Why choose me?
Each adventure is led by me! As a Fear Free, Certified Professional Dog Trainer, I have years of experience managing group settings, while using positive reinforcement to interrupt undesirable behaviors and reinforce good ones.
Not a typical dog daycare. To provide a stress free group environment, dogs are given the option to opt out of socializing in an outdoor environment. Most of our time is spent exploring, scavenging and sniffing, but each dog is encouraged to play appropriately.
Each group is tailored based on age, size, temperament and social skills. To ensure safety for all, there is no more than 4-5 dogs per outing.
Not a typical dog walk. If you have an active, high energy dog, hiking can provide adequate mental and physical exercise. This helps your dog burn off excess energy in healthy, non-destructive ways.
Guaranteed safety and supervision. In order to protect your pets to the best of my abilities, I am fully insured and bonded under Pet Care Insurance™. As a trail expert, I know how to navigate the terrain and avoid hazards such as coyote dens, areas with heavy foot traffic, etc. I stay connected with the local community as well to report any dangers.

About Me
Miriam Lee, CPDT-KA, Fear Free Certified Animal Trainer
Dogs have always been a significant part of my life, as my previous dog was a rescue Jindo named Jenna, who taught me resilience and adaptability. I learned how to grieve the dog I had hoped for, how to advocate for her special needs and how important consent is in dog-to-human interactions.
I have been in the industry for over 12 years and I am committed to building trusting relationships with dogs and their owners. In 2024, I designed this adventure program based on my love of being physically active in the woods and deep understanding of canine behavior.
As a certified professional dog trainer with a specialization in reactivity, I know how to:
● Confidently manage group settings
● Interpret body language (calming signals, posturing)
● Reinforce polite trail manners
● Use motivation to recall dogs
● Properly utilize longlines/draglines
● Provide structured socialization
● Interrupt play that can border on overarousal
● Help unconfident dogs to think for themselves, while building confidence out in the world
“Our dog always waits by the door to be picked up by Miriam. She has become an important part of both his and our lives. I can’t recommend her enough for her professionalism, knowledge and love for dogs.” -Mary B.
What people are saying…
“Miriam is a hardworking, reliable and knowledgeable. I am so glad to know that my dog is getting the much needed training, mental and physical exercise she deserves.” -Liz S.
“We have two high energy dogs that went from being restless to calm thanks to her help! Her attention to safety have not only kept them healthy and happy, but it’s also given us a peace of mind knowing that they’re in the best of hands.” -Sarah H.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I allow a maximum of 4-5 dogs, depending on their temperament, age, size and hiking ability.
-
I take each dog on a trial hike during the onboarding process. Dogs that have a reliable recall and know how to safely navigate and appropriately interact with others are allowed off leash.
I use drag lines, long lines and leashes for those that are anxious in new environments, are at risk of taking flight or are currently working towards being off leash. -
Dogs are only taken to off-leash permitted hiking destinations in the Greater Boston area. This is to respect the earth, preserve trails and to keep everyone out of harm’s way.
-
For adventures, I offer a 15 min. phone consultation before we set up a meet-and-greet and trial hike (same day).
-
All dogs must be fully vaccinated, have a reliable recall (for off-leash clients) and generally enjoy the company of other dogs.
In order to keep everyone safe, even if muzzle trained, I cannot allow dogs with a bite history of other dogs.
