FREE Turkey Trot 5K Dog Walk + Train
Saturday, November 21 at 1 PM
Milford Trailhead at the Gathering Pond
Grab your dog, lace up your shoes, and join Common Scents Dog Training for a fall afternoon on the trail!
We’re opening this event to the public, so you don’t have to be a member or current client to join us.
Come meet our team, enjoy time with your dog, and see what we’re about.
This is a group walk with training support along the way.
We’ll help you practice leash skills and navigate everyday distractions while your dog gets exercise, new smells, and a change of scenery.
You’ll get:
A guided 5K walk—approximately 3.1 miles—with your dog.
Practical leash skills guidance from our training team.
A goodie bag for your dog!
What’s an AKC FIT DOG Club?
Common Scents is an American Kennel Club FIT DOG Club. These clubs bring dogs and their people together through group walks and fitness activities that encourage a more active life.
Interested in earning an AKC FIT DOG title with your dog?
This walk can contribute toward the activity requirements. A title takes additional qualifying activities and an application (it isn’t automatically awarded for completing this event). You don’t need to be working toward a title to come have fun!
Before you grab the leash
Dogs must be current on vaccinations and able to participate safely around other dogs and people while remaining under their handler’s control. Barking alone doesn’t mean your dog can’t join us. Dogs displaying unsafe behavior or becoming too overwhelmed may be asked to step away or leave.
Please bring a standard, non-retractable leash, waste bags, water, and training treats.
Give other dogs space, and ask before allowing greetings.
Consider your dog’s age, health, and current fitness when deciding whether a 5K is appropriate.
