Scent Trail for Dogs gets Hounds Hiking at Bill Yeck Park
CENTERVILLE, OH: Just 20 minutes of exploring novel scents has the same enrichment benefits as an hour-long walk for dogs! Get their noses going on a scent hike! Join the Centerville-Washington Park District on Sunday, October 18 at the Bill Yeck Park Smith House from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. for a self-guided hike along the park’s nature trails. Special sniff-stops will be set up along the way. Your dog will explore brand-new scents, and you get a beautiful fall hike with your best friend. Afterwards, treat your pup to a free fall-themed pup-cup!
Participants are welcome to come anytime during the program. The final time to start the hike is 5:30 p.m. All dogs must remain on a leash and leashes cannot extend longer than 8 feet. Please clean up after your dog. Respect the space of other dogs until the owner confirms your dog can say hi!
Registration is not required; however, registered participants will receive updates on weather cancellations. Register online at cwpd.org or call (937) 433 – 5155.
