Handler walking a small group of dogs on leashes along a park path

Exercise, friends and manners in one walk

Group Dog Walks in Boston

Small neighborhood packs of no more than eight temperament-tested dogs, led by a professional handler and tracked by GPS.

Overview

Group walks give your dog exercise, socialization, sensory stimulation and training reinforcement all at once. Regular, positive time with other dogs builds friendlier associations and reduces the reactive habits that come from too little exposure, while the added distraction of a pack makes every command your dog follows a little stronger.

We organize walks with dogs from your own neighborhood across Boston, Quincy, Milton, East Boston, Weymouth and Braintree, so your dog meets its neighbors and learns the area. That familiarity helps keep them safe if they are ever lost. Walks run 20 or 45 minutes, and every route is visible in the client portal.

  • Never more than 8 dogsEvery dog is temperament tested before joining a pack.
  • Neighborhood packsYour dog walks with dogs from your own area and learns the streets around home.
  • Training with distractionsHandlers reinforce commands with other dogs around, where it matters most.
  • GPS-tracked routesWatch every walk live in the client portal.

Is it right for your dog?Choose a group walk if your dog consistently does well with other dogs, you want more socialization, or you want training reinforced in a setting with distractions. Dogs with extra energy to burn often love our playgroups too.
