Structured pack walks fulfill exercise and enrichment needs for your dog while practicing essential social skills among their own kind! I lead our packs through spacious fields and trails, building trust, respect and a whole lotta love with each pack member. In our pack walks your dog will learn how to function in a pack, follow direction and experience the world as a dog. After a fun day of romping with friends, your pup will come home ready for a long nap!

Free walk & off-leash prep
Our structured pack walks begin in follow (dogs walking with me), transition to free walk time, and end in follow. During free walk, I drop the dogs’ leashes and allow them to run, play and explore. They learn to stick with the pack and return at my call for treats and praise even when given the option to do otherwise. This is a safe, fun way to train our pack members to be excellent off-leash dogs for hiking, camping, dog parks, and other activities. If you’re not comfortable with your pup participating in off-leash prep during free walk time, let me know! It’s not required, and the dogs have just as much fun with their leashes attached to me!

On-boarding process
All pack walk candidates must complete at least one private session and an evaluation period before joining a pack. Evaluations consist of at least 2 private walks, both solo and with my personal dogs, to asses temperament, likes/dislikes, and motivations. Once evaluation walks are complete, the dog is placed in a pack that fits his temperament and works with the parent's schedule.
