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. If you have any problems with booking - please contact David on 07891 761705 . Each play area

The sun is shining 🌞🌞, the birds πŸ¦β€β¬›πŸ¦‰πŸ¦…are nesting πŸͺΊand the dogs πŸΆπŸ•β€πŸ¦ΊπŸ©πŸ•are playing here at Towpath Tails Dog Park. We've had a busy Easter weekend and the 2nd half of the holiday period is looking quite busy as well. But there are still some slots available in both the Paddock - for all you agility and water fans, and in the Coppice for all the tree loving scent snoopers.

Plus of course we still have our cheeky Easter Bunny 🐰🐰🐰hiding away in the trees🌲🌲🌳🌴🌲 in the Coppice until this Saturday.
***** If you spot the bunny and send us your photos we will enter you into the draw to win a free 1he session in the Coppice. *****

Some of our intrepid bunny hunters have been out this past week seeking the cheeky fella out. Who knew how competitive some of our doggy customers were πŸ˜„πŸ˜„ But be aware - the Easter bunny has eaten a lot of easter eggs over the week and so has outgrown his little outfit and is a little cuddlier than he was.πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ°πŸ°
