PACK ADVENTURE: Paws, Parkour & Soup

ABOUT THE EVENT:
Pack Adventures are hiking adventures that happen during the week. They attract a smaller group of people which is perfect for dogs that need some additional space in a group.

Join us for a 2-mile hike in Portsmouth, NH, where you and your dog can enjoy beautiful views of the marshlands, open trails, and peaceful forested areas. This scenic hike is perfect for all skill levels and provides the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the area while getting some exercise with your canine companion.

Along the trail, we’ll look for opportunities to practice parkour movements, using nature’s features like logs, rocks, and low branches to challenge our dogs and boost their confidence. It’s a fun way to add some extra excitement to the hike and engage your dog’s mind and body.

After our hike, take a short drive with us to Seacoast Soups, a local gem with delicious soups made fresh daily. They no longer have their outdoor picnic tables, but feel free to stop with us and pick up a warm and yummy treat for the ride home.

Come prepared for a fun and active day with your dog!

Benefits of joining us include:

• Engage in mental stimulation and sensory enrichment for your dog through parkour and natural exploration.
• Build your dog’s confidence by helping them navigate natural obstacles, enhancing their agility and problem-solving skills.
• Strengthen the bond between you and your dog through quality time spent together in a peaceful, outdoor environment.
• Improve socialization for your dog by interacting with other dogs and people in a controlled, welcoming, and positive setting.
• Reinforce training and dog-handling skills in a practical, real-world environment.
• Reduce stress and improve your mental well-being by spending time in nature.
• Connect with fellow dog lovers, fostering a supportive community and new friendships.

IS THIS EVENT GOOD FOR REACTIVE DOGS?
Reactive Dog Level 2. See our Comfort Chart for explanation. This is a popular area but we expect it to be quieter mid-week. The trails are wider for the most part and allow for dogs and their people to spread out and step off trail if someone approaches. At Seacoast Soups, we will be able to spread out at outside picnic tables. If you have concerns or questions about if this event is right for your dog, please email woof@goldendognh.com for assistance.
