Leidschendam-Voorburg uses both off-leash areas and 'kwispel routes': walking routes where your dog may be off the leash. This guide explains what we do for your dog in Leidschendam and Voorburg and what it costs. It also covers where your dog can run free. We checked those rules with the municipality and with Staatsbosbeheer, which manages Vlietland and the Leidschendammerhout.

Vlietland is a recreation area with water, woods and beaches along the Vliet, between Leiden and Leidschendam. Dogs may run free there, but not on the beaches in the summer half of the year.

Where will you walk my dog in Leidschendam and Voorburg?

We agree that together at the meet-and-greet. The places above suit a dog walk well, and so does a quiet on-leash route through your own neighbourhood. The route depends on your dog and on the rules at each spot.

  • Off-leash or on a leash? Off-leash only in an off-leash area or on a kwispel route, and only with reliable recall. Otherwise we use a long line.
  • Season? At Vlietland we plan around the beaches and recreation lawns in the summer half of the year.
  • Reactive dog? Then we pick quiet times and places. Tips are in Walking an anxious or reactive dog.
