Free Pack Walk - Bloom Assisted Living (Lakewood)

I am introducing free pack walks at Bloom in Lakewood, starting Saturday, March 6 from 1-2. Typical Pack Walk protocols will be enacted, similar to the Bradley Woods Pack walks, with the exception that I am not able to accommodate truly reactive dogs (if you have a question about your individual dog's ability to attend, please ask!).

The purpose is to give the residents an hour to enjoy our pooch parade, while working on your leash skills and Piloting skills. With your support, we are hoping to make this a monthly occurrence.

We will be taking a leisurely stroll around the outside of the facility (look for the Darwin Dogs signs). Learn to Pilot your dog on the walk, and enjoy your walks again! A few things to be aware of before attending our free pack walks:

- Masks are mandatory during any one on one interactions. Have them on an in place upon arrival. Once we start walking, feel free to remove, but if you need assistance from me, your mask must be on your face properly.

- NO RETRACTABLE LEASHES

- If you want a little refresher prior to arriving, please watch the link below regarding how to walk your dog without drama.

- If you have not done training through Darwin Dogs, that's fine! Just check out some of the blog posts at DarwinDogs.org under the "Leash Walking" menu option for tips.

Looking forward to seeing you, and remember to check for updates and weather cancellations before leaving your house to attend!
