AKC FIT DOG WALKING CLUB
DUE TO COVID 19, FIT CLUB WALKS ARE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. YOU CAN REGISTER AND JOIN THE WAIT LIST. TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE WALKS RESTART.
September 2018, AKC launched the AKC FIT DOG program where dog owners who walk a specified distance with their dogs can receive a free AKC FIT DOG car magnet. It has been a great success and now the program has expanded to recognize AKC FIT DOG Clubs! DOG GONE GOOD DOG TRAINING is pleased to announce in March, 2020, we became a recognized AKC Fit Dog Club!
Do you want to walk with your dog, meet some people and get some exercise? Join me for a woof pack walk!
Wednesdays @ 8:30 a.m. – Upper Salford Park, 1199 Schwenksville Road, Schwenksville, PA 19473. This is not far from Spring Mountain Ski Lodge.
We will walk for 1 hour with structured stops (if needed). All dogs must be on a 4-6 foot leash (or waist leash) and be able to walk on one side at a good steady pace. Dogs must be able to behave in the presence of other dogs. We will walk in all weather. Please note that the walking trails will not be plowed after a snowfall.
Prior registration is required, so please do not arrive unannounced. If you need some help with leash walking, sign up for one of my classes or schedule a private appointment. Thanks!

For the safety of all dogs and their human companions, you MUST READ THE RULES and sign a paper document. Click here for document.
- This is a walk with dogs, not a social hour for the dogs. The dogs actually never greet each other, only walk together.
- Come whenever you can – walk for the full hour, or just part of the hour.
- You are welcome to RSVP prior or just show up.
- Young children are not encouraged to attend as the walk is adult- paced. Children in strollers are acceptable.
- One dog per one handler.
- If we have already started walking, you can cut across any field to join the group.
- There is no play time between the dogs during the walk.
- The goal is to keep all the dogs moving forward the entire time.
- Come prepared with the supplies you feel are necessary for YOUR dog.
- Please have sweaters and coats on very cold days for smaller, light bodied breeds, toy breeds, and breeds that naturally have very short or thin hair coats.
- Please carry fresh water and bowl/dispenser on very hot days.
- Absolutely NO retractable leashes – you must have your dog on a four or six foot leash.
- Be prepared with poop bags to clean up after your dog if necessary.
- The pack may not stop for dogs eliminating. You will have to catch up.
- Female dogs WHILE IN HEAT cannot participate.
- Proof of dogs’ health and vaccinations are NOT required, so walk at your dog’s own risk.
- If your dog is lethargic, has diarrhea, vomiting, is coughing, they should not participate.
- Any liability, damage or claim arising from attacks, bites or other acts by a dog owner’s dog or any other animal against any person, animal or property is solely the responsibility of the dog owner.
- I have the right to ask any dog owner to cease participation if I feel you are not in control of your dog or if there is a risk to another dog or human companion.
- Please keep in mind that this is a social walk for me as well, and not an official training session.
