- Step One: Choosing the right venue
If you’re lucky enough to have a garden big enough for all your furry friends to run around, there are a few things to consider. You’ll want to make sure the perimeter is escape-proof, remove any tools and equipment, and make sure there’s access to plenty of water and shade.
If not, then dog friendly parks, beaches and cafes can also make for great alternatives, and there’s plenty of them dotted around the UK. Consider how many guests you’ll be inviting, both human and animal, and make sure the space is big and secure enough to accommodate. Find a secure dog park near you, here.
