5 Reasons to Join a Canine To Five Pack Walk

You already know that we offer the best dog boarding, doggy daycare, and dog grooming in Metro Detroit, but we also offer some social activities for you and your dog such as Drinking With Dogs and Pack Walks. We view Canine to Five as a community, and we enjoy spending time with the entire family of the dogs that we take care of.

• 1. Socialization (for your dog)! Pack walker Kelly says, “My dog, Kyra, has people reactivity challenges. We have leveraged the pack walks to get her more accustomed to being around people she doesn’t know. She tends to feels more comfortable around people that have dogs, so the pack walk is perfect! It’s also a great training, socialization and exposure opportunity, as there are lots of people riding bikes, skateboards, roller skating, scooters, etc!”

• 3. Fitness (for your dog)! We all know the struggle of getting enough dog walks in during the colder months. Put our Pack Walks on your calendar and COMMIT.

• 4. Fitness (for you!) Sometimes the gym just doesn’t cut it. Humans need to be outside, even when it’s cold! So layer up, boot up, and meet us Sunday morning! Then you can go to brunch and imbibe guilt-free!

• 5. The Detroit Riverfront is the best! Our Pack Walks meet at Cullen Plaza on the Detroit Riverfront. We might walk the Riverwalk or the Dequindre Cut, or both, but whatever route we take it is scenic and inspiring and offers some of the best Detroit views out there.
