My story

Adventure that leaves dogs balanced, not wired

Many dogs spend their days indoors, under-stimulated and full of energy with nowhere to put it. A quick walk around the block rarely reaches the part of them that needs real movement, real scent, and real nature.

Shanti's Pack is different. Monday through Thursday, I gather a small, carefully matched group and head into the foothills for structured off-leash adventures. Dogs sniff, wade, climb, and practice gentle impulse control, and they come home settled instead of strung out.

Because the pack stays small, every dog is watched, guided, and kept safe.

What to expect

What a pack day looks like

1

Morning pickup

I collect your dog from home and introduce them calmly to the day's small group.

2

On the trail

We hike, sniff, wade, and practice easy impulse work in the foothills, always at the pack's pace.

3

Home and settled

Your dog returns pleasantly tired, regulated, and ready to rest.

Good to know

Pack hike questions

Do you require vaccinations?
Yes, dogs in the pack need to be up to date on core vaccinations for the safety of the whole group.
How do you match the groups?
I match dogs by temperament, energy, and play style, and I introduce new dogs slowly so everyone stays comfortable.
What if my dog has never hiked off-leash?
We start with a meet-and-greet and build up. Dogs who are new to the trail are welcome if they are social and healthy.
