- dog training
- guided dog walks

At the wonderful Doe Park Camping Site in the beautiful Teesdale in the Durham Dales, County Durham. Surrounded by glorious scenery, it’s the perfect setting for all the activities we have planned.
Itinerary
Friday:
Evening – Arrive, set up and enjoy a meet and greet for all.
Saturday:
Morning – A social dog walk within the stunning Teesdale area
Afternoon – How to Photograph Your Dog workshop with Paul and Kathryn. How to take the best photos of your pooch, plus training them how to sit and pose.
Evening – A social BBQ with food provided.
Sunday: Introduction to Mantrailing with Kathryn. Mantrailing is a super fun activity to do with your dog using their natural ability to follow a scent. See your dog doing new things and create an extra special bond by working together.
Plus there plenty of opportunities throughout the weekend to ask any questions you may have regarding your dog.
Prices:
Prices are all inclusive, covering your camping pitch, food for the BBQ evening, and all activities and workshops.
We have a limited number of electric hookup pitches which are best for caravans and motorhomes rather than the tents.
Please note there is a maximum of 2 dogs per pitch.
Whole Package with electric hookup – £280
Whole Package with standard pitch – £250
Notes:
Dogs will need to be on a lead when on the campsite.
Due to the number of dogs and people we request that you have third party insurance for your pets.
Special Note Regarding Reactive Dogs: Please note that there will be a lot of dogs and people at this retreat. If your dog would misbehave or bark a lot in this situation then it may not be ideal for them. We are looking to do a different kind of retreat in the future to assist with poorly behaved dogs.
