Structured Hikes For Dogs Who Love Adventure
At Tails and Trails, we do more than just walk dogs. We lead purpose-driven pack hikes that blend structure, socialization, and real-world training. Our hikes help dogs build obedience, confidence, and calmness while having fun out on the trail.
Each outing is designed to challenge the mind and body. Dogs practice skills like recall, leash manners, and neutrality around other dogs, all while exploring new environments, burning energy, and doing what they love most: being outside.
Each hike offers structured freedom with clear expectations. We help dogs stay engaged, work through distractions, and respond reliably, even in the excitement of the great outdoors.
Because a well-trained dog isn’t just obedient; they are confident, connected, and truly enjoying the journey.

Weekly Structured Pack Hikes - 2 hours

Our small-group, 2-hour trail hikes are more than just a walk in the woods—they’re immersive training sessions designed to meet both physical and mental needs. Dogs practice on and off-leash skills, recall, and impulse control while engaging in safe socialization with a well-matched pack. Each hike is guided by a professional trainer and kept intentionally small to ensure structure, safety, and fun for every dog. These hikes are perfect for dogs who enjoy adventure and benefit from consistency and leadership in a real-world environment.
Weekly Private Hikes - 2 Hours
$80/Hike (includes pick up and drop off)
These 2-hour one-on-one hikes are tailored to dogs who need a little more support before joining a pack. Whether your dog is working through reactivity, building confidence, or learning to tune in despite distractions, this personalized experience provides structure, movement, and hands-on training. With no pressure from other dogs, we’re able to go at your dog’s pace, reinforce obedience in real-world settings, and create positive associations on the trail. Ideal for dogs in training or those transitioning into group hikes.
