Join us as we weave our way through UTC. This is a short walk with lots of distractions. We will be walking by all kinds of stores and scents, it's a great place to practice for walking through crowded areas. Recommend parking on the second level of the Sunset Garage as parking everywhere else will probably be a challenge.
We’ll meet BEHIND the little dog park on the lawn (northern part of Montrose Park, 32.869996043593446, -117.21039800018664) so we can give our pups a chance to go potty before we begin (trying to minimize potty breaks while we walk through the mall). Parking is free for the first 2 hours, so we will be sure to finish well ahead of that.
Park as close as you can to the UTC Mall dog park. The Sunset Garage or parking near Macy’s (southern lot will get you pretty close), as will the lot right next to the ice rink.

We have grown an amazing and supportive community. To keep everyone safe and promote a calm environment, by attending our walks you are expected to follow & respect our rules:
- All dogs must remain on leash at all times, handlers must maintain a 3 foot lead. NO retractable or bungee leashes permitted.
- NO greeting dogs inside or outside our pack until the walk is over, with permission. Please always keep dogs on leash. We know some dogs are friends, but use this time to practice following structured socialization.
- Maintain at least a 6 foot distance to prevent nose-to-nose/tail interactions. If your dog is a beginner or reactive, we recommend taking more space if needed, by walking at the back of the pack.
- Come prepared and advocate for your dog. Bring adequate water, poop bags, treats, etc. Monitor your dog and always do what’s best for them. If your dog is slowing down, consider stopping early. If your dog is panting, request a break to give them some water.
Our Community Pack Leaders will be leading the walk and can answer any questions that come up. We are looking forward to meeting you and your pup!
