Trail Tails
Trail Tails is a Drop-In style advanced class focusing on taking your dog's leash walking and obedience skills out on the trails! Each class will meet at a predetermined location (within 20 minutes of the SSF facility) to set out on an easy-moderate trail hike. We will learn trail etiquette and practice maintaining your dog's polite on-leash behavior in a group setting while enjoying the PNW summer.
This class is open to current SSF clients with dogs over 1 year old who are non-reactive towards people or dogs. A solid foundation of basic cues (sit, down, stay, come) and leash walking is preferred. Please contact Audra (audra@sitstayfit.com) if you have questions about your dog's eligibility for this course.
Next sessions coming Spring 2025!
