Pack/Group walks are a GREAT way to socialize the adult and young dog in a non-threatening and positive way and also a great way to work leash etiquette in a semi-controlled setting! If your dog is anxious, walk further away from the pack and work your way in at your own dog’s comfort level.

NO RETRACTABLE LEASHES on our walks and please remember to bring your own waste bags for responsible clean up after our dogs. A portable water source is a good idea as well.

This walk begins at Must Love Dogs at 106 Washington, Grand Haven. We will walk the waterfront to Escanaba Park where we will take a water break and then to base of pier after which we will proceed back to Must Love Dogs! It is about a 2 mile walk. You may jump in at any point if your dog might not be able to do the entire walk.

There is no cost to join our walks.
Keep an eye on Must Love Dogs' Facebook page & event page for rain cancellations.

Thank you for joining us on our walks and making them so fun! Pack Walk Schedule:
