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

Our weird and wonderful weather mix โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฌ๐ŸŒง has continued this week - with both heatwave and windy conditions. But nothing stops our intrepid pooches from having their Towpath Tails Dog Park fun time. Visitors this week have come from far and wide to drop in for a journey break enroute to holidays, or a family mid-point meet up, as well as our gorgeous regular four legged friends. To quote one customer 'Towpath Tails is Noelโ€™s happy place!'

We've also been doing some maintenance this week - grass cutting, edge w**ding and a bit of impromptu tree felling. Those of you visiting The Paddock this week may have noticed a new view point appear towards the canal as a poorly tree on the towpath๐ŸŒณneeded to come down.

Next week is shaping up to be another hotty โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒคโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒค- and so don't forget that we are open from 6am until 9pm for those cooler early morning and evening sessions and have lots of shadey areas and water to keep the pups and hoomans cooler.
Bookings available at https://www.towpathtails.com/book-online-1

Welllll, that last week was a bit of a scorcher. ๐ŸŒžโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒžโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒžโ˜€๏ธ. Not complaining as its great to see some lovely summer days. And all our wonderful hoomans and their pups worked around the hot hours in the middle of the day, making the most of our early morning and late evening opening times (6am to 9pm).
We're so lucky here at Towpath Tails Dog Park to have some amazing shady areas ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒณโ›ฑ, as well as a gorgeous natural stream alongside the paddling pools ๐Ÿ’ฆ, that the dogs have absolutely made the most of this week.

My oh my, where on earth did that half term week go? Great that the weather warmed up again part way through the week giving everyone a glimpse of our lovely sunny skies, while having a nice gentle stroll or ball/stick game with their four legged friends at Towpath Tails Dog Park. We carried on with some spring maintenance - grass cutting, w**d control and fencing in between our customer visits, and have been pleased to welcome lots of new and returning customers both from locally and folks on their hollibobs.

Check out this 5* โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ review we received the other week. "Perfect environment for any dog, especially a rescue who needs space to explore in a safe, secure environment. Would fully recommend Towpath Tails to anyone who likes to give their dog freedom."

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
