Know the colors

The bandana system

Pick the color that fits your dog today.

A simple visual code so every dog gets the space they need. Not last week, not in theory. Today.

All good here

Green

Friendly and social. Comfortable greeting other dogs and people. Happy to be in the mix.

Easy does it

Yellow

Reactive or in training. Doing well, but needs space and time. No surprise greetings, please.

Give us room

Red

Needs space from people and dogs. Walks with room on either side, mixed through the pack, never stuck at the back.

Not sure which color fits? Take the bandana quiz, or ask us at the walk.

How a walk goes

Why I love pack walks

Calm is contagious

Dogs feel the energy of the group.

When a pack moves together at an easy pace, nervous dogs borrow confidence from the calm ones. Reactive dogs get to practice being near other dogs with space, structure and a trainer close by.

And you get to practice too: reading your dog on the move, noticing the small signals before a big reaction, and breathing through it. Many of our regulars started out on red.

Pack etiquette

A few simple rules

Questions

Pack Walk FAQ

Is it really free?

Yes, always. Idaho Pack Walks is a community group. There's nothing to pay, sign up for or buy.

My dog is reactive. Can we still come?

Absolutely. That's exactly who the bandana system is for. Wear yellow or red and we'll help you find a spot in the line where your dog has room.

Do I have to be a Psyche K9 client?

No. Pack walks are open to the whole community, no program required.

What if I don't have a dog?

Humans without dogs are welcome too, especially if you're thinking about getting one and want to see what calm dog energy looks like in motion.

Can kids come?

Yes, with adult supervision and the same greeting rules as everyone else.

What if it rains or snows?

Walks happen in most weather. If it's unsafe, like ice, extreme heat or lightning, we post a cancellation in the Facebook group. Always check before you head out.
