Trail Club
Ingrid Bostrom
Trail Club is where the human-dog team takes center stage. You and your dog join the pack on the trail together, deepening your bond, building on what you've already accomplished, and growing as part of the community we're creating here.
When1st and 3rd Friday each month: 9 - 11AM
Dogs practice neutrality, build stamina, and learn to move well in a pack.
Humans practice reading their dog, managing real situations, and respond to their dog in real time under the guidance of our coaches and the community’s shared experiences.
Together, you build clarity, connection, and consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions - Trail Club
-
One dog per handler.
To ensure safety, maintain proper social neutrality, and allow you to give your dog 100% of your focus and guidance on the trail, we limit attendance to one pup per person. If you have multiple dogs, you are welcome to bring a second handler along, or alternate which dog joins us each week!
-
Trail Club dogs will remain on leash as we walk path’s that require dogs to be on leash (unless they are service dogs).
The exception to this is when we go to Los Padres National Forest. Once “Ok-ed” by a Coach your dog may be off leash.
-
We control the environment so you can advocate for your dog's space. While dog-to-dog interactions do happen on the trail, we actively manage the pack to ensure it remains a safe working environment. Off-leash dogs are closely monitored and taught to respect boundaries, staying away from teams that need extra distance. Our coaches are always there to help you control the space so your dog can build neutrality and focus at their own comfort level.
