Saturday Morning Trail Socials

A structured, professional alternative to the dog park.

Join us for a 60-minute guided trail session designed to build neutrality, focus, and calm engagement. This is not a "play group"—it is a controlled learning environment where dogs learn to exist comfortably around others without the pressure of physical interaction.

What to Expect:

Strictly On-Leash: A safe environment for all temperaments.
Maximum Space: Small groups of 4-6 dogs with plenty of "buffer room."
Focus on Neutrality: Practice responsiveness to cues amidst real-world trail distractions.
All Levels Welcome: Perfect for "excited greeters," shy dogs, or those just wanting to polish their trail etiquette.

The Details:

Location: Bradley Palmer State Park, Topsfield (Meet at the main parking lot).
Parking: $5 day fee or $60 annual pass available at the kiosk.
Equipment: Standard flat 8ft or 15ft leash. (Please NO Retractable leashes) and your dog's favorite high-value treats!

Note: If your dog has a history of severe aggression toward humans or dogs, please contact me for a private assessment before booking a group social.
