The Sensory Garden is a unique and natural space, combining a wide variety of sensorial activities such as sand pits, bark pits, a meadow with seasonal wildflowers, paddling pools and our ever-popular caterpillar tunnels!

Sensory stimulation is enriching for all breeds of dog and in the summer months the garden really does come alive with planters full of dog-friendly herbs that make for a sniff-worthy experience.

Minto View is a safe and secure acre-sized field, designed to let dogs be dogs! Boasting lush grass and landscaped areas of wild grasses that inspire interest and intrigue, Minto Field encourages dogs’ innate behaviours to shine.

The field also includes a large all-weather play tunnel, bark pits, raised platforms and carved stumps to keep your dog thoroughly entertained.  

Minto Field is also available to hire via our partnership with Run Free.

Designed to provide both physical and mental stimulation, the agility field has a wide array of exciting obstacles and challenges for dogs of all sizes and energy levels.

From jumps and tyre obstacles, raised platforms and bespoke wooden benches, it’s the perfect play space for dogs to enhance their agility, balance, and problem-solving skills; all under the watchful eye and encouragement of the Hilltop team.

At just over an acre in size, Playing Field is another one of our jumbo secure fields and much-loved by dogs who enjoy sprinting, chasing and – of course – zoomies!

Areas of un-mown meadow grass creates intrigue and interest for breeds like terriers, whereas a charming wooden hut and veranda means dogs who enjoy spectating can join in the fun from the comfort of sidelines or sunbathe on our selection of mini cabana beds.

The smallest of our fields, this is a space for puppies and adolescent dogs to gently socialise; building confidence and life skills as they go.

Immediately adjacent to our heated Doggy Barn, the Puppy Field ensures that a day spent at Hilltop goes at your puppy’s pace, with ample time for rest and relaxation in the Barn when needed.

The only doggy day care in Scotland to offer this facility, Hilltop also features an entirely private, fully fenced walk – offering a meandering and picturesque stroll across acres of serene grassland with over 500 native trees, including a large and resplendent ancient oak, which is home to wild birds and other wildlife. 

During the day, in pairs or 1-on-1, day care dogs enjoy lead walks through this space; adding further variety and diversity to their day at Hilltop. 

A large indoor space, complete with doggy lounge, that’s cosy and dry for the dogs (and Day Care Supervisors!) to enjoy, the Activity Barn offers a wet weather option should the wind, rain or snow make the outdoors less appealing.
