PACK WALKS
PACK WALKS SATISFY DOGS BOTH MENTALLY & PHYSICALLY
Need some help getting your dog the exercise they need while you’re busy at work? Could your dog use some social time with a larger social network of dogs and people? All our dog walking sessions should incorporate physical exercise, training, and mental stimulation. We offer on leash pack walks to support the training, exercise, and socializing needs of our clients. This is great standalone service, and an amazing supplementary item to pair with your training program.
• WHY ON LEASH? Structured, on-leash walks help reinforce what most owners want their dogs to learn: how to stay calm on leash, around other dogs, and in city environments. We found off-leash pack walks to be high adrenaline for many dogs, and saw a correlation between overstimulation and leash reactivity, aggression, and anxiety. On leash pack walks are a calm alternative focusing on mental clarity and structure. Bonus points for no risk of being lost. Our clients also report: hitting the town on a busy weekend or traveling, our pack dogs are calm and collected because they practice that vibe all week.
• WHEN AND WHERE DO YOU WALK? We walk Mondays through Fridays all over the East Bay, including: Lake Merritt, Jack London Square, East Oakland, Chabot Park, Diamond District, West Oakland, Montclair, Rockridge, Piedmont, Emeryville, Temescal, Berkeley, Alameda, East Oakland, Chabot Park, San Leandro, Albany and Kensington. We are closed on major holidays.
• DO YOU DO PICK-UPS? Yes! For your convenience, we pickup your dog from your home and return them safe and sound each day. We want to help break-up your dogs day while you’re busy with life, and give you a chance to go get other shit done!
• ANY OTHER BENEFITS? Want a little dopamine boost in your day? How about a pic of your pup with their pack! We send a daily photo of your pup out on the town with their pack. Take a look and visit our Instagram for more. Aside from daily photos, a focus on training, regular team discussion, and one monthly team meeting with our facility training team, we run credit for boarding and walking with us. This means, if you go on vacation and your pup boards with us, the following month’s walking subscription will be reduced.
If your dog does not have bite history or leash reactivity, you can reach out and we will book you for a complimentary meet and greet.
For dogs that are reactive or have bite history, we can support you with some training to help you transition into our packs. If you’re ready for a plan to support your dog in preparing for pack walks, book an evaluation to find out next steps!

WHAT’S YOUR RATE? Canine Comprehensive offers a flat-rate subscription package for our pack walks. This means your rate will be static. Cancellations and holidays are already factored in for your convenience. To get harmony within the packs, we’ve found that we need to see dogs on a regular basis, and we have a three-day-per-week minimum.
We offer special rates for two-dog households: contact us for more details.
