Two Wander Walks for Western Bay of Plenty pooches – and their owners – remain, with one event coming up next Saturday, February 11, at Waihī Beach.

The walks are part of the 2022-2023 series being run by Western Bay of Plenty Council, which are all about giving WBOP dog owners some events just for them – where they can bring their dogs to socialise safely and have a good time exploring the district's beautiful walks at the same time.

Waihī Beach's Wander Walk is at Anzac Bay, Seaforth Rd, from 9am on February 11. From 9am-9.30am there's an education talk on ‘teaching your dog to ‘stay', with the walk starting 10am.

On Saturday, February 25, the council is hosting a Doggy Day Out at Ōmokoroa Sportsground Western Avenue.

For this, owners can dress their pooch up in their best superhero costume for a pawtastic day of fun – for every dog and their humans!

The last Wander walk of the series is at Te Puke.
