KC Pittie Pack

One of the best ways to socialize your dog is to be social with your dog.  Group walks are a great way to help inexperienced, fearful and even some leash-aggressive dogs overcome their hang-ups and get used to behaving well in public.

Crystal from Wayward Dogs and I founded KC Pittie Pack & Friends, a walking and hiking group for dog lovers in Kansas City. On a more or less weekly basis, we offer a safe, structured and non-judgmental atmosphere in which dogs and their people can get outside and practice their social skills.

Although the group’s name contains a nod to pit bulls — a breed near and dear to Crystal’s heart and mine – all kinds of dogs are welcome to join the KC Pittie Pack. The group is open to dog owners, dog-less people and folks who foster dogs.

The group can be a good way to network and gain visibility for adoptable pets. We encourage animals currently available for adoption to wear an “adopt me” vest or collar to our events.

Our location changes with every outing, as we visit a mix of urban and park settings in and around the Kansas City metropolitan area. If you would like to know more about KC Pittie Pack & Friends, please visit our Facebook page.
