Park Pals

Welcome to Park Pals, a community by you for you.

​

Join us for a trainer-led walk in your a local area with beautiful scenery, beginning in May 2026 and running throughout the summer months.  This is your chance to be a part of a community-led group. Meet with other dog lovers. Ask for advice. Train your dog safely in a real-world environment.

​

Taking a dog-centred approach, these walks are designed to socialise your pup with other dogs, humans and their environment in a controlled way. Bring some tea or coffee. Bring your family members (there will be specific groups to provide opportunities for children to learn about dog safety). This is your home. Together we can make North Down a safe and dog-friendly community for all. 

​

Cost: £3.00 per dog
