Founder & Owner
I have owned dogs for as long as I can remember and hope to for the rest of my life! I have personally hiked with over 25,000 dogs, so your dog is in well-experienced hands! Dogs have always been and always will be a large part of my personal and professional life. My family and I also have three retrievers, Cammy, Rip and Onyx!
I started Active Dog in 2011 after the hedge fund I was working for closed and while attending graduate school at night. I’ve always enjoyed being outdoors and have always had dogs in my life. I found myself hiking all the time with my dog Tobias during the day at local parks and witnessed other people hiking with groups of dogs off leash. This inspired the idea and I ran with it!
Here’s a look at what’s happening on our nature hikes. We post photos and videos for every hike.
