Pack in the Park - Kiwanis

Service Description

Drop in, show up, and get to work. Our park sessions put you and your dog in the real world, not a controlled classroom, not a sterile training floor. You'll be working around real distractions, real dogs, and real environments where the skills actually need to hold up. Every session is built around the fundamentals that matter most in public. Your dog learns to stay connected to you when the world is pulling their attention everywhere else and the pack around you isn't just background noise, it's part of the training. What you'll work on: Marker training basics — understanding how to communicate clearly with your dog using a mark and reward system Mark and release — precise timing so your dog knows exactly what earned the reward Duration — building your dog's ability to hold position and focus for longer periods under pressure Leash walking — loose leash fundamentals in a dynamic environment with other dogs and handlers around you Neutrality work — teaching your dog to acknowledge distractions without reacting, staying calm and focused in the presence of other dogs, people, and movement Equipment orientation — hands-on guidance for the tools you're using, so you understand how to apply them correctly and get the most out of every interaction Every session is coached in a small group format. You'll get eyes on your work, real-time feedback, and structured guidance. If you're looking for dedicated 1:1 attention, reach out to inquire about private sessions. No appointment needed. Just show up ready to work. Location: Meet at Waterfall
