Pack Walk Prep

This class is the first step to joining our Mt. Tabor Pack walks!
We will assess you and your dogs readiness to join the larger pack walk to ensure that the walk is a learning opportunity, not stressful. I have been working with dogs with behavioral issues for 15+ years. I created pack walk in 2013 to show my rescue pitty, Sara, that she could trust dogs. My motivation was simply to see her live her best life. I refused to follow the avoid and manage training plan! We can teach new behavior!

If you are avoiding walks during normal walk times and managing behavior via distraction, you are simply getting through that moment until the next dog comes along.My goal is to teach handlers the leash skills that will change your dogs behavior on leash. It is important that you feel connected with your dog and are able to maintain communication EVEN WHEN THEY LOOK AT ANOTHER DOG! Increasing skills will increase confidence and decrease anxiety for you and your dog. We spend so much time on leash so lets enjoy it!

Leashes must be fixed 4-6ft.
Options for walking gear (if you are clipping to something other than the flat collar) include front clip harness, nose lead, or a Sprenger collar. If you are using a harness with only a back clip option you may nice it is harder to get pulling under control and it is simply because your dogs shoulders are the strongest part of their bodies!

Please note: To have an effective class we need a minimum of three (3) people registered, not including the host. Classes with less than three attendees will be rescheduled. Please check the attendee count and messages BEFORE you head to the class. We will do our best to notify you the Friday evening before the event if we are going to cancel due to low turnout.

We look forward to seeing you there and we are here if you have any additional questions. To learn more about our private training and socialization options, check out our website at www.thebalanceddogpdx.com
