A fun, safe and peaceful award winning environment for your dog to run, sniff, play and learn to their doggy hearts delight; and for you to relax and chill out in the rural canal-side setting while they have fun. Nestled within our own Christmas tree plantation and alongside the beautiful Kennet and Avon canal in Wootton Rivers, Towpath Tails Dog Park offers all dog owners a peaceful corner of the

Wiltshire countryside where they can let their dogs off lead safely to have the fun and freedom they deserve. Whether you want to train your puppy, let your older dog have a rummage and rootle, improve your dog’s recall or you have a rescue dog where you need a safe space, away from distractions and causes of fear and anxiety to help you build mutual trust and their confidence – Towpath Tails Dog Park is the perfect place. The Paddock is about half an acre with agility equipment and definitely LARGE ENOUGH FOR RUNNING AND PLAY, but also safe and small enough to keep watch and train. While The Coppice is a larger 3 acre space with a mix of dense and loosely wooded areas. A BIG SPACE FOR RUNNING and SNIFFING, but also great for training and recall. Having been dog owners for over 35 years we know how much it means to have a safe space to let our dogs have some freedom off lead. Our doodles, Hero (RIPπŸ’ž) and Monty, love to go for long walks across the fields but they also love to tear about and play freely together in the safe space of our paddock – and so Towpath Tails Dog Park was created. SECURE - Both of the play areas within Towpath Tails Dog Park are secure spaces available for private individual hire as well as for dog training and events. Both The Paddock and The Coppice have secure 6ft deer fencing all around the field pegged to the ground, with additional rabbit fencing around the bottom and both have various forms of additional screening. Both play areas have access to the secure gated car park from which there is then a further locked secure gate into the respective play area. Both The Paddock and The Coppice then each have a further access gate fenced to 6ft high with low level rabbit fencing for double security. FACILITIES - The play areas are situated well off the village road and are accessed through a gated secure private car park. The Paddock has jumps, tubes ramps, a splash pool, and access to a natural stream. For the humans, there is a shelter with table and chairs and a clear view down the field. The Coppice is a mix of densely packed and more openly spaced mainly mature Christmas trees for a sniffers heaven. There are a couple of shelters with benches and seats, water, a small paddling pool and a poo bin. We visit both areas regularly to check the grounds, facilities and fencing, to top up the water, and to ensure that everything runs smoothly for when you arrive. BOOKINGS – please see our online booking facility on our website - https://www.towpathtails.com/ to book your visit for either The Paddock or The Coppice.

It seems to be a case of 'bums the word' at Towpath Tails Dog Park this week - our wonderful hooman customers are struggling to see their pups faces as they are way too busy running off and exploring the great adventure areas available. A few determined hoomans have managed to bribe their pups back to a front facing shot with what we can only assume are food induced incentives πŸ₯©πŸ₯“.
It's the last week of hunting Towpazz our cheeky unicorn πŸ¦„this week in the Coppice 🌲🌲🌲and so if you want to try and win a free session at the park, book a session in the Coppice https://www.towpathtails.com/book-the-coppice and see if you can find Towpazz πŸ¦„- just send us your shots of your pups in the park to be in with a chance. Or if you are looking for that splashing cool down for your pups - book your session in the Paddock https://www.towpathtails.com/book-the-paddock

Allegedly we're expecting rain β˜”οΈ- but its still pretty hot πŸ₯΅and muggy out there. But that's not stopping our intrepid Towpazz πŸ¦„hunters. Another lucky winner found Towpazz last week and has won a free Coppice session. Watch the video to see the amazing Matrix bouncing around with excitement at finding our sneaky little unicorn πŸ¦„ friend.
The Paddock has also been popular this week with the stream offering some great splash fun.
For those visiting us this week - if you usually use the A346 between Marlborough and Burbage, please be aware that the road is closed just north of Burbage between 9am and 7pm Mon-Fri. If you come to us via Marlborough you are still able to get along the A346 to the Wootton Rivers turning πŸ‘but if you come up the A346 from the Burbage roundabout - instead please take the Pewsey Road from the Burbage roundabout and come into Wootton Rivers from the Easton Royal turning. πŸ‘πŸ‘

Folks have had fun these past 2 weeks trying to find the elusive Towpazz πŸ¦„ hiding away and we have already had 2 winners of a free session. Well done guys.

We've also had a fabulous review by a customer on FB saying amongst other things - 'The Coppice, which is an old Christmas tree plantation, goes from being an open field to a fabulously wild, untamed grotto packed full of little paths and dens. It’s ideal for dogs of any age or ability, very secure, providing plenty to explore. Great for nose work, recall fun or just chilling out together."
- and another on Google who said - "We are travelling the K&A on our boat and found this little gem next to our mooring. Booked my boy in to The Paddock for an hour and he had a blast! Really great facility, loads of agility equipment if your dog likes that sort of thing, a little bit of spring that they can paddle in and seats for owners to relax whilst doggies enjoy themselves. A lovely way to spend an hour. Oh and the owner is very helpful and friendly."

We are so grateful for such great reviews - thank you.

And going forward - the heat goes on...... πŸŒžβ˜€οΈβ˜€οΈβ˜€οΈπŸŒž.... we're expecting another set of scorching temperatures this week and so we're keeping the paddling pools πŸ’¦topped up and the stream running - and as ever the shade from the trees πŸŒ²πŸŒ²πŸŒ²πŸŒ³πŸŒ΄πŸŒ±πŸŽ‹πŸŒΏ is a welcome relief for both two and four legged friends and visitors.
Towpazz πŸ¦„ continues to find new hidey places and so our search and your chance to win a free session continues. Book sessions in the Coppice https://www.towpathtails.com/book-the-coppice if you want the cool of the trees and the chance to seek out Towpazz. Send us the pics of your dogs and where you found Towpazz and we'll enter you in to the draw. You can enter for every visit. There is a draw each week.
or book the Paddock https://www.towpathtails.com/book-the-paddock if you are looking for agility and the cooling stream.
Stay cool out there folks....

And so the summer holidays period is upon us πŸ˜ŽπŸ§³πŸŒ€οΈβ›±οΈ - wishing all school staff out there a well earned break. πŸ˜„

But wait.... what is this we've spotted πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ- Topazz the unicorn πŸ¦„has trotted in for its holiday and has been spotted hiding in the trees again🌲🌲🌴πŸͺΎπŸŒ²πŸŒ². We've had a go at catching them this morning - but to no avail, and so we're sending the hounds in πŸ•πŸ©πŸ•β€πŸ¦Ί to track them down.
So when you visit us between July 25th and August 31st keep an eye out in The Coppice for Towpazz πŸ¦„- and if you spot them - send us a photo of your dogs in the park and a picture of where Towpazz is hiding to [email protected] and we will enter you in to a draw for each visit you have found them on, with a chance to WIN a FREE session in the Coppice. Draws will be weekly - and you can have an entry for each visit and sighting photo. So come along and book your session at www.towpathtails.com

Agility's the name of the game here at Towpath Tails Dog Park - lots of pooches chilling and just keeping cool in the shade, while others are coming early mornings and late evenings to get their fun bit of agility in. For those of you looking for a range of agility equipment to try - why not book a slot at Towpath Tails Dog Park Paddock or Coppice. But do be mindful of the heat we are still getting - don't get your pups running about too much in the midday sun 🌞. But we do have loads of shade from the Xmas trees 🌲🌲🌲
