Cosheston Dog Services

A working dog training facility just outside Pembroke, Cosheston Dog Services is the sort of place that appeals mainly to serious dog owners rather than casual visitors. If you've got a spaniel that needs proper schooling or you're genuinely interested in how working dogs are trained, it's worth a look. The site itself isn't a tourist attraction in the traditional sense - there's no gift shop, no café, no manicured grounds. What you get is the real thing: trainers at work with dogs, kennels, and if you're lucky, a demonstration of how the training actually works.

This is a proper working operation, and that's both its charm and its limitation. You can't just roll up expecting a visitor experience. Ring ahead or check what's on before you make the drive from Pembroke - it's only a few miles, but you want to time it right. Families with young kids looking for an hour's entertainment will leave disappointed. Dog enthusiasts, though, or anyone with a working dog needing training, will find it genuinely useful.

If you're camped at Windmill Hill Caravan Park or Grass Roots (both within a few miles), and you're the type who'd rather spend time with working animals than tourist attractions, then yes, include it. Otherwise, Pembroke itself and the wider Pembrokeshire coast will serve you better. The area has proper attractions worth your time - Cosheston Dog Services is for a specific crowd.
