Learn proper “petiquette” on public lands. During the program, pets and their human companions will hike with a park ranger to learn about the B.A.R.K. Ranger principles. Afterward, participants become official B.A.R.K. Rangers during an induction ceremony where they receive a certificate and bandana.
