What to Expect
Join Happy Dance for a winter wonderland version of our structured, community-wide dog walk designed to bring people and dogs together in a calm, positive way. We’ll start with a group walk through the beautiful Christmas display, keep going along the little paths around Centennial Park, and then enjoy some hot chocolate afterward (local businesses- we are looking for your support with this 💗).
This is a free community event — open to all families and dog owners who want to enjoy time outdoors, strengthen their bond with their dogs, and learn a little along the way.
Important Details
• Stay in your car until 8:00 PM. Please do not gather outside early. At 8PM sharp, we’ll meet, give brief instructions, and then set off together.
• Volunteers will be easy to spot. Look for the neon pink beanies if you need help or have questions.
• Families are welcome, but children must give dogs plenty of space at all times.
Rules for Success
Our goal is a safe, enjoyable walk for everyone. Please follow these guidelines:
• Personal space: Maintain 6ft between dogs while walking and 10ft when stationary.
• Interrupt fixations: Don’t allow your dog to stare or fixate on another dog. Redirect calmly.
• Keep your dog beside you: If your dog can pull, trip, or knock you down, please sign up for training before joining these events.
• Stay positive: Be polite to each other, pedestrians, and any other people or dogs we encounter. Give ample space and practice patience.
Safety Reminder
Your dog’s safety — and the safety of others — is in your hands. Please stay alert, maintain space, and use good judgment at all times. These walks are structured to give you and your dog positive socialization in a safe community setting.
After the Walk
Stick around for some hot chocolate 💗
