Adventure Walks
Adventure Walks are mentally and physically stimulating hikes in natural areas on dirt paths, featuring a variety of terrains and inclines. We balance structured loose-leash walking with relaxed sniffing and exploring. Water and rest breaks are included throughout the adventure.
While our walks are never off-leash, your dog will be fitted with a GPS tracking collar so you can receive proof of the adventure, including a map of the route and video highlights of your dog’s hike.
Muddy paws and legs will be cleaned before your dog returns home. Paw balm for pre- and post-hike care is available upon request.
Adventure Walks are available in 1 and half hour (3-4 miles) and half day / 4-hour sessions (5 plus miles and structured outdoor play), either one-on-one or in a pack of 2–3 dogs.
Obedience - Training
I offer training in basic obedience, household manners, and trail manners. I am a Will Atherton Accredited Trainer. We can focus on a single skill or build a custom training program based on your dog’s needs. I’m happy to collaborate during your Meet and Greet to design a program that fits.
I am not a certified behaviorist (yet—I’m currently in training), so I do not offer support for behavioral issues at this time.
All training sessions are one-on-one, held at your residence or a public park. I do not currently offer board-and-train programs or group classes.
