Pflugerville Pets Alive Dog 5K
If you’re looking for a fun outdoor activity to do with your pup or family, then the Pflugerville Pets Alive Dog 5K is for you. The dog-friendly event allows you to bring your non-reactive dog on a leash that is preferably not retractable for safety reasons. You can walk, jog, or run this race while raising awareness and funds for dogs in need at the Pflugerville Pets Alive Rescue. Be sure to sign up, dress appropriately for the weather forecast, and come out to have a great time and show your support to a local shelter!

If your dog needs to build confidence in social settings, this may be the perfect opportunity to train your dog to overcome their uncertainty. A professional trainer leads this class in an outdoor environment with other dogs. With expert advice and guidance, this controlled environment could help your dog improve their reactivity. Bring a secure leash and some irresistible treats, and sign up today!
