Canine Explorers Adventure Program

Canine Explorers is a structured adventure and enrichment program for dogs who need more than a walk or backyard time. This program focuses on mental stimulation, confidence building, and practicing calm behavior in real-world environments.

This is not daycare and not a traditional training program.

What Canine Explorers Is

Small-group, guided adventure outings where dogs are transported to parks, trails, and dog-friendly outdoor locations.

Dogs participate in:

  • Structured walks and exploration

  • Sniffing and environmental enrichment

  • Calm group movement

  • Supervised, intentional time outdoors

Dogs are on leash or long line unless approved for off-leash time.

Approval Requirements

Dogs must:

  • Be non-aggressive toward people and dogs

  • Be comfortable being handled and transported

  • Have basic leash manners

  • Be up to date on vaccinations and on flea/tick medication

Approval may require an evaluation or existing training relationship.

  • Enjoy being outdoors

  • Need more mental enrichment

  • Are social or neutral around other dogs

What Dogs Practice

Many clients pair Canine Explorers with private training or day training.

Safety and Structure

Safety is the priority on every outing.

  • Dogs are grouped by size, temperament, and energy

  • Long lines are used when appropriate

  • Off-leash time is earned, never automatic

  • Locations are chosen carefully

Participation is approval-based only. with private training or day training.
