Group Walk

Service Description

SOCIALIZATION This is not a training class as our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment to help you "practice" your leash manners & engagement with the training you have acquired for us or another trainer. GOOD FOR? - Intermediate Level Training - Practicing Leash Manners - Practicing Engagement - Practicing Neutrality Around Distractions WHAT? Rain or shine come walk your dog around other owners and their dogs in a controlled on leash only environment. This will be a single file walk through the local area. If we find a suitable and available open space we will do some “pass by work”. Each handler is responsible for “managing” their own dog, although there will be Certified Trainer's present to coach and give pointers. WHERE? Location Varies - Please check the specific date for class location. The Walk is either on the Juan de Fuca trail near the Q Center or around Royal Bay community near Meadow Park Green WHEN? Check our booking calendar for upcoming sessions! EQUIPMENT? Dogs must be on a four to six foot leash and wearing a collar and a current ID tag (training collars, harnesses and muzzles are acceptable if handler and dog have been trained on proper and appropriate use). TREATS? You can bring treats for your dog, however be mindful of how and when you use them, not in proximity to other dogs. Bring some water for you and your dog. SAFETY? The goal is to keep every person and dog safe, so maintaining a minimum of 15ft between dog and handler teams is crucial, unless otherwise instructed. On sidewalks and roads dogs need to be “up short but slack on the leash”. Handlers need to wear comfortable foot wear and weather appropriate clothing. PLEASE NOTE: Owners and their dogs are participating at their own risk. RESPECT We are all in this together, as a group we are here to encourage and support each other and all of the dogs. No one should feel embarrassed if their dog acts out our purpose is to help them learn new ways of coping and alternate behaviors.
