We show what we know.
And what still needs work.

DogNear counts physical places separately from map positions, information-only pages, routes and policy records. That keeps public totals comparable and avoids inflated coverage claims.

Venues, fields, places, routes, rules and zones are different things.

Individual fields and routes stay nested beneath their physical venue or place. Policy records describe rules; they are never counted as extra destinations.

How to read DogNear

Four plain labels. No false certainty.

•

Mapped

The place has a usable map position. Mapping alone does not confirm its dog policy.

✓

Source checked

DogNear has checked a linked published source and shows the check date.

◆

Operator confirmed

The operator has directly confirmed the relevant public facts.

?

Dog policy not confirmed

The place may still be mapped, but owners should check the current dog policy before travelling.

Automated source watch: DogNear fingerprints linked source pages in small background batches. A meaningful change, repeated failure or missing page enters private review; it never silently rewrites a public fact.
