TRAIL HIKE

DOG MEETS WILDERNESS

Exercise keeps dogs healthy…

Regular exercise is vital for dogs to maintain a healthy weight, strengthen their muscles, and improve their overall well-being.

Socialization prevents behavior issues…

Socialization is key to preventing behavioral issues and ensuring that dogs are well-adjusted around other animals and people.

Freedom satisfies instincts…

Freedom to roam and explore helps satisfy a dog's natural instincts and prevents boredom and destructive behavior.

Training fosters manners and safety…

Training is essential for fostering good manners, enhancing communication, and ensuring the safety of both the dog and those around them.

Join Zen Dog Trek for all these benefits in one…

Our daily hiking service at Zen Dog Trek offers the perfect solution to fulfill all these needs in one go. By joining our hikes, your dog will enjoy hours of exercise in the great outdoors, socialize with other friendly dogs, roam freely in safe and stimulating environments, and receive valuable training from our experienced guides.

TESTIMONIALS

“Jon and the Zen Dog team are terrific…

Our dog Cali loves her daily treks with her Zen Dog friends. The team is very attentive to details, very responsive, and really care about our puppy. The app they use is great and I always look forward to the daily photos they send us of Cali at play. The service is a great alternative to using doggy daycare at a drop off center.”

“I had the best experience…

I almost wish I wasn't moving so I could continue using them. Everyone I encountered was incredibly kind, reliable & trustworthy (all of which are very important when you're asking someone to take walk your precious pup AND come into your home daily when you're not there). I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!”

— Meredith from Google

“Couldn't be better…

We are thrilled with the services and have given their name to many others. They have worked with her and trained her and she is an amazing dog a good part of which is due to their services.”
