Hopetown Darlington is working together with Great Paws to present Rails and Tails, a free outdoor fun day where people are invited to bring their four-legged friends to learn more about dog training and explore the site.
Complete with trader stalls, have-a-go areas, dog photography spots, and 7.5 acres of outdoor space, this is set to be the perfect doggy-training event where you can learn new training tips, have a bit of friendly competition, and make new friends.
Great Paws is a local company that offer award winning specialist dog training in Darlington. They offer a variety of schools that cover dog-to-dog reactions, life skill coaching, and scent detection, as well as more specialist classes for puppies and reactive support. Hopetown Darlington is proud to be working with Great Paws for Rails and Tails, which promises to be both a fun and informative day.
Rails and Tails takes place in the outdoor areas of Hopetown Darlington as well as the Clocktower Café. This is an event for dogs comfortable around other dogs and people, and leads are to be used around the site. Dogs must be comfortable with loud noises, children, distractions, and food.
Rails and Tails is at Hopetown Darlington on Saturday 10 May. Entry is free but booking is required, and there are a limited number of tickets available.
Greg, owner of Great Paws, said: “We’re really excited to be working with Hopetown Darlington on Rails and Tails. It’s a fantastic opportunity to spread the message about responsible dog ownership, as well as a great chance to meet new people.”
Mike Crawshaw, Head of Culture & Heritage at Darlington Borough Council said: “Hopetown Darlington is set to have a calendar full of brilliant events throughout the year, and Rails and Tails is no exception. Alongside the Bicentenary celebrations, Vintage Vehicle Rally, and weekend family events, there’s something for everyone at Darlington’s award-winning visitor attraction.”
