Mutual health benefits being out in nature

Opportunitiy to grow and practice skills (learning in context) in a group setting (hello distractions!)

Meet your dog’s need for exploration, social and autonomous/free movement in a natural environment

Practice, dare I say “embrace” (yikes!) yucky dog behaviour (e.g., the dreaded ‘rolling in something’… lol)

Invites co-regulation (mutual nervous system relaxation) with time away from our busy, fast paced world

Opportunity for your dog to develop trusting friendships with other dogs when ‘hanging out’ more regularly

Social skills development through ‘parallel’ experiences (learning to respect each others feedback from a variety of breeds and ages)

Team confidence, trust-building for trail hiking and beyond

Invites growth of natural canine self-regulatory behaviours (i.e., sniffing, peeing, ground scratching, etc)

Mindful, judgement-free support every step of the way
