Hiking Hounds: Off Leash Adventures
We believe meaningful behavior change starts with meeting the whole dog...their needs, instincts, emotions, and biology. One of the most powerful ways to support a dog’s mental well-being and training success is through intentional off-leash movement in nature.
When dogs are able to move freely, explore, follow scent, and make choices, their brains literally rewire. This kind of biologically appropriate enrichment builds confidence, supports nervous system regulation, strengthens training outcomes, and feeds your dog’s soul in ways neighborhood walks simply can’t.
That’s exactly why we created Hiking Hounds: Off-Leash Adventures.
This program combines the freedom dogs crave with the safety, structure, and professional oversight they need. Through carefully selected groups, thoughtful off-leash preparation, and real-world exploration, your dog gets the chance to really be a dog; while improving their behavior, training, and long-term well-being.
If you’re ready to give your dog an experience that nourishes their body, mind, and confidence, you’re in the right place, reach out to get started, your dog will thank you 😉

What makes Hiking Hounds so special?
Well... we're glad you asked, we focus on

Guided Socialization
Socialization is more than just dogs playing; its learning how to interact with the world. Whether in a group or solo with a trainer, getting to positive exposure to new places is the goal.

Biological Enrichment
Meeting dogs needs is the basis of calming the chaos of life with your dog. Time spent off leash, exploring, climbing and in a group is one of the fastest ways we can meet those needs.

Trainer Led
Off-leash hiking can be daunting, but our trainer expertise means we're prepared and ready to navigate the trails, social interactions, and meeting each dogs individual needs on every hike!

Movement Focused
Movement, in nature, sniffing, chewing, zigging and zagging all fill a dog's biological cup. Combined with moving as a group, we're rewiring dogs brains to be the best versions of themselves.
Hiking Hounds currently runs Monday and Wednesday mornings with pick-up and drop-off in different areas depending on the day
