WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT ADVENTURES

Fun and unique experiences for dogs and their people

We bring dogs and their people together for exercise, education, and socialization in a positive, welcoming, and fun environment.

We host around 75-125 in-person and online events every year. Monthly, you can participate in special events, official adventures, pop up adventures, nature walks, socials, holiday activities, dog training events, and much more. Our events are only limited by our imaginations…and we have some pretty big ideas!

Trail Rating System

This trail rating system was created to advise participants of the ease or difficulty level of our events as well as the pace at which we will hike/walk. This rating system is created for our average participant. If you are an avid hiker, you may find our rating system slightly off for your ability.

If you have a question about an event and if it is right for you and your dog, please Contact Us for more information.

Official Adventures are hosted monthly by our expert partners who lead an organized program during the outing (i.e. hiking preparedness, loose leash recall, canine fitness, sensory exploration, and more). Members receive 25% off the cost of these events.

These adventures are part of a series of events that “pop up” on the calendar throughout the year. It gives members the opportunity to get out more and enjoy fresh air and friends. Members receive 25% off the cost of these events.

This includes:

  • Hikes & Hops – After a hike, we gather at a brewery to enjoy the local flavor.
  • Wine & Wags – We enjoy a walk at or near a local vineyard with our dogs and then enjoy social time while tasting wine and other spirits.
  • Mutts & Mead – After a hike or walk, we gather at a local medery to taste this unique concoction of a fermented beverage made of honey, water, and yeast.
  • Picnics & Ice Cream Socials – Summertime is perfect for a hike, picnic, and ice cream social after. You will find these types of events on our calendar regularly from late spring to early fall. 
  • Swimming – We know the best swimming spots around and host fun socials for dogs and their people throughout the summer. 

Pack Adventures take place on Thursdays from 3:00-5:00pm during the summer months and occasionally during the winter months depending on the weather. We plan to host Pack Adventures on different days and at different times in 2023 to offer more variety. Members receive 25% off the cost of these events.
