Sam&Saki Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Melbourne: Saturday 20th Feb 10am - 2pm Elwood Park, Elwood Sydney: Victoria Park, Camperdown - 13th March Brisbane: Musgrove Park, South Brisbane - 27th March According to the website it's free entry and there'll be free dog washing & grooming, free advice from trainers and behaviourists, "free caricature of you and your dog" (!), and live music, entertainment, competitions, freebie doggy stuff, and so on. Saki loves these sorts of things. Any other DOLers taking their doggies? Edited February 17, 2010 by Sam&Saki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danois Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I went last year (Sydney) and stayed about 20 mins. Huge queues for the dog baths, stalls too close together and not interesting and too many dogs who needed a few more manners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam&Saki Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Oops my mistake, sorry I thought they were all on the same day! I really don't care if we don't get a free groom or don't like the professionals, just a good opportunity for on-lead socialising IMO, Saki will love just seeing so many other dogs x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieDog Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 We went to the Melbourne one last year. I think we stayed all of 10mins. Once we got the freebies there was nothing else to do or see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
