There's bound to be some tails wagging and tongues dangling tomorrow, as dog owners exercise their pooches at TECT All Terrain Park for Western Bay of Plenty District Council's fun-filled dog walk.

Alongside Western Bay of Plenty's spokesdog Alfie, canines can be taken on some of the park's great walking routes or left to run free in the Off-Leash Exercise Area from 10am on October 15.

The walk follows the October 14 launch of the 2016 Dog Control Policy and Bylaw Review.

WBOPDC compliance and regulatory manager Alison Curtis says this is an excellent opportunity to get local dog loving people and their four-legged pals together to socialise and exercise in the beautiful adventure park on our doorstep.

There are two walks to choose from tomorrow – one 20-minute and one 30-minute route, or keen walkers can do both.

After the walk, all will gather at the Off-Leash Dog Exercise Area, where Alfie and friends will be provided with free time and a doggy playground, while owners can enjoy a cup of coffee and a sausage.

'Even if you don't have a dog, come along with the family for a fun walk out,” says Alison.

'We are handing out doggy bags with free goodies including a fashionable poop bag, dog food, a lollypop for the kids as well as information on our new Wander Dogs Club and summer walk series.

'Make sure to check your doggy bag for the mystery prizes.”

What you will need: Good walking shoes, a bottle of drinking water – plenty of dog drinking spots are on the way – and a gold coin donation for the sausage sizzle, which goes towards council's Adopt a Dog Programme.

'If you ever wonder where to wander with your dog, the TECT All Terrain Park is a fantastic place to do so,” says Alison. 'The park is a dog-on-lead area, other than the dog exercise area, so Alfie says remember to bring your lead.”

The Western Bay Wander Dogs walk is at TECT All Terrain Park from 10am-12pm on October 15. There is plenty of parking on-site. There is no cellphone coverage at TECT Park, so be prepared to be ‘off the grid' for a while.
