Join us for structured, dog-friendly community walks at some of our favorite local locations.
Please bring water, treats, poop bags, and comfortable walking gear. Dogs must remain leashed, and we’ll maintain plenty of space between dogs.
This is not a doggy playgroup—it’s an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while practicing calm walking, engagement, and real-life training skills!
