Canine Enrichment Adventure
The Ultimate Outdoor Adventure!
Pups have their Adventure Guide’s undivided attention on these solo, long-line play and relationship-centered Enrichment Adventures to local trails, parks, lakes, and wild places. We encourage dogs to be dogs! Letting them run, swim, follow their nose, dig, and explore natural areas, within reason. We’ll set up puzzles, expose them to novel activities and environments, and help them meet their instinctual needs of the predatory sequence in a structured, safe, and engaging process with fun, challenging, and mentally stimulating games.
Adventures include pick up and drop off services, GPS tracking, photos/videos*, and a handwritten adventure log. Adventure time starts the when tails hit the trail and ends when we’re back at the trail head. Anticipate your pup spending extra time with their Adventure Guide to accommodate pick up, transport, drop off, and end of adventure tasks including; paw wiping, water refreshing, and an adventure log entry.
Please note: Your pup may come home from their Adventure with more nature than they left with. Your Guide will do their best to wipe their paws and towel them dry. If there are days you’d prefer your pup to stay clean and dry, please notify your Adventure Guide in advance so they may adjust their itinerary accordingly.
Prerequisites: Comfortably rides in the care with foundational obedience and leash skills.
