Prices and Process

Unleash your dog

Our off-leash hiking adventures provide pets with a unique opportunity to get outdoors, to socialize, and to explore new trails! We offer 2-hour off-leash hikes with small groups of well-behaved dogs. These hiking adventures are a great way for pets to exercise, to meet new friends, and stimulate their bodies and minds! Each pet is provided with a Garmin GPS collar to wear for the duration of their hiking adventure for added safety and peace of mind. We also provide safe and reliable transportation with our van for pick-up and drop-off at your home or office. Please contact us to learn more!

• Pick-up time: 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM

• No need for owner to be present for pick-up or drop-off

The adventure

Your dog will embark on an exciting 2-hour hike through the beautiful woods of Whatcom County. Surrounded by their furry friends and guided by our experienced staff, they'll explore nature, get plenty of exercise, and enjoy off-leash freedom in a safe, controlled environment. By the end of the adventure, your dog will return home tired, happy, and ready to relax, having expended their energy and experienced the mental stimulation of new sights, sounds, and smells.

Getting started

Initial interview

This is a chance to get to know you and your dog and be sure that our hiking adventures are suitable for them.*

• Location: Your dog's home turf

• Purpose: Assess suitability for hiking adventures

• Timing: Afternoons and weekends

During the initial interview, we'll:

• Observe your dog's behavior and temperament

• Assess their energy level and physical condition

• Discuss your dog's training background and commands they know

• Review any health concerns or special needs

• Explain our hiking protocols and safety measures

• Answer any questions you may have about our services

This meeting typically lasts 30-45 minutes and helps us ensure that your dog will thrive in our group hiking environment.

Age requirements

• General: At least one year old

• Giant breeds: At least 18 months old

Age requirements are based on veterinarian recommendations to avoid long-term joint problems caused by stresses to young dogs' joint growth plates.

*We reserve the right to decline any dog if we feel they're not a good fit for our program.
