Adventure Days

Once your pup completes a minimum two-week course with us and meets the minimum requirements for off-leash safety, they can sign up for our Adventure Days. We organize pack hikes and outings to dog-friendly locations to engage their senses and change up the scenery. Not only will they benefit from physical exercise and mental stimulation, but they’ll also have fun burning off energy with their pup pals!

Individual Day Camp Days

Need your pup out of the house on cleaning day? Long work day full of meetings ahead of you? Once your pup completes a minimum two-week course with us, they can join in on weekly day camp sessions with our pack, continuing their structure, correct socialization and supervised play in a fun, engaging group setting. Your dog won’t just learn — they’ll have a blast, too!
