We've been taking leashed walks with our group of midday walks down at the Emeryville Marina. Here's a picture of the bay last week. Our group dog walks are a great way to implement leash training for our dogs. We work on heeling, sitting, staying, off and release commands. The four of us walks upwards of five dogs each and have been having great success. The change up from dog parks to leashed walks didn't take long at all. Our dogs figured out how to do most of these commands in the first week. We are finishing up week three now and all but a small number of dogs, mostly puppies are doing quite well. Our midday dog group is a ton of fun and with places as beautiful as the Emeryville Marina it's literally a walk in the park! Our dog walks are an hour long and depending on our dogs can range from 2-3miles per walk. We never walk faster then our slowest dogs. Sometimes, that's very slow, sometimes they all have a ton of energy!

Here we have Dash in the background and Henry up front. Both are taking in the sun and sea breeze as they look out upon the ocean. We took these two out for an adventure in the Marin Headlands. This dog walk took place at the Rodeo Cove located just on the tip of Marin right before the Golden Gate Bridge. Henry is prone to running off on his own so we used a forty foot horse lead to rein him back in if he ot to far away. He seemed more then happy to have the ability to run around and we liked that he couldn't get away!
