Special Considerations

CHALLENGES TO CONSIDER: Make sure everyone is safe, that there is water provided for dogs and their owners, and that expectations are set for everyone to play nicely with each other!
THE BEST TIME TO DO THIS: An ideal time for this event is in the Spring or Fall, when it’s not too warm or cold for pups and humans!
SPONSORING OR PARTNERING ORGANIZATION: A local pet store, doggy day care, or veterinarian are good partners. is your best bet.
- You could also ask them to have trainers on hand to offer advice (fora small extra donation!).

You need to walk your dog, so why not walk with everyone else in your community at the same time? A pup walk can be as simple as selling a ticket, providing a goodie bag, and arranging a meetup location, or as elaborate as closing down the streets, adding in contests, and making a parade and festival out of it. Go wild!
