Kirkkonummi Dog Forest is bustling!
In Finland, a landowner's permission is required to keep a dog at large even outside the tethering period. As many dog owners dream of walking in nature while their dogs explore freely, the appearance of dog woods in Finnish forests is a welcome phenomenon for many dog lovers. A dog forest is a private and fenced forest area that can be reserved for your own use for a fee, without other dogs or other people in the area. In a dog forest, your own dogs can roam free and in peace, as the person who has reserved the area has the landowner's permission to keep the dog loose.
Dog forests are more popular now than ever before. This has also been noticed in the Kirkkonummi Dog Forest, where visitors are plentiful. The Kirkkonummi Dog Forest is built on a strip of woodland of about one hectare, adjacent to the old Jeggars family farm, which serves its current purpose more than well. The area is a wonderful setting for dogs and the people who accompany them.
Kirkkonummi Dog Forest has been using Tolotech's booking and access control system since the beginning. Reservations are made extensively via both the ToloGo mobile app and the web application. The person responsible for the operation of Kirkkonummi Dog Forest Hanna Westman says that there are a lot of bookings, especially at weekends.
- Weekends and holidays are usually booked well in advance, while the number of bookings made during the week is influenced by weather conditions, among other things.
The automation provided by Tolotech's booking and access control system supports the needs of Kirkkonummi Dog Forest well, as the operation is maintained by two people, in addition to other agricultural tasks.
- Time is saved by automatically linking access rights to reservations.
Tolotech and Dog Forest worked closely together during the planning phase of the system implementation to ensure that the system's features were tailored as closely as possible to the needs of Dog Forest. After a little reflection, even slightly more detailed needs have been met.
- Before the place opened, we didn't even know what kind of features we wanted and needed. These needs change and evolve as we move forward. All in all, we are off to a good start with the system.
Dog Forest customers have mainly got off to a smooth start with booking. According to Westman, individual questions have arisen regarding issues such as shift rescheduling and cancellations. However, these challenges have been overcome quite easily with the help of the administration interface and Tolotech support.
