All about dog friendly Canberra by locals in the know

curtin15meetupgroup

Canberra Dog Walks aims to provide dogs and their humans with a wide variety of interesting, fun walks and places to visit in and around Canberra.

We were inspired to create this website after taking our friends on our favourite dog walking routes. We are long time Canberra locals who have explored most of Canberra to find great dog friendly walks that are interesting for humans too. Our friends loved our walks so much we thought, why not share our best dog walking routes with everyone?

You can now choose from over 30 self-guided walks to try on your own, or join one of our weekly guided social group walks offered all over Canberra.

We've also shared our local knowledge in a Dog Blog with advice on all things 'dog friendly' in Canberra, such as the best dog friendly cafes, the best off leash parks, the best dog friendly wineries, and much more. All our information is updated regularly.

We hope our walks inspire you to explore new areas of Canberra, even if you don't have a dog.

All information on our site is free and intended to help you access the best of dog friendly Canberra.

Use our contact form to make an enquiry or provide any comments. We'd love to hear from you!

Feedback on our website, advice and walks

Did the Kambah walk today ... and the instructions were fantastic. Spot on, clear and concise, and well written with a good number of tidbits. The loop was very lovely and worth the trip from Sydney 🙂

Just spent the weekend in Canberra. Found your website, it is brilliant. We visited a couple of the cafés and did the Yarralumla walk. Just wanted to say thanks for a great website. Every city should have one just like it.

We traveled from Queensland to Canberra with our Labrador. And best of all I found your website, it was our go-to site. We followed several of your walks, our favourite was Yarralumla. We got to see places on our holiday that we may have not have otherwise gone. Furthermore, we are coffee lovers, so we tried out several of your dog friendly coffee shops and we weren't disappointed. Thank you for creating your most helpful website.

I came across your site this morning and went on the short Curtin playing fields walk. I found your directions easy to follow and the addition of the google map was really helpful. It's great having a resource like this. I've found that while I have some great walks just outside my door it can get a bit boring doing them over and over again. Great to find something close by where we can make a bit more of a day of it with the doggie friendly cafés.

Thank you so much for providing this wonderful site. I am a Curtin dog walker and have long enjoyed the ridge, horse paddock, dam etc. Other Canberra walk books have remarkably few leash free areas. You have definitely filled the gap. Bless you.

I wanted to thank you for a truly excellent website. It’s a fantastic resource - the maps and directions make it so clear. Molly and I are exploring places that neither of us have seen before.
