TRAIL READY

A Small Group Class For Off-Leash Adventure!

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

Level 1 gets you started and Level 2 takes you across the finish line, giving you practical skills, real-world results, and the confidence to let the leash go.

Give your dog the freedom they crave in only 8 weeks.

FAQs

  • 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. Let’s work together 1-1 to resolve the reactivity first, and then you can join Trail Ready!
