Spring is a great season for networking while walking your dog. The cooler weather and beautiful foliage make for a pleasant stroll, and dogs provide a natural icebreaker when meeting new people. So, why not take advantage of the season and combine these activities for a productive and enjoyable spring?
We are delighted to be joined by Aileen Hodgson -director and trainer at K9-Kind Limited-who will be on hand to answer questions about your 4 legged friends.
Meeting Point: In front of the Blackwatch Museum
An easy walk around the North Inch on the circular 2.4km circuit (which is about 3,000 steps). Find a pace that suits you and chat away.
