Wend Morning Dog Walks In Town - YorkieTalk.com Forums

We found the most wonderful group of people that, some run, but others walk their dogs, at 5:30 am on Wend Mornings. We have to be up out of the bed at 4:15 to go.....AND SO WORTH IT!

We live out. We used to live waaaaaaaay waaaaaaay out. 50 miles from tiny towns, and 9 miles from our closest neighbor. Our 2 y/o GSD was not raised around other people at all. So moving here, she had adjustments to make. SHE IS DOING SO WELL!

Going on these Group Walks, means not only being around people, but there were 7 dogs this morning. IT'S LIKE A FREE DOG CLASS!

Katy, our Yorkie, goes everywhere with us (EVERYWHERE) but Teanna our GSD can not. Katy gets to go, but rarely sees the floor. She's usually in her carrier or stroller. SO THIS IS GREAT FOR BOTH.

It's a 2 mile walk at a fast pace....so Katy is really a Runner, just not with the other Runners. Ha! Great training on walking, not barking, we pass homes with dogs barking at us, we do NOT let our dogs bark back. AND GOOD SOCIALIZATION AROUND OTHER DOGS!

Sounds like a great plan for all involved.

We did this in our neighborhood. Excellent way to socialize the dogs and get to know your neighbors!

Great socialization for young pups, and great workout for all the pups moms and dads.
