Off-Leash Adventure Awaits!

Trail Ready: Your Dog’s Path to Off-Leash Freedom

Off-leash adventures sound amazing — until your dog blows you off and you spend the rest of your hike trying to get them back... That’s where Trail Ready comes in.

This 3-level training series is designed to take your dog from sometimes comes when called to reliable off-leash hiking buddy. Whether you dream of peaceful trail walks, more freedom at the park, or just want to stop yelling “COME!” into the void — you're in the right place.

FAQs

  • The Trail Ready Program is best for dogs 5 months of age or older.

  • There are no make-ups, and you will likely fall behind if you miss a class. I recommend making class a priority or postponing registration until you can commit to all the classes.

  • This class is not appropriate for dogs who struggle with reactivity.

  • This class is not suitable for dogs who are reactive to other dogs. Reach out to me for other training options.

  • Good quality treats, a regular leash, and a long line.
