freedom hikes
off-leash hikes with structure, calm and connection.
Because freedom is earned, not given.

We're excited to announce starting in September we will be offering small-group off leash adventure hikes on private property near Maple Mountain. These hikes provide a safe, controlled environment with no risk of encountering other people or dogs on the trail.

​

Overview

Freedom Walks are not your average off-leash dog hike. These small-group trail sessions are designed for dogs who’ve already built a foundation of trust, calmness, and recall—and are ready to take those skills out into the real world.

 

Led by a professional trainer, each walk focuses on structured movement, trail manners, and reliable recall—with plenty of time for sniffing, exploring, and fulfilling your dog’s need for real, enriching adventure.

 

It’s freedom—with boundaries. Fun—with focus. And a truly fulfilling outlet for dogs who thrive in calm, confident groups.

​

 Where We Hike

Freedom Walks take place on private, fully-permitted land—meaning no unpredictable off-leash dogs, no crowded trails, and no surprises. Just your dog, the group, and a calm, structured environment where we can truly focus on training and connection.

 

Our trail network is designed with dogs in mind:

• Varied terrain and natural enrichment

• Space for long-line practice and reliable recall

• Boundaries and safety measures already in place

• Quiet, peaceful settings that support calm group energy

 

​

 What Makes a Freedom Walk Different?

• Trainer-led hikes focused on behavior and skill reinforcement

• Calm group energy—no chaos, no wild play

• Structured recall games and attention checks throughout the walk

• Safe, thoughtful socialization with like-minded dogs

• Hikes take place on PRIVATE PROPERTY. 

• Daily report cards via our app on your dog’s behavior, focus, and energy

​​​

 

 Who It’s For

• Dogs who have completed one of our programs, Day Training, Level 1  Group Training, a private training assessment, or dogs who have a high level of recall training

• Comfortable in a group, with no aggression or intense reactivity

• Reliable off-leash or working toward it with a long line

• Calm enough to move in a group and respond to handler cues
