Unleash the fun with our top-notch dog excursions and walks that turn every tail wag into a joy-filled adventure! Locations will vary depending on the size of the pack and the type of service, but will likely be a wooded hike, a trail run, a plunge at the beach, or a walk close to your neighborhood. We promise a pawsitive experience your furry friend won't forget!
GETTING STARTED
Meet & Greet:
Feel free to call, text George, or reach out to us to arrange a friendly meet & greet. We’ll gladly send over the necessary paperwork for you to fill out, and we'll also confirm that your dog is properly vaccinated so we can get started together. Your doggie will only play with our dogs, that have been screened (as yours will be).
We’ll come to your home to meet everyone, most importantly, the dog! We will evaluate your dog on social skills, responsiveness & temperament and answer any further questions you may have.
EXCURSIONS
Your dog will happily be away from home for roughly 2 to 2.5 hours, during which they'll enjoy over an hour of lively off-leash running, playful chasing, splashing happily in the water, and fun wrestling with friendly pups. It's a delightful adventure that keeps your furry friend active, social, and completely entertained!
Drinking Water & Treats:
We offer fresh, cold water and plenty of treats on every excursion.
Wet or Muddy Pups:
Fur babies who are allowed to go swimming or play in the mud are showered onsite guaranteeing that they will be clean by the time the return home.
Weather:
We go in ALL types of weather… however, if the road conditions are not good during a snowstorm or freezing rain, we will cancel. The safety of our staff and the doggies is always our primary concern.we would only cancel excursions if the safety of the dogs is in question.
We do recommend sweaters and coats for winter and rain coats for rainy days. (Please note that items of clothing will get dirty and could in a rare occasion, become damaged).
Pick-up Service:
We’ll take care of the pick-up, drop-off. No need for fur parents to be home. We’ll need an understanding of the “house rules” for a seamless pick-up and drop-off.
Service Areas:
Massachusetts: Southcoast area including New Bedford, Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Mattapoisett, Marion, Westport, Wareham, Acushnet, Freetown, Rochester, Somerset, and Swansea.
Vermont: Killington area including Stockbridge, Bethel, Bridgewater, Hancock, Pittsfield, Rochester, Sherburne.
HEALTH & SAFETY
GPS Collars:
For the safety of the fur babies, all dogs are equipped with GPS collars to keep track of any curious wanderings.
We also keep our excursions to a small group of dogs, in order for each dog to get the attention they need. However, if your doggie is an escape artist, Petagonia is probably not a good fit.
Temperament:
We are often asked, “Do the dogs get along?” “Are there ever any fights?” Yes, but for the most part, the dogs do get along, but even the best of friends can get on one another’s nerves. That said, we do not allow any dogs with aggressive tendencies. The dogs have to be able to travel together and enjoy each other’s company. If we do experience aggressive behavior with a particular dog, they will not be able to continue with our excursions.
Vaccines: It is necessary that all dogs are up to date on vaccines including Bordatella (Kennel Cough), Leptospirosis, and CIV (Flu). We want to keep all the doggies running full steam ahead! By requiring these additional vaccinations, we reduce the chance of spreading viruses among our pack. In addition to the required vaccinations we ask that all doggies have seen their Veterinarian within the past year. Proof of vaccination required before booking.
Ticks:
We want your dogs to get as much exercise as their little hearts can stand and stay safe while they run their tails off. Ticks thrive in the woods, brush, and shade. As always, please treat your dogs with a tick and flea treatment all months of the year, not just the warmer ones.
