Frequently Asked Questions

How many dogs do you take at a time?

I allow a maximum of 4-5 dogs, depending on their temperament, age, size and hiking ability.

Are all dogs let off leash?

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.

Where do you take dogs?

What is the sign up process?

For adventures, I offer a 15 min. phone consultation before we set up a meet-and-greet and trial hike (same day).

Are there any dogs you don’t allow?

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.
