Big Adventures. Happy Dogs.

Because a tired dog is a happy dog.

Our Walks & Hikes

Pack Hikes

For the explorers, the runners, the sniffers. Our pack hikes take small, well-matched groups out to trails and open spaces where they can stretch their legs, burn energy, and socialize—all under expert supervision. Perfect for active pups who love adventure.

Solo Walks

Not every dog is a pack dog, and that’s okay. Whether your pup prefers a quiet stroll, needs a little extra attention, or just likes to take things at their own pace, we’ve got them covered. One-on-one walks are tailored to their needs, whether it’s a neighborhood jaunt or a peaceful trail walk.
