Wag-N-Walk

Wag-N-Walk is a free group dog-socialization program offering free walks and training. The program is hosted by Hounding Around's Head Trainer and owner, Avery Dobson. Bring your dog training questions and get ready for some group exercises and walks in Gresham's parks.

We ensure each dog's space is respected. Reactive dogs, puppies, overly excited dogs and dogs needing a confidence boost are welcome. The walks are a great opportunity to practice neutrality around other dogs and people.

Wag-N-Walk rules

• Dogs must remain leashed.
• All bathroom breaks need to be cleaned up.
• No on-leash greetings with other dogs. This helps keep everyone safe and comfortable.
• Participants follow requests and guidelines set by Hounding Around.

If your dog is reactive, we can work together safely and effectively, provided you keep your dog controlled on a leash.
