Hike with Your Dog, Boston!

Join dog trainer Lindsey Dreszer, CTC for a group dog training hike in Allandale Woods! We'll spend the first 10-15 minutes training one skill to use on hikes and then hit the trail as a group for a leisurely 45-minute hike. We'll train our dogs, enjoy nature, and get to know one another. Lindsey will be available for training tips and advice.

Ground Rules:

• Dogs should be comfortable greeting dogs of all sizes and temperaments on leash.
• Force-free, positive reinforcement only. No shock, prong, or chain collars, or slip leads.
• Dogs should have all appropriate vaccinations.
• All experience levels welcome!

What To Bring:

• Your dog on a 6-foot leash.
• LOTS of high-value treats for your dog. These hikes will be distracting and exciting for your dog, so you'll need treats that really grab their attention.
• Poop bags.

Location: We will meet at a quieter trailhead near the intersection of Leland Road and Crehore Road in Chestnut Hill, not at the main trailhead for Allandale Woods.
