Ideas and inspiration
You can host your fun day in a garden, school field, village hall or any open space where families and dogs can move around safely.
Set up simple activity stations like a mini agility course, hoop-la, beanbag toss or a “best trick” ring for confident dogs. Create a craft table for children, add a refreshments stall, or hold a teddy tombola or cake raffle to boost donations.
Some organisers include dog-safe treat baking, a quiet chill-out corner, or a photo backdrop where families can take pictures with their dogs.
With music, friendly volunteers and a few finishing touches like bunting or chalkboard signs, your fun day can quickly become an annual highlight in your community.
