From Barkitecture, the luxury kennel design competition, to Field & Trail, where you will find the world’s best sheepdog and gundog trials, plus the fast paced contest of CaniCross - come along and take in the excitement as the competitions unfold.
The best place to teach your dog new tricks, Have-a-go offers exciting activities, such as hoopers and hurdles, with the help of experts in each discipline along the way.
All activities are free of charge and there is no need to pre-book.
Goodwoof welcomes a host of dog experts within The Wellness Centre presented by MARS Petcare where vets, nutritionists and behaviourists will be on hand to help you learn more about your dog and gain a deeper understanding of their wellbeing.
From enjoying a glass of champagne in the Taittinger Bar, indulging in a luxurious Fortnum & Mason picnic hamper, listening to authors and celebrities read in Literary Corner or watching style on show in Chien Charmant - Goodwoof is a dog event like no other.
The Kennels is the perfect setting for Goodwoof. Originally built to be ‘the most luxurious dog house in the world’, The Kennels is now Goodwood’s private members’ clubhouse.
