Walking Buddies

Trainer-Guided Group Walks

Select Saturdays available through December.  Find them HERE.

$50 per session

Does your dog have great manners at home but forget everything the moment you head out for a walk? New sights, sounds, smells, and distractions can be challenging—for both dogs and their people.

Walking Buddies is a trainer-guided group walk designed to help you and your dog practice real-world walking skills in a supportive environment. Join one of Napa Humane’s professional trainers as you explore different parks throughout Napa County while receiving real-time coaching to help build confidence, strengthen your bond, and reinforce polite walking skills.

Whether you’re looking to improve your dog’s manners in new environments or simply want extra guidance without the cost of a private training session, Walking Buddies offers a fun and supportive way to practice together.

Please note: Walking Buddies is intended for dogs who are comfortable around other dogs and people. It is not designed for dogs with leash reactivity. All dogs must remain on leash throughout the session.

In the event of extreme weather, participants will be notified of a new location or rescheduled date.

FINKO at The Fink

Join us for a fun-filled evening of FINKO (bingo) at The Fink—where every game supports Napa Humane and the Power of Prevention!

📅 Tuesday, September 1, 2026
📍 The Fink – Downtown Napa-530 Main Street
🕓 Doors open at 4:00 PM | Games start at 6:00 PM
🎟️ $10 for 10 games
🏆 Great prizes, distinctive drinks, and fabulous food

100% of game proceeds benefit Napa Humanem, helping us prevent suffering before it starts through accessible, high-quality spay/neuter services and other prevention-focused programs for pets and the people who love them.

Spay/neuter is at the heart of our work because preventing unwanted litters means fewer animals entering already overcrowded shelters and rescues—and more pets getting the chance to live healthy, happy lives with the families who love them.

Gather your friends, grab a bite and a drink, and play for a cause. Together, we can harness the Power of Prevention to create a healthier future for Napa Valley’s pets.
