Why This Is Worth It

Busy schedule? Your best friend can still have a real adventure — coming home tired, happy, and easier to live with.

  • Better behavior at home — exercise reduces boredom behaviors (chewing, digging, barking) and supports calmer evenings.
  • Health + longevity — regular aerobic movement helps joints, weight, and cardiovascular health.
  • Confidence + social skills — structured pack time builds polite greetings, impulse control, and recall.
  • Mental enrichment — new scents, terrain, and tasks satisfy a dog’s need to “work.”
  • Real convenience — we handle pickup/drop-off, towel-dry, and send GPS + media so you can enjoy the highlights.

FAQs

Do you go off-leash?

Only where permitted and only for dogs with reliable recall under our supervision.

Will my dog get dirty?

Probably a little. We towel-dry at drop-off; a bit of trail dust is part of the enrichment.

What if it rains or it’s hot?

We choose shaded routes, water access, adjust duration, and start earlier when needed.
