THe Leader is giving three lucky readers and their pooches the chance to visit DogFest, the ultimate summer festival for dogs which stops off at Cholmondeley Castle on Saturday June 16 and Sunday June 17. Each prize, a family ticket, admits two adults and two children.

Hosted by Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick, DogFest offers dogs, their owners, and dog-lovers an action-packed, fun-filled weekend. With even more ‘have-a-go’ activities for your dog, this year’s superb line-up includes the exciting dog sport, Flyball; agility, training and obedience sessions and watery fun with dog diving.

Highlights of these exciting festivals include the Dog School arena, Dogs with Jobs area (featuring a thrilling cast of dogs who work for a living), the RSPCA Top Dog competition ring and the ever-popular Great Dog Walk. 

Twice a day, Noel will lead the way on The Great Dog Walk, which is the perfect opportunity for visitors to get some exercise with their dog, explore the wonderful surroundings and help raise some money for charity. 

There are many opportunities for visitors and their dog to join in with the action, including behaviour workshops at the Dog School, where even the most disobedient dog can become a teacher’s pet! Sessions include puppy training, how to teach your dog to perform using props and obedience displays. 

Also available to try are the Hay Bale Race and crowd favourite Temptation Alley (where dogs’ resolve is tested: snacks vs: owners’ commands), plus so much more to keep dogs entertained.  So, while the dogs enjoy an energising day out, visitors can watch displays in the main ring; get first-hand advice from experts during informative talks; treat themselves to a delicious spread of food and drink; listen to live music and pamper their pooch with some excellent shopping.

With all of this, and even more to be announced, DogFest is the ultimate weekend break to enjoy with our four-legged friends!
