At Dinefwr Park, beside Llandeilo, the National Trust asks for dogs to be on a lead at all times in the parkland, because livestock graze there. Only assistance dogs may enter the Deer Park or use the boardwalk. It’s a good place to practise being relaxed on a lead among lots of interesting smells.
Carmarthenshire is a little better covered than some Welsh counties, with a local dog trainers directory and a swimming guide. Vets, sitters, groomers and rescue have no local pages yet, so those lines go to UK-wide guides.

Walking at Dinefwr
The National Trust says dogs can come into the outdoor park and the café, and should be back at heel promptly when called. If cattle approach, its Canine Code advises letting your dog off the lead so it can move away safely, then calling it back once things are calm. Carry a lead, pick up after your dog, and check the National Trust page for Dinefwr before you go, as rules and access can change.
Everyday extras
