PACT – Pawsio Active Canine Team
A Self‑Paced Canine Activity & Enrichment Titling Program
When you brought your dog home, you made a promise to give them a good life. PACT is about honoring that promise through movement, engagement, and consistency.
The Pawsio Active Canine Team (PACT) program is a flexible, non‑competitive titling program designed to encourage regular physical activity, mental enrichment, and healthy routines for dogs and their handlers.
PACT celebrates consistency over intensity. Whether your dog enjoys leisurely walks, enrichment at home, structured training, or more advanced activities, PACT provides a supportive framework to recognize your commitment to your dog’s wellbeing.
PACT is open to all dogs, all breeds, all ages, and handlers of all abilities.
How the PACT Program Works
Participate in weekly activities with your dog.
Owners with multiple dogs may enroll each dog separately.
Earn points across four activity categories
Submit a simple weekly check‑in form
Accumulate qualifying weeks to earn official PACT titles
The program is self‑paced, and qualifying weeks do not need to be consecutive.
Accessibility & Adaptations
PACT welcomes handlers and dogs with physical, sensory, or cognitive disabilities. Activities may be adapted as needed, provided the intent of the activity category is maintained.
