Half Day & Full Day Adventure Hikes

Wagging tails and wiggling bums are a regular sight when we start our pick ups each day. Hiking and playing with our K9 pals out on the trails is such a rewarding experience!

All of the dogs are treated as if they were our own- with the greatest of care to ensure they are having a safe and fun time with us!

We keep the groups small for all of our hikes which allows us to make sure that everyone is playing well, having fun and not getting into anything they shouldn't!

We do all of our hiking in Whistler's beautiful backcountry, where the dogs are allowed to run and explore off leash without the dangers of nearby roads and in areas where our fun won't disrupt the general public.

  About Alpine Dogs Adventure Hikes:

 

With two walking groups each morning and afternoon, we are able to match dogs with the group best suited for their energy levels, play styles and age to ensure that everyone has a great time!

Please note: As we must get to know each dog and develop a relationship with them before they are allowed off leash, we are unable to accommodate out of town guests for one time outings. If you frequently visit Whistler, and would like to set up regular walks with us please feel free to call and discuss.

Private Training

Personalized Sessions

Need help with specific issues? Private training is a great way to address specific behavioral issues and sessions are personally tailored to suit your needs.

Sessions will take place either in your home, or in a public space, depending on the issues and goals we are working on.

Private training is also a great alternative to group classes if your schedule won't allow you to attend regular classes each week.
