Canine Coach Team Walk Come join us for a short walk around Discovery Lake's Gratitude Trail with new friends! The Canine Coach Team Walk is a fantastic opportunity to expose your dog to a new environment while enhancing your handling skills in a supportive and structured setting. We can’t wait to see you there! Address: 650 Foxhall Drive, San Marcos, California, 92078 WHAT TO EXPECT When you arrive, please find a spot in or near our circle. Make sure there’s enough space for everyone, keeping at least 3 feet between each dog. Coach Ariel will start by introducing herself to the group, and then we’ll go around the circle so you can share your name and your dog’s name.  PARKING INFORMATION You can park along Foxhall Drive or in the neighboring streets. There’s also a small parking lot near the lake, but it tends to fill up quickly, so arrive early if you plan to use it. Parking is free. Before signing up, please take a moment to review the Team Walk Guidelines and How to Prepare sections on our Canine Coach Team Walk webpage. EVENT DETAILS Meeting Time: 9:00 AM
Walk Distance: 0.8 miles (1 lap around the Gratitude Trail)
Walk Duration: Approximately 30 minutes, with 1 short break to hydrate.
Trail Difficulty: Easy, Flat (22 ft Elevation Gain) Trail Type: Gravel, pavement, and one section of dirt trail
Environment: Outdoor, natural setting with moderate traffic, including people, dogs, kids, runners, and bikers. Meeting Place: We’ll gather in the small grassy area past the parking lot near the picnic tables. If you see the playground, you’re in the right spot! Relax & Decompress Session: After the walk, we’ll give the dogs a chance to potty before moving to a designated area for rest and decompression. This is a valuable time for many dogs to learn to “just be” around others. It’s also a great opportunity to practice commands like sit, down and stay if your dog is ready. Feel free to use treats and positive feedback to encourage good behavior! Meet the Trainer! Coach Ariel Santa Maria from Canine Coach will be leading our walk! During the Relax & Decompress session, this is your chance to seek advice from a professional dog trainer and gain valuable insights to help you and your canine thrive!

We may stop suddenly, or pause the walk momentarily to cross at street crossings or allow others to catch up if our team is separated.What to Bring: Please bring water, poop bags, and treats.Prevent dogs from marking or pottying in inappropriate areas. Choose suitable locations for bathroom breaks and always clean up after your dog.Post-Event Interactions: If you wish to stay after the trainer concludes the event, please ask permission from other dog owners before allowing any dog interactions.
