Excellent Recall

Your dog should reliably come when called, even with distractions. This ensures safety, freedom, and a fun off-leash experience with the pack!

Experience with wildlife encounters

​Your dog should remain calm and responsive during wildlife encounters, avoiding chasing or excessive excitement to ensure safety for both the pack and local animals.

Basic Obedience Training

Your dog should have a solid foundation in sit, stay, and loose-leash walking. These skills help maintain safety, structure, and control during pack adventures.

Ability to walk for at least 1 hr

Your dog should be comfortable walking for at least one hour on varied terrain to fully enjoy the pack experience. This ensures they can keep up, stay engaged, and have fun on our adventures!

Readiness to explore & have epic adventures!

​

If your pup isn’t quite there yet with recall, no worries! We offer limited private walks to help build their confidence and skills until they’re ready to join the pack.

Our goal is to create a safe, fun, and enriching experience for every dog—let’s set them up for success!
