Before your first walk
Who can join?
Start with a trainer invitation. Your trainer gets to know you and your dog and helps you prepare for a positive group-walk experience.
Growing through the Puppy Track?
We recommend joining after PUP 3, with your trainer’s invitation.

Build foundations through the Manners Track or private lessons. Your trainer will help you work toward joining Sniff Club.
What skills will we work on before joining?
Your trainer will help you practice:
- Reading your dog’s body language and recognizing when they need more space.
- Managing the leash and keeping a comfortable distance from other dogs.
- Reinforcing calm behavior and rewarding voluntary check-ins.
- Helping your dog turn away and move with you when needed.
- Pausing to sniff, take a break, and reset after a distraction.
These are skills to build together, with support, at a pace that works for your dog.

Worried about other dogs?
For dogs with a history of fear or reactivity, Sniff Club can be a supported next step after building foundations with a trainer. Your trainer will help you decide when a group walk is a good fit.
Success can be calmly sharing space, noticing another dog and checking back in with you, or taking a break when your dog needs one. We focus on comfortable distances and positive experiences, with room to move at your dog’s pace.
