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 2-level small group class 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.
How It Works
