Dog Training and Hiking
Outdoor Fun Together
as nature intended
The Importance OF
Getting Back to Nature
There is nothing natural about these busy, modern lives we lead
It’s hard enough for us to manage, but dogs generally have no idea how to navigate this human world.
This disconnect leads to stress, dysfunction, and those behaviors that drive you nuts.
How can we help?
We help bridge the gap: helping you and your dog to get back to nature, giving them healthy outlets for their natural instincts, and teaching them how to navigate this strange human world more appropriately.
Leaving you with a stronger bond and a happier, more balanced dog

What they say
Jordan C.
Gus
Amazing service, thoughtful treatment and care and upskilling/training Gus. We've seen Gus make tremendous strides in his confidence, willingness to interact with strangers or people that he's unfamiliar with and attribute a lot of that to his hikes and the level of care that each ADL hiker gives to Gus.

Moxie
Moxie is happy to be in the woods and with other dogs, having her exercised and seeing nature while we are tied up with work is so valuable to us. And the knowledge that she’s safe, every person who hikes her knows her and we have full trust in.
