I live in Çatalköy and would love to go social dog walking with other owners maybe once or twice a week? I know that the old air strip is safe from poison so that maybe a good place? My 9 month old is really keen to meet other dogs but it is almost impossible when "pounding the streets" I work 6 mornings a week so it would have to be afternoons or early evening. If any one else wants to socialise their dog and get some good excercise, please call me at Botanica 8.30 - 1.00 0392 824 5467 thanks!!

There have been poisonings by the airstrip in the past, are you sure it's now safe?

We stopped walking our dogs down there a while ago for that reason.

why not muzzle your dogs on walks if there is fear of poison?

We do muzzle one but the other two have no difficulty removing theirs.

i am sure they wouldn't be able to remove it if the muzzle was correct size. (and quality)

A dog was poisoned last week at the old airstrip, I also am in Catalkoy and would like somewhere safe to walk the dogs. I muzzle them but some poisons work by inhalation

You live more closer to the hills than the airstrip.....why not take them up there?

Thanks for the warning guys - another place to avoid then? I will end up excercising her on the roof at this rate!!
