Join us for group walks around San Diego County with new friends! This is a fantastic opportunity to expose your dog to a new environment while enhancing your handling skills in a supportive and structured setting.
Team Walks are open to ALL dogs and their owners regardless of whether you have trained with Canine Coach in the past.
Team Walks are lead by Ariel Santa Maria, the founder and trainer of Canine Coach.
Come out and introduce yourself!
We begin each walk by gathering at the designated meeting location. There, we’ll introduce ourselves and review the Team Walk Guidelines before setting off together through beautiful San Diego County! Each walk lasts approximately one hour, unless another time is mentioned.
During the walk, Coach Ariel may give attendees obedience or behavioral exercises or host a Decompression Session, where dogs are reinforced for being calm and relaxed in a group setting. Our walks are the perfect opportunity to practice basic skills around others, meet new friends, learn more about training, or just get neutral exposure to new people, places, and dogs.
Do you have burning questions about dog training? This is your chance to seek advice from a professional dog trainer and gain valuable insights to help you and your canine thrive!
Coach Ariel will end the session by officially concluding the event.
