Walk Safe, Stay Confident, join us for an empowering evening focused on helping dog owners feel safe, prepared, and confident — especially during nighttime walks. This one-of-a-kind event combines practical self-defense training, personal safety strategies, and community connection in a supportive, pet-friendly setting. Learn techniques to stay alert and protected while walking your dog after dark, gain confidence in handling unexpected situations, and connect with fellow pet parents who share your commitment to safety. Meanwhile, your pup will enjoy supervised off-leash playtime with our trained staff. Because safety isn’t just about walking alone — it’s about walking empowered, with your best friend by your side.

What’s Included

  • Guided personal safety and self-defense training from a certified instructor
  • Nighttime dog-walking safety tips and situational awareness strategies
  • Supervised off-leash playtime for pups during the session
  • Access to Pup Social’s indoor lounge and park
  • Opportunity to connect with other local dog owners and safety-minded community members
