The Studio
An oasis of calm amidst the excitement and bustle at Goodwoof is The Studio. Here owners and their dogs can really relax as they enjoy free sessions in dog yoga (DOGA), sound bathing, reiki and the absolute bliss of dog massage. Sessions, which are included in the price of your admission ticket, run all day throughout the weekend. They are extremely popular so it’s advisable to head to The Studio as soon as you arrive at Goodwoof and book yourselves on to the classes which interest you. Previous experts include Mahny Djahanguiri, the UK and Europe’s leading founder and author of DOGA - Yoga for you and your Dog.
Canicross UK
Canicross UK primarily provide Canicross training across the country. They offer a variety of training classes ranging from absolute beginners, right up to race training and coaching. So what is Canicross? In short it is trail running with your dog (or dogs), where the runner wears a special running belt, attached to a bungee line to their dog, who wears a specifically designed pulling harness. It is a team sport where runner and dog work together. Any runner, or hiker can take part, and most dog breeds can participate too! We actively encourage new beginners to try this fun and inclusive sport!
Agility
Highdown Agility Club has been established for around 25 years. The current owner, Millie Wilder, has owned the club for four years now and in that time it has grown and celebrated many successes. This includes partnerships Neil & Lillie qualifying to compete for Team GB at the Belgian Shepherd World Championships in April 2024. Many members of the club are competing at Kennel Club shows and winning up the grades, as well as having a kind and supportive community to be a part of weekly at training.

Sheepdog Trials
Visitors can watch the mesmerising work of top-level field and trail working dogs throughout the weekend. These sheep and gundogs are at the very pinnacle of their competitive working lives and are incredible to watch in action. This area will provide plenty of seating to watch the competitions unfold and many places to eat and drink nearby.

To this day, dogs can stay at the Hotel, accompany their owners in the restaurants, and even join our Members’ clubhouse, The Kennels. We thought that it was only fitting to dedicate an entire event to them, just as we do with cars and horses at our other flagship meetings.
