SUNDAY 15 DECEMBER
Love your pet…Just Walk Me!
Start your Sunday in Robina with a morning walk and tea in the park with the family and dog. Regular exercise and socialisation is important for good health and wellbeing in dogs (and humans!), and promotes fitness, alleviates boredom and stimulates a dog’s senses. Regular exercise can reduce unwanted behaviour such as destructive digging and chewing, excessive barking and aggression. Gold Coast City Council’s Animal Management team and industry experts will be on hand to provide tips, advice and giveaways.
Bring along your dog and the family for a fun, free morning in the park. For more information visit http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/community/just-walk-me-18848.html or contact Kim Croker on kcroker@goldcoast.qld.gov.au or call 5581 7631.
