Come one, come all
Join us on our next Community group Pack walk!
Next Pack walk date: MAY 6TH, 930AM
Location: HUDSON SPRINGS PARK
Before you sign up, let's review a few important rules:
​
It’s important to attend the pack walk knowing the expectations. To enjoy the walk and set our dogs up for success, we need everyone to know and follow the rules. Because safety is a primary objective of the Pack Walks, weather plays a factor. We will post in our Facebook Group if a Pack Walk is canceled due to weather. We also require all Community Pack Walk participants to complete our waiver prior to attending the Pack Walk (see sign up form below).
​Non Negotiables:
​
-
No face-to-face introductions ever. No sniffing. We promise that just being near each other will be good enough. Dogs should have minimal interaction with each other, because they should be focused on their handlers.
-
One dog per handler.
-
Family members are welcome to join the walks, but only one person is allowed to handle the dog for the duration of the walk.
-
Only adults (18+) are allowed to handle the dogs on our pack walks.
-
No retractable leashes!! - maximum length 6 foot leash only.
-
Respect everyone's space.
-
You’ll receive a 5 minute warning before any water break so you can spread out again in your 6’ bubble while we stop to have a drink. Even dogs who were walking side-by-side are still not allowed to greet each other during the water break.
When you arrive:
​
-
Pack Walks will start at 9:35 am - please ensure you and your dog are outside and ready to walk at 9:30 am. (to respect everyone's time, we are unable to accommodate late additions or drop-ins that arrive outside of our check-in time)
-
Remain outside in a dedicated space with your dog ensuring you do not allow face to face interactions with other dogs waiting to walk.
-
Some dogs will become very anxious or excited while waiting, but once the pack gets walking things will calm down.
-
When the pack walk starts, your Pack Leader will guide you on your walk, please maintain a single line.
Be prepared:
​
-
A small backpack.
-
Water bottle or water dish for any scheduled water breaks.
-
Poop bags.
-
Proper harness or collar, and leash (no longer than 6 feet)
-
High value treats (freeze dried treats, cheese, jerky, etc.)
-
Make sure your dog is healthy and able to be around other dogs.
-
Your camera or phone! We definitely approve of you promoting the experience and bragging about our Community Pack Walks on your social media.
