PACK WALKS

FULFILL YOUR DOG MENTALLY & PHYSICALLY

We are dog trainers that happen to offer pack walks! Our whole team is versed in our handling style. This means consistency- your trainer and walker are communicating regularly about your dogs progress. We’re working together on pulling on leash, barking when the dog walker arrives, or breaking up your dog’s day if they are stressed when alone. It’s not just a walk. This is about giving your dog their best life and supporting you while you go about your busy day.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Structured, on-leash walks help reinforce what most owners want their dogs to learn: how to stay calm on leash, around other dogs, and in city environments. This is pack walking leveled up: your trainer working alongside your walkers to support your goals. We want your dog to get exercise and also be safe. We found off-leash pack walks to be high adrenaline for many dogs, and saw a correlation between overstimulation and leash reactivity, aggression, and anxiety. On leash pack walks are a calm alternative focusing on mental clarity and structure. Bonus points for no risk of being lost. Our clients also report: hitting the town on a busy weekend or traveling, our pack dogs are calm and collected because they practice that vibe all week.

  • We get it- finding people who understand your leash reactive dog is hard. We offer pack walks and training support for reactive dogs. Many of our clients started out reactive and over time we have been able to help them find better emotional regulation. Our team is skilled with all type of leash reactivity whether your dog is fear reactive, a frustrated greeter, or under socialized.

  • Yes! For your convenience, we pickup your dog from your home and return them safe and sound each day. We want to help break-up your dogs day while you’re busy with life.

  • Want a little dopamine boost in your day? How about a pic of your pup with their pack! We send a daily photo of your pup out on the town with their pack. Take a look and visit our Instagram for more. Aside from daily photos, a focus on training, regular team discussion, and one monthly team meeting with our facility training team, we run credit for boarding and walking with us. This means, if you go on vacation and your pup boards with us, the following month’s walking subscription will be reduced.
