Tails are wagging in Picton

It’s a great time to be a dog in Picton.

Council has recently installed a new bin and bag dispenser (pictured) along the Picton to Waikawa track, below Victoria Domain, much to the delight of dog owners - and their dogs.

There is also a great doggy day out coming up courtesy of the Picton Veterinary Clinic. The 2025 Traffic Light Bandana Dog Walk and Games Day is back for its fourth year on 29 March at Memorial Park in Picton.

Picton Veterinary Clinic Co-Owner Dr Christine Mackenzie said the unique event promotes safe and respectful dog interactions with colourful traffic light bandanas for dogs and t-shirts (for owners) helping communicate how our furry friends are feeling.

“The bandanas are a clever way for dog owners to be an advocate for their dog and protect their well-being. They express the dogs’ feelings toward other dogs or people – they wear green for friendly, yellow for disability like deaf or blind, orange when caution is required and red when they may be nervous or not like certain other dogs or people,” she said.

“The bandana day includes lots of fun family games like egg and spoon and includes awards for the smallest and tallest dog, best dressed dog and handler and the waggiest tail.”
