Why Join This Dog-Friendly Hike & Yoga Event at You Yangs

Wiggle & Mingle is about reconnecting with nature, getting your body moving, and letting your dog enjoy a proper adventure. The 30-minute outdoor yoga session is light, beginner-friendly, and built to get you feeling good (no downward dog expertise required).

The walk itself is a scenic 4.3km loop through the You Yangs. Think shaded trails, wide-open spaces, and loads of snifftastic spots for the dogs. Walking time is around two hours, but the event runs longer to allow for chats, rests, and a few good pats along the way.

You'll also score a free welcome pack and exclusive discounts on Wet Dog Co’s sustainable gear — perfect for anyone passionate about eco-friendly adventures with their pup.

Plus, you’ll be part of something special: celebrating three years of Wet Dog and Co helping Aussie dogs and their humans get outside and explore.

If you're looking for a free dog adventure event near Melbourne, this is your sign to lace up the runners, leash up the dog, and get amongst it.
