Tues 27th Jan

Maribyrnong River Walk

This walk follows wide riverside paths with beautiful water views and plenty of room for comfortable on lead movement. Dogs enjoy long, uninterrupted stretches ideal for maintaining a steady pace.

Altona Dog Beach

A popular third visit for January because the conditions, space, and safety make it a standout. The huge shallow flats allow even less confident swimmers to enjoy the water, while social dogs have plenty of opportunities to mingle. It is consistently one of the happiest places for off leash play. Ideal for energetic dogs with good recall.

Williamstown Botanic Gardens

These beautiful heritage gardens offer peaceful shaded paths and lush plant life, creating a gentle sensory walk for dogs who enjoy calmer outings. The structured pathways make it an easy on lead adventure while still providing new smells and sights. It is visually stunning and a wonderful change of pace compared to beach and bush days. Suits polite walkers, seniors, and dogs who prefer quiet environments.

The Warmies

This outing is ideal for dogs who benefit from decompression rather than high-output exercise.

Altona Dog Beach

Back to Altona we go - one of our most popular Adventure spots. The huge off leash shoreline and shallow water create the perfect playground for dogs who love to move, swim, and explore freely. There’s space for zoomies, space for sniffing, and space to cool off properly. Ideal for energetic water dogs with solid recall.

Tues 17th Feb

The Warmies

The Warmies is ideal for dogs who enjoy slow wandering, shoreline sniffing, and choosing their own pace rather than high-energy beach play. The curved inlet creates a contained space where dogs can move between sand and water naturally, checking in with staff as they go. It’s a great option for dogs who enjoy freedom without chaos. Best suited to social dogs who like off leash exploration in a softer, more contained environment.

Best suited to confident off leash dogs who enjoy open terrain and sniffing.
