Hiking meets training

We get your dog out of the house to enjoy the great outdoors in the company of a select group of walking buddies. Dogs learn best when its fun for them, so our packs have the freedom to sniff, explore and play with their fellow pack members while learning at the same time. We keep their minds active and engaged with training exercises to build better social skills, trail manners and obedience throughout our hikes.

play and train

Every hiking adventure includes fun training exercises so your dog learns trail manners and obedience skills. Plus, we select hiking locations that maximize mental and physical stimulation including trails, beaches and creeks. This gives your dog the opportunity to problem solve, negotiating varied terrain such as climbing rocks and crossing creeks, keeping their mind active while enhancing their physical fitness at the same time.

our philosophy

We’re firm believers that dogs need socialization, enrichment and playtime so they can be well-adjusted, confident companions at home. Even though dogs can’t talk, they speak in other ways. Their behavior shows us they experience emotions, just like people. They need mental and physical stimulation to challenge their minds and bodies, relieve stress and anxiety and bring them enjoyment. We meet this need by going on true adventures together, allowing the dogs to use their cognitive skills to navigate the natural obstacle courses our hiking locations provide, including varied terrain and water, while also practicing obedience skills.

“My two big dogs have been walking with Karen for several years now.  She picks them up at the office and brings them back hours later, happy and exhausted.  It gives me the ability to work late without feeling guilty if I miss their evening walk. She understands animals and is very good with and for our dogs.  She is happy to work weekends when needed and either picks them up from the home or office.  I have used many dog walking services and she is hands-down the best. To keep the dogs entertained she picks them up and drives them to different hiking spots so they are never bored. Sometimes they are gone for several hours and she always ensures they are hydrated.”

“Karen is a rare find. She is great with the dogs, and takes them on hikes and adventures while always having complete control of the pack. She is reliable and I trust her completely with my dog. I also love seeing the pictures she posts every day on instagram of the days outing. She really loves taking the dogs on hikes and walks and I have no hesitation in recommending her service. Her Instagram photos show that she is always having as much fun as the pups.”
