What is Frihund?
Frihund is a country-by-country guide to dog parks, dog runs and off-lead exercise areas. Each launched country has its own search, map and place pages.
What counts as a dog park here?
A useful listing is a place clearly intended for dogs to exercise off lead. Dog schools, boarding kennels, groomers, shops and vets are filtered out.
Can I let my dog off the lead?
Only where local rules allow it. A fenced dog run is normally intended for off-lead exercise, but the sign at the entrance always takes priority.
Why do the rules change between councils?
Dog-control bye-laws, park rules and seasonal restrictions are national or local. Check the current council sign before letting a dog off lead.
How should I behave in a busy dog park?
Watch your dog, pick up after it, keep food out of sight, close the gates and leave if your dog is scared or over-excited.
Where do the listings come from?
Listings come from OpenStreetMap and documented public datasets. Every place page shows its source, licence and retrieval date.
Why is a country marked Coming soon?
A country opens when search terms, borders, postcodes and sources are good enough for a real visit.
Does Frihund store my location?
No. Location is used in the browser only when you choose it on the map.
