Has anyone here ever done one of those charity walks where you walk with your dog? Humane Society walks or whatnot?

I'm considering doing the Humane Society Walk with Murphy in a few weeks, but I am wondering if this is going to be mass chaos or not.

I've been in several with both our dogs - - 'lia May 7, 06:51
Never have...but you have to consider that not everyone there will hve a well trained pet... - Jim May 7, 06:24 1
- Or owner. *brings a flask* -- nm - Will Hunting May 7, 06:25
Do you ever take The Murph to dog parks and other places where he can be social with lots of other dogs and people? -- nm - Diva May 7, 06:24 6
- The one trip to the dog park did not go well - but that was my fault, not the dog's. Now I know how to handle situations, do things differently. - kelly May 7, 06:27 5
  - i think maybe a dog walk, with THAT many other dogs might overwhelm him if he's not fully socialized yet. -- nm - Andie May 7, 06:28 4
    - LIR: yggm. - Diva May 7, 06:30
    - possibly but he won't get better without being exposed. can always duck out after a couple of blocks -- nm - zork May 7, 06:29 2
      - yeah, that's good as long as you have a contingency plan if he gets anxious. -- nm - Andie May 7, 06:30 1
        
        I just called the Humane Society and I feel okay with the whole thing. - kelly May 7, 06:41
Every block, there's a bottleneck at the fire hydrant and this is one walk being at the rear of the line offers no positives. - Will Hunting May 7, 06:23 6
- Why? You have a girlfriend equipped with plastic bags, that's enough! :) -- nm - kelly May 7, 06:28
- do people use scoopers? everyone here just uses a bag. - Andie May 7, 06:27 3
  - My dog goes in the woods. -- nm - lileve May 7, 07:04
  - I have a scooper for the yard, but use bags when out and about -- nm - decline May 7, 06:35
  - but in our backyard I have a kid-size yellow plastic snow shovel -- nm - zork May 7, 06:30
- I don't think you want to carry that around the whole time. just put a few bags in your pocket. -- nm - zork May 7, 06:26
we've been to a doggie Easter Egg hunt -- nm - zork May 7, 06:23
