Absolutely! You do not need to be an official member of the Club to attend our walks/hikes, online, and other special events. Instead, you can pick and choose the events you want to attend and pay the event fee. We also offer a punch card that can be purchased in our store for 10 events at a discounted rate.

Currently, the Club is an open membership. However, we do raise our rates seasonally as more benefits and curriculum are added. Joining now locks in your rate as long as you are a member in good standing. 

We collaborate with certified dog trainers, canine fitness experts, veterinarians, pet photographers, animal communicators, and other pet professionals who demonstrate a commitment to our Core Beliefs. Most experts we work with are located in NH, ME, or MA, but we occasionally bring in national experts who offer topics of interest to members.

Annually, our members choose a NH-based, pet charity to support through an application process. The Club raises funds for this nonprofit throughout the year, creates awareness of its cause, and features them in promotional materials.

Sustainable pet care is the BALANCE between the NEEDS of our pets and the needs of the environment. Helping your pet live its best life saves you money and time, and has a direct and POSITIVE IMPACT on the planet. We interweave these messages into everything we do and teach through the NH Dog Walking Club.

Walking with the Club is about connection, education, and exercise. A lot of research and preplanning goes into making sure our participants are safe and have an enjoyable time at our events.

This includes:

• Visiting trails ahead of scheduling a walk to look at conditions and trail signage.
• Confirming event locations can accommodate our parking needs.
• Checking for safety guidelines during hunting season, covid restrictions, and leash laws.
• Emailing and calling land organizations to clarify details and/or request special permission.
• Working with conservation commissions and select boards to get approval for first of its kind events.
• Planning fun and unique activities for dogs and their people.

The fees we charge for walks and events also help us cover insurance costs.

The P.A.W.S. Trail (launching January 2022) is a collaborative effort between the NH Dog Walking Club, several certified dog trainers, and other pet professionals located throughout NH. This interactive curriculum welcomes and introduces members to the Pack, and gives them access to education and resources that have been developed for members based on survey feedback.

Monthly, members also have the opportunity to connect with other members, dog trainers, and pet professionals in our online Zoom Room for additional support and education.

Your membership leads you through our 5 stages of dog training success, including:

1. Welcome to the Pack
2. Pack Member
3. Sport Dog
4. Trick Dog
5. Traveling with Dog

At each stage, you will receive the resources and education needed for you and your dog to learn valuable dog training skills. You then advance to the next stage and earn Club badges to mark your achievements.

After attending 6 Official Club Events in a calendar year, you will earn a Club t-shirt. This opportunity is available each year since our t-shirt designs change. Members and non-members can earn the Club t-shirt.
