🐾 Pack Walk – Old Sacramento

Join us for an evening pack walk through Old Sacramento on March 28 from 4:30–6:00 PM.

These walks are a great opportunity to work on calm behavior and neutrality around other dogs, people, and busy environments. We’ll meet in front of the California State Railroad Museum and walk through Old Sacramento, along the waterfront, toward DOCO, and back.

This event is open to current clients, past clients, and the public.

A few reminders:
• Dogs must remain on leash
• No dog-to-dog greetings
• Bring water, p**p bags, and training treats

Registration is required to attend.

🚶🐾 All of my Pack Walks for the rest of the year are now live on the website!

Pack Walks are a great way to practice training skills in real-world settings, build neutrality around other dogs and people, and enjoy the community of fellow dog owners.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone out on the walks and watching your dogs continue to grow and succeed!

🍻 Pack Walk & Brewery Training – Tonight in Folsom!

Join us tonight at 7PM for a special Pack Walk designed to help dogs and their humans practice calm behavior in real-world settings—specifically at a brewery.

We’ll meet at Granite Mini Park in Folsom, take a short walk together, and then head to Red Bus Brewing to work on settling, ignoring distractions, and making good choices in a busy public environment.

This is a training opportunity, not a social event for the dogs—so please note:
✅ No dog-on-dog or human-on-dog interactions
✅ Focus on neutrality, calmness, and engagement
✅ All dogs remain leashed and under handler control

📍 Meet at: Granite Mini Park
🕖 Time: 7:00PM
🍺 Training destination: Red Bus Brewing

Open to clients and the public. All well-managed, leashed dogs welcome.
