Doggie Day is Back!

Doggie Day is Back!

We are pleased to announce that our hugely successful Doggie Day is coming back for a second year! The event will take place at the centre on Saturday 7 September between 12pm – 4.30pm and will be even more special this year.


Famous Dog Shows

The centre has arranged stunt dog shows featuring famous dogs from TV and film for the public to watch. Approximately 8 dogs from iconic films like Wonder Woman and Men in Black and well-known TV shows such as Doc Martin, Midsomer Murders and The Witcher will perform 3 x 20-minute shows during the day. The trainers of these famous dogs will be at the event and available to discuss how they prepare their dogs for these ‘acting’ roles. Visitors will also be able to get a photo with these doggy stars throughout the day.


Competitions

The centre wants to find the dog with the:

  • Waggiest tale
  • Best paw shaker
  • Best coat
  • Most handsome
  • Best trick
  • Well behaved
  • Looks like owner
  • Most obedient
  • Judges favourite
  • Cutest.

 

The centre’s undercover judges will be roaming the centre during the event to identify dogs they think are deserving of awards – those that stand out will be handed a rosette. Dogs (and their owners) lucky enough to receive a rosette will then be invited to the podium at 2.50pm on the day to collect their £50 cash prize and to do a photoshoot. The centre is also arranging for free goodie doggie bags to be given out on the day for all participating dogs.

 

Dogs are encouraged to attend the event in their very best outfit. Best dressed dogs can then enter the centre’s fashion show competition at 1.45pm with best dressed pooches able to win an incredible cash prize – the winner will receive a £100 cash prize, second place will get a £50 cash prize and third place will get a £30 prize.

 

The centre has also arranged for artists to be at the event all day to capture visitors’ dogs in their best light – drawings can then be taken home and enjoyed forever.


Dog Trainers

Multiple professional dog trainers will be roaming the Brunswick throughout the event to offer helpful tips and advice for dog owners. There will also be incredible demonstrations from a trainer at the podium for all to see. Once again, we will have a professional photographer at the event to capture a professional shot of your dog that you can then purchase.


Pop-up Shops and Brands

The Brunswick has arranged for several pop-up shops at the centre to be selling doggie essentials including treats, food, collars, leads and more. There will even be doggie-themed tacos from Taco Bros for sale on the day! Starbucks will be serving free puppuccinos for visiting pups, Pelican State will be giving out free appetisers if customers eat in with their dog, The Common Room will be offering out free goody bags and SKOOB books will have dog related displays.

 

Plus, there will also be several incredible selfie opportunities in the centre for visitors to enjoy. If visitors upload an image of their pooch on the centre’s branded benches they could win a £100 cash prize!

 

If visiting dogs need a bit of a pamper, the centre has also arranged a pamper station where dogs can get a groom, nail clipping or massage. Tasty doggie treats will be given out around the centre. Plus, there will be hydration stations which we’re sure will be packed!

 

The event is free to attend, and any charitable donations raised on the day will be given to Guide Dogs UK.
