Dog Hiking Services

On average, most clients send their dogs out 2-3 days a week, typically following a MWF or Tu/Th schedule. Some clients opt to send their dog(s) seven days a week, while others opt for one. We strongly recommend our hikers join us a minimum of two times per week, preferably on a recurring schedule. This gives your dog the opportunity to become familiar and comfortable with several staff members, as well as gain familiarity and friendships with the same pack of dogs each week. Just like children, routine and consistency is key for dogs. We believe when they join us regularly it makes for a safer environment for everyone!

Once you’ve completed the new client form, our founder, Eric Bleile, will reach out to set up a meeting at your home. Eric will bring his dog to the meet and greet to get an idea of how your dog interacts with another dog, as well as review all services offered in person.

*During Covid-19, the meet and greets will be held outside. Eric will abide by social distancing standards and wear a mask at all times.

Either Eric or another Active Dog staff member meet with all new clients at their homes before starting services to make sure the client and dog are a good and safe fit for the company and our staff. We also will like go over everything in person and start a relationship with the new prospective client. Questions such as which door to go to for pickup and drop off, where does your dog sleep, how will we get into the house if no one is home, what veterinarian do you use, is your dog up to date on all vaccinations, do you have an electric fence and going over the Time To Pet software are a few examples of the questions and details covered in the meetings.

Yes, we are!
