This pack walk will be held at Hidden Lake Forest Preserve in Downers Grove! This walk will be a bit easier for our reactive friends, as we can gain a lot more space from triggers. It is a beautiful preserve as well!
What is a Pack Walk?
Pack walks are hour long walks where we focus on obedience, leash manners, and neutrality around stimulus like other dogs, people, bicycles, etc. We will work on confidence building, sit and stay, loose leash walking, and enrichment visiting new places! You will handle your own dog on a leash for the duration of the walk.
What should I bring?
- Your dog’s leash & harness or collar! Remember, no prong collars, shock collars, flexi leashes, or choke collars. If you need a recommendation for a harness or other pain-free walking device, ask Emily!
- Water for your puppy & a bowl
- Treats!
- Poop bags
- Sunscreen for yourself
- Dress for the weather!
Is my reactive dog welcome?
Absolutely! We have many reactive dogs attend, and Emily specializes in aggression & reactive behaviors. We will give your pup distance and help 1 on 1 if you are struggling. We ask other dogs not to stare, to avert their attention if they are staring/barking/making it more difficult for your pup. But the one true way to retrain reactive behaviors is to have positive experiences around other dogs and set the expectation of what you want your dog to do around others. So this is a great way to dip your toes in and have some practice with the reactivity piece.
Pricing?
It is $50/walk and $200 for all 5!
If you have another dog in the household, you can bring them for an additional $35 but they do have to have a separate handler! Payment is due at time of walk but you can prepay if you’d like.
Please contact Emily Mosher with any questions or to sign up!
