We love all dogs no matter the breed, age or size, no discrimination here. However, there are three considerations we look at before accepting new dogs: temperament, training and physical shape.

Temperament. First and foremost, your dog must get along with others. This is our only non-negotiable.

Training. Your dog should have the ability to recall while off leash either by voice commands or e-collar. Not confident in your dogs abilities here? We are more than happy to try and help in this area if needed.

Physical shape. Since most of our adventures are a little more demanding than a neighborhood stroll, your dog should be in good physical shape and able to hike a minimum of two miles. Some lite duty activities are also available for senior dogs, dogs working on getting in shape and smaller breeds not able to handle the workload of the more demanding adventures.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your dog, just ask.

We are currently running one adventure per day during the week, along with special weekend excursions on occasion. Pickups will usually start around 9:00am, a little later in the winter months. Depending on the location and where you are on the route that day, you can expect your dog to be gone anywhere from 3-5.5 hours. A better timeframe will be communicated with the owner once the days routes have been made. Dogs are picked up and transported in our custom dag wagon with rear ceiling AC, plenty of windows and room to hold 12+ doggos comfortably.

Our basic adventures/hikes cost $35/day (additional dogs from same location will be $30). This includes pick-up and drop-off service, 2.0-2.5 hours of adventure, and depending on your dog, average distances from 5-10 miles (current record is 13.5). A report of your dog’s daily stats will also be made available to the owner.

There are multiple benefits of using GPS training collars, peace of mind being number one. Your dog’s well being and safe return home is always our top priority. Because of the nature of off-leash adventures where there can be chance encounters with wildlife or other distractions, having a dog take off is always a possibility. We use Garmin radio frequency GPS collars that do not rely on a cellular network, so your dog’s location is always known.

Another awesome benefit of using GPS collars is the data they collect. At the end of every hike the dog’s stats (distance covered, avg. speed, elevation gain, overall time) are saved and then shared with their owners. If you have a dog that likes to run, it’s always fun to see how much more ground they cover then the actual distance of the hike. For example, on an average 3 mile hike my GWP Sweet Lou will usually log anywhere from 5-7+ miles.

We try and take advantage of multiple locations depending on the season, weather, dogs in the group and the time of day. We like to use trails in the trees on hotter days, wide open hills and flats for the dogs that really need to burn off some energy, along with lots of time in the water to cool off and swim with their buddies. We mainly use Lolo & Bitterroot National Forrest land along with other public lands in and around Missoula County where off-leash dogs are permitted.

Great question! Before we can get your dog in the rotation, we will do a quick meet and greet with a couple other dogs to get a feel for your pup’s personality and temperament. To schedule a meeting time, click the button below to fill out our new client form.
