Advanced Group Walk

Rain or shine come walk your dog around other owners and their dogs. Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment to help you practice your dogs manners around other dogs and people.

This will be a walk through an area in Saanich. The walk will be through off leash areas so please keep this in mind with your dog's temperament and skill level. Each handler is responsible for “managing” their own dog, although there will be a Professional Trainer present to coach and give pointers.

PLEASE NOTE: Owners and their dogs are participating at their own risk. All dogs must be managed at all times on OR off leash.

EQUIPMENT? Owners must have a leash handy and the dog must be wearing a collar with a current CRD licence 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 space between other dogs and handler teams is important. On sidewalks and tight trails dogs need to be “up short”. Handlers need to wear comfortable foot wear and weather appropriate clothing.

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 as our purpose is to help them learn new ways of coping and alternate behaviors.
