Towpath Tails Dog Park

Towpath Tails Dog Park Welcome to Towpath Tails Dog Park. We offer two play areas - The Paddock and The Coppice. Water is provided, as is a poo bin. And sanitiser is available.
(1)

A fun, safe and peaceful 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 cou

ntryside 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 dogโ€™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 โ€“ 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 (RIP๐Ÿ’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 โ€“ 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 โ€“ 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

This week we are showcasing the shadier parts ๐ŸŒฒโ˜‚๏ธof our wonderful award winning facility at Towpath Tails Dog Park - and how the dogs love to play 'hide and hide some more' in the forest trails ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒณ, as well as just chill out in the calm under the trees. Our trails go deep through the forest area, as well as winding through the grassy areas ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฑ, and give pups a welcome break from the sunshine โ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธ (not that we are knocking this glorious sunny weather - bring it on ๐Ÿ˜€).

(quick joke from a lovely young customer "Why did the dog stay out of the sun? - So he wouldn't be a 'hot-dog' ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚)

We've also completed some maintenance ๐Ÿชšon the Paddock driveway and parking area this weekend as part of the spring tidy-up.
So if you are looking for a great space to let your dogs run lead-free, and go home exhausted from all the amazing stimulating scents - then why not book your session at Towpath Tails Dog Park https://www.towpathtails.com/book-online-1

Another fabulous weather week ๐ŸŒค ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒžand more happy dog faces ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ˜. This week we've had groups of dogs with their trusty hooman walkers๐Ÿพ, doggy training sessions and rescue dog handovers, all alongside our regular visiting and new visitor four legged pups ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ๐Ÿฉ, all enjoying the Paddock ๐Ÿชตand the Coppice ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒณ. A fun packed week all round.

If a dog's face can tell you what they are thinking - then just take a look at this bunch having fun at Towpath Tails Dog Park, and take a guess at what's going on in their fluffy heads. What a bunch of gorgeous smilers ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿถ

This week we received this great feedback from one of our regulars:
"Dear Towpathtails. Brandy and I have been coming to your wonderful facility for over one year. We try and come each week, come rain or shine. It is the highlight of Brandyโ€™s week as he is able to run free for one hour and I can enjoy being with him. I thoroughly endorse all the positive benefits for both me and my best friend. Yours sincerely, JG (ps - and you can buy lovely plants for the garden too!)

No matter what the breed or age - there is something for every dog at Towpath Tails Dog Park - spaces where dogs can run, tear, chase or saunter at their own pace. This week's heatwave has kept the paddling pools and stream busy - no sooner have we refreshed the water than another set of paws has jumped in. And our shelters have proved a welcome area of shade for hoomans. Because we have 2 fields and are open til late, there is often space available for last minute bookings - check out our details here www.towpathtails.com

Found these little lines and thought we'd share them for this lovely Easter

"With gleaming eyes, and spirit bright,
A dog appears, a wondrous sight.
Through fields of green, we race and play,
The world feels right in every way.

A wagging tail, a joyful cheer,
In every bark, the love is clear.
With frolics wild in sunlit days,
You brighten up the cloudy days."
๐Ÿฅฐ

Happy Easter Everyone

The clocks have leapt forward and our opening hours have now been extended to 8pm ๐Ÿ•— to give all our wonderful doggy customers even more time to play off-lead. We've even given the grounds a hair-cut this week ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑso we can show off all the amazing newly self-set trees in the Coppice - giving even more snifferooney opportunities.
And this week has been a fun packed week for the dogs in the Paddock as well - all taking the opportunity of a cooling dip ๐Ÿ’ฆin the stream.

We hope that all the amazing 'dog-mums' out there had a wonderful Mother's Day.

This week it's been fun times all round in Towpath Tails Dog Park and the snapshots here of the dogs having a great time in the Paddock space really show that off. To quote one customer "We just wanted to say a massive thank you for yesterday Aria & Teddy absolutely loved it!!";๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ and we loved seeing them have such a ball.

This week we are making the most of the lighter mornings ๐ŸŒžand for all you early walkers we are opening the park at 6.30am. And for those of you wanting that little later in the evening - we're able to stay open til 6.30pm this week.
Bookings can be made at https://www.towpathtails.com/book-online-1. We look forward to seeing all our wonderful customers and their pooches this coming week.

What a beautiful week of sunshine and frosty mornings to bring a sparkle to the Towpath Tails Dog Park. It finally feels like spring is in the air with the snowdrops appearing and the pussy-willows on our trees. ๐ŸŽ‹๐ŸŒพ
And great news โ€“ several of you lovely pups and hoomans visiting over the last two weeks have been unicorn ๐Ÿฆ„ hunting and have helped us find Towpazz. Our winner is little Tilly โ€“ who despite her size managed to find Towpazz hiding in the trees. ๐ŸŒฒ

This week being the start of March is traditionally the time when ground birds start to breed and nest; and both the Wildlife Trust and the Dogs Trust are issuing reminders to all dog owners that the law states you must keep your dog on a lead no longer than two metres between 1 March and 31 July when on any open access land to protect ground-nesting birds.
Never fear - here at Towpath Tails we can offer an amazing safe space for you to still allow your dogs to roam unleashed without the fear of disturbing nesting birds. Why not book your session for either The Paddock or The Coppice at https://www.towpathtails.com/book-online-1 We are open from 7am to 6pm this month.
Come and see why so many people voted us Wiltshireโ€™s best Dog Park.

Thank you to all our customers whoโ€™ve visited this week โ€“ and for this amazing review we received โ€œToday was our first visit to the coppice, we were greeted on arrival and what a friendly welcome it was! Our 9 month old cocker spaniel had the best time despite the rain! She really did enjoy having a run in and out the trees, we also found Towpazz (it did take us 45 minutes mind)๐Ÿ˜Šwe are so glad we found this site, thank you, we will be returning very soon for sure!" ๐Ÿฅฐ

Weโ€™ve had a fun half term week with lots of dogs and their hoomans coming along in the search for our missing unicorn Towpazz ๐Ÿฆ„โ€“ thereโ€™s still time to try and find Towpazz - book your session in the Coppice - https://www.towpathtails.com/book-the-coppice, have a fun visit and then send us photos of your dogs on their visit and where you have found Towpazz hiding, and you can be entered into our draw for a free 1hr session.
