What can you learn from pack walks?
The things you can learn and the progress you could possibly make within a safe, inclusive and understanding pack are endless. From personal experience both as somebody who hosts structured pack walks and loves joining others pack walks, the right dogs and the right environment could give you that turning point you've been seeking and needing - without even knowing it!
I have put together a pack walk guide to make your searching and frustration finally come to an end. Many businesses listed in this guide, I have personally attended and have found helpful for Tucker and I. Check back regularly for more resources or reach out to me if you're looking to join a pack near you!
