Why Choose PupVentures?
Life gets in the way
We get it! Ideally you'd be the one taking them hiking, right? At PupVentures, we understand not everyone is fortunate enough to have a bunch of extra free time (especially these days) and going for a hike is simply not realistic for a lot of hard working pup parents. PupVentures to the rescue! We believe every dog deserves outdoor enrichment and we are here to help.
so many benefits
For all sentient beings, less stress equals a healthier body and mind. Choosing PupVentures is an investment in your pup's mental health and longevity. Hiking exposes your pup to a wide range of sights, smells, and sounds, keeping their minds actively engaged the entire walk. Street walks can become monotonous for many pups while hiking offers new experiences with each outing! The novelty of a new hiking environment stimulates your pup's curiosity and problem-solving abilities. Hiking also provides a more physical workout than street walks as trails often include hills, rocks, and uneven surfaces, which provide more of a challenge for your pup's muscles and coordination. All of this means you can achieve a stress free, mentally satisfied pup in a relatively short period of time!
we do all the work!
We know all the good spots! Low foot traffic, plenty of space, with lots of delicious scents and sights. We strive to create an experience that works for pups of all physical and social levels! Because of this, we tend to avoid the most popular trails, off leash dog beaches and community dog parks. We enjoy bringing the pups out into nature to truly experience the benefits of hiking while also setting every pup up for success!
intimate & Unique
We like to keep our pack walks small. No more than two to three pups per handler, sometimes four, depending on the individuals and trip. We take the time to get to know your pups and find them their perfect "pack mates" so every hike is a great adventure! We do our best to specialize each trip to ensure every pup gets the most out of their experience. Our goal is to deliver you a pup that is satiated and serene.. 😌
We understand pack walks are not ideal for all nature loving pups so we also offer solo adventures!
