Why it’s great for kids

The festival isn’t just for dogs; it features a dedicated Kids Zone where children can learn through interactions:

• ‘Speaking Dog’: Children can learn about canine behaviour and body language like how to tell if a dog is happy, tired, or needs a bit of space.
• Storytime and Crafts: There will be dog-themed stories and art stations (carrying on the fun from their colouring pages).
• Responsible Pet Ownership: It’s a brilliant way for children to learn that looking after a dog involves kindness, patience, and regular health checks.
