1 Hour Group Hike 

Our group dog hiking service provides your dog the ability to escape the concrete and satisfy those canine lifestyle cravings!

Our one-hour trail hikes allow your dog ample time to run, chase, swim, sniff and play with their pals!

While it’s mostly fun and games, we are very serious about safety within our pack and respecting other trail-goers. We actively seek out balance between our play and our training! Our hikes include reinforcement training such as recall, sit stays around distractions, respecting other’s spaces, monitoring for appropriate play and never providing unwanted greetings to others on trail.

Group hiking adventures with Keen Paws of Sunapee provides physical, mental and social opportunities for your dog to decompress!

They are a perfect alternative to dogs who do not do well in a doggy daycare style environment. 

Pick up/drop off is included, depending on scheduling and dog’s locations, dogs can be out of the house from 1.5-3 hours.

No dog is “too small” to hike! We welcome all breeds and sizes to join our dog hiking adventures.

Solo Dog Hiking & Evaluations

*All new dogs* must complete a one-hour solo evaluation as their first step in the onboarding process.

Solo dog hikes are a great option for dogs rounding out their training or just prefer a one-on-one human-canine bond. Solo hikes also allow for play with your dogs favorite toys.

 

** Please Note: All potential new clients must complete a pre-requisite evaluation hike to determine eligibility for our group dog hiking service. Completion of an evaluation does not guarantee a position into our group dog hiking service and additional training may be required.

Group hiking is not a replacement for training, though it is a great supplemental reinforcement. Dogs may require future 1:1 training refreshers based off of current performance. All dog owners are encouraged to practice our trail protocol whenever hiking with their dog, failure to do so may require the need for training refreshers for their dog.

Please email jessica@keenpaws.com for more information and current availability.

While establishing our new packs in Sunapee, NH we will be utilizing public trails (which Jessica has done for 11 years) until our private trails on our farm are completed! To which, all groups will then be moved to a 100% private facility allowing us even more freedom, security and safety!
