and explore safely, adding that the new park allows owners to enjoy quality time with their pets in a secure countryside environment built entirely with dogs in mind.

As more owners look for safe places where their pets can exercise without distractions, secure dog parks are becoming an increasingly popular option. They offer peace of mind while giving dogs something they absolutely adore, space to run, sniff every blade of grass, investigate mysterious smells and return home happily exhausted.

After all, a tired dog is usually a contented dog... and a contented dog is far less likely to redecorate your sofa with muddy paw prints or treat your favourite slippers as an afternoon snack.

For dog lovers around North London, Halo Dogs' latest addition looks set to become a paws-itively popular destination.

East London Charity Vet To Pound The City’s Streets To Raise Funds To Help Animals In Need

Celia Hammond Animal Trust Vet, David Murphy, will be putting his best foot forward on Sunday 26 April 2026 when he takes part in the London Marathon to raise funds to help improve the lives of animals in need.

“Working on the frontline of animal welfare in East London, I regularly treat abandoned, feral, and stray animals, in addition to providing urgent and routine low-cost veterinary care to pets belonging to low-income owners,” David Murphy, Vet at Celia Hammond Animal Trust’s Canning Town branch told That's Pets.

Celia Hammond Animal Trust responds to calls from the public, local authorities, and police, and provides an essential service collecting and treating strays as well as animals from backstreet breeders, multi-cat households, and welfare situations. The charity’s work is only made possible thanks to funding and donations from generous animal lovers.

Over the last 40 years, Celia Hammond Animal Trust has…

neutered over 460,000 cats and dogs, and prevented countless animals from being born into a life of suffering on the streets

administered more than half a million vaccinations

provided nearly half a million low-cost veterinary consultations

performed over 130,000 veterinary surgeries, many of them life-saving

rehomed over 73,500 animals

“I started running at parkrun a couple of years ago and soon discovered that I had no talent for running whatsoever, but I really enjoyed it. The London Marathon is going to be a brutal challenge for me as I’ve never run even close to 26 miles, but I am absolutely committed to completing the distance in order to raise as much money as possible for the Celia Hammond Animal Trust,” said Murphy.
