Pack Walk at PUPS Pet Club - Dobro
Grab your leash and join us for a Pack Walk through Fort Greene Park, corner of Dekalb Ave and Washington Park!
Pack Walks are a fun and social way for pups and their people to enjoy the energy of walking together as a group. It’s a chance for dogs to get fresh air, light exercise, and practice good walking manners — all while socializing in a supportive, friendly environment.
Trainer Evan Sievers will be walking with us, offering helpful tips for leash skills, socialization, and navigating the city with your pup like a pro.
Let’s get outside, connect with fellow dog lovers, and enjoy a little fresh-air adventure together!
RAIN-OUT DATE: May 31 - In the event of bad weather the pack walk will take place on May 3, participants will be notified on Friday May 23 if the date will be rescheduled.
PUPS PACK WALK RULES
1. Respect each other & listen to your pack leader. Disrespectful behavior will not be allowed, you will be asked to leave if you refuse to follow the rules.
2. All dogs must be licensed, fully vaccinated against rabies, & free from all communicable diseases. If your pup is sick please stay home. Especially if they have kennel cough or any other transmissible bacteria/disease.
3. Bring all essentials: high values treats,water (especially for hot weather), poop bags and your full attention. Please do not bring toys, balls or frisbee. Anything that your pup may become protective, fixated or aggressive over.
4. Dogs must be leashed at all times during walk. Please, no retractable leashes are allowed. A standard 6ft leash is ideal. This will allow you to keep your pup close and under your full control.
5. Owners must ask other owners if their dog can say hi to the other dogs. You must ask if you may touch another person’s fur baby. We have dogs with behavioral issues of all kinds. Some have no issues at all. Always ask first!
6. Owners are fully responsible for their dogs. That being said, if you are not fully comfortable or are unsure if this walk is for you & your fur baby it may be best to seek one-on-one professional advice from a certified dog behavioral specialist. We do not allow aggressive behavior towards your dog. We believe in positive reinforcement training, calm and assertive corrections only.
7. Lastly, this walk is for your fur baby. It’s about setting a day aside to do something that comes naturally to most dogs, to be a part of a pack. Please give you pup your full attention.
