Active Pups and People

Moderate to Strenuous Hike - 5.4 miles - 1350' of elevation gain. Note there is a parking fee and limited/no cell signal in the parking lots. We will meet at the Sunol Visitor Center.

This loop has steep and exposed sections, so please wear proper footwear and bring enough water for both you and your dog. There are some off-leash areas, so if you are comfortable removing your dog's leash in those areas, you are free to do so.

Take note that there are grazing cows in the area as well as spots with poison oak. We will try to move with care and ask that people call out any concerns so that we all may have a safe hike together.

Dog lovers that are non-owners are WELCOMED. Just bring yourself, a guest, and your love for dogs.

WARNINGS and DISCLAIMERS

• Dogs must be on-leash (6 foot of less) at all times. Please abide by park rules.
• All owners are solely responsible for their own dogs and must have full control of them. This includes, but not limited to controlling and preventing any adverse behaviors such as lunging, attacking, or biting other people or dogs.
• If your dog is untrained or is highly reactive to other people or other dogs, do NOT attend this event.

‼️ NEW 7PM START TIME ⏰ Casual walk to stretch out the legs for both your and your pups after a long day at work (or snoozing in bed).

This pack walk welcomes dogs with various temperaments including mild dog reactivity for you as an owner to work on advocating for your dog's space and boundaries while helping them build confidence around other dogs. We ask that if you have a mildly reactive dog, you can attend if you have already done some level of reactivity and neutrality training with them so you have the tools and techniques to practice on your dog.

We will start at main Quad building at Lick Mill Park facing Lick Mill Blvd - (limited parking in the lot, street parking on Lick Mill Blvd is available). We will then cross over into Ulistac Natural Area, then onto Guadalupe River Trail and then back along Lick Mill Blvd. Expect ~60min walk with flexibility for pups and people to end early or walk on for longer.

LIMIT of 12 people plus their dogs. Please note, we are not dog trainers and if you have a HIGHLY reactive dog to either people or other dogs please do NOT attend this event.
