Why Is There A Fee For the Pack Walk And What Does It Go Toward? The fee for each pack walk helps cover the costs of hosting the pack walks (my time, experience, and costs incurred ... my insurance is greatly increased for not only hosting classes and events without breed restrictions but also specifically because these walks are not a "training class" in a classroom but a supervised socialization opportunity out in public with a certified, reward-based dog trainer). The fee also helps create accountability for those who complete their RSVP, which in turn helps me prepare appropriately for the expected size of the group.

!!Dog Vaccines: Up-to-date vaccine records (DHPP, Bordetella, & Rabies) must be emailed to tracy@feetandpaws.com no later than 24 hours before you and your dog's first pack walk.

!!Release: Signed Liability & Photo Release must be emailed to tracy@feetandpaws.com no later than 24 hours before you and your dog's first pack walk. feetandpaws.com/Tips-and-Such/Feet-And-Paws-Liability-Photo-Video-Release.pdf

!!Human Health & Safety: If you or anyone you live with are feeling sick in any way, including but not limited to fever, shortness of breath, cough, upset stomach, recent loss of taste or smell, etc., do not attend the pack walk.

As Always,
Bring:
✔️Your dog on a 6 foot leash—NO retractable leashes or slip collars (One dog allowed per handler). You must hold on to the leash at all times.
✔️Water for you & your dog (don't forget a bowl)
✔️Sturdy shoes

Ask:
✔️Each dog's owner if you can approach BEFORE approaching
✔️For yellow ribbon if your dog needs space

FYI: To make pack walks successful, they are cross-posted, and attendance is drawn collectively from all platforms, so the number you see here may not reflect the final number.

I can't wait to meet you and your dog!
