AKC Fit Dog Walks are open to the public. For clients of Sit Means Sit, these are not group classes and will not be counted against your class for the week. You DO NOT need to register in TimeTap. Just show up 🐶.
Your dog does not need to be AKC registered to come. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy walking your dog and getting some exercise with like minded people.
If you are working towards your AKC Fit Dog Title, please bring paperwork and an AKC evaluator leading the walk will fill it out at the end of the walk.

As a reminder, dogs should not approach or interact with other dogs unless you have verbally asked the other dogs owner if it is ok to have your dogs meet. These walks are open to all, even people with reactive/aggressive dogs. We ask that if your dog is reactive or aggressive that your dog wears a yellow bandanna, just to let others know you and your dog need more space to be successful.
