Summer in Missoula is the perfect season to get outside with your dog\u2014but for our Off Leash K9 Training grads, it\u2019s more than just a walk in the park. Our exclusive Pack Walks<\/strong>, offered only to OLK9 grads, are designed to reinforce the training you’ve already invested in while giving your dog the structure, focus, and continued exposure they need to thrive in real-world settings.<\/p>\n If you’ve completed one of our programs, these walks are a powerful way to strengthen and maintain your dog\u2019s skills.<\/p>\n A Pack Walk is a structured group walk led by our trainers, where OLK9 grads walk their dogs together\u2014on leash, in a calm and controlled environment, with guidance and coaching provided throughout. These aren\u2019t play sessions or social hours. They\u2019re focused, purposeful walks designed to build discipline, confidence, and a stronger bond between you and your dog.<\/p>\n Even the most well-trained dogs need continued practice. These walks help reinforce essential commands like \u201cheel,\u201d \u201csit,\u201d and \u201cplace\u201d in a real-world setting with distractions like bikes, wildlife, other dogs, and more.<\/p>\n Training doesn\u2019t stop after graduation. In fact, consistency is what helps those results stick. Pack Walks give you and your pup the opportunity to apply your training in a new environment\u2014while still getting support from our team.<\/p>\n Whether your dog is reactive or just overly excited, these walks help them learn to stay neutral around other dogs without the pressure of interaction. It\u2019s a safe space to build social confidence without overstimulation.<\/p>\n Our trainers are right there with you\u2014coaching, correcting, and answering your questions throughout the walk to help you and your pup succeed.<\/p>\n Our Pack Walks are exclusively for Off Leash K9 Missoula grads<\/strong>. If your dog has completed our Board & Train program or Private Lessons, you\u2019re welcome to join! Limiting participation to grads allows us to ensure a safe, structured environment where everyone knows the foundation of training.<\/p>\n Structured, on-leash walking<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Guidance from certified OLK9 trainers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n A community of like-minded dog owners and their well-trained pups<\/p>\n<\/li>\n A relaxed, rewarding way to reinforce training while enjoying Montana\u2019s summer<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n We send out Pack Walk invitations via text and email to our grads.
