Did you know!?

Most breeds need 60+ minutes of high intensity exercise per day! With most people having busy lives filled with work, kids, friends and family, there is little time left over for their furry friends. Owners are often full of guilt while their dogs are full of energy! The Crate Escape is here to make life a little bit easier. With convenient pick-up and drop-off service, and a fun filled mountain h

ike, you can rest easy knowing your dog is well cared for by professional experienced staff. Why we do what we do! The Crate Escape is passionate about dogs and their well-being! Here a few of the reasons:

*PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Hiking will help to keep your dog healthy and fit. Just like people, overweight dogs are more like to damage joints, bones and ligaments, to develop heart disease and even diabetes. An active lifestyle is important to your dogs health and can increase their life span by a couple of years.

*MENTAL HEALTH
A healthy dog isn't just physically fit, but mentally happy too. Bored dogs can develop cabin fever like symptoms such as depression, separation anxiety, aggression and obsessive behaviours. A group hike will give your dog a mental outlet by stimulating their senses and socializing with other dogs.

*SOCIALIZATION
Dogs are highly social and want to have friends just as people do. Your dog will socialize and play with other dogs off leash while hiking. This is a great opportunity to maintain social skills, read other dogs' body language and improve their own communication skills.

*TRAINING
Dogs were created for specific jobs and often feel frustrated without work. Training is incorporated into hiking adventures, giving your dog a sense of purpose, building confidence and providing mental stimulation.


**Hikes are not suited to all dogs. All dogs must be assessed before their first hike**

Welcome 2025!
We are excited to welcome of furry friends back after a couple weeks off for the holidays. And we have a huge announcement!

Today, April will be joining our team! 🥳
She is with us for the next 2 months to complete her internship hours as part of her education with the Medicine Hat College

Please join me in welcoming her to The Crate Escape!

About April:
I am so excited for the opportunity to be starting my dream career at The Crate Escape! I grew up with a love for animals  and knew I wanted to follow that passion; hopefully one day turning it into a career. After years of pet sitting and boarding experience, it was time to go to college and further my learning. I spent the last year and a half working toward my Service Dog and Canine Studies Management Diploma through Medicine Hat College. Now here I am, a graduate, beyond excited to bring my knowledge to work with you and your dogs!

Merry Christmas!

Popples went on her first outing since her surgery! She was was a perfect angel with the exception of when a life sized Grinch started moving and talking to her. She was horrified! We were equally surprised 😂
She met lots of people and was fed sooo many treats. She passed another dog in the store, got pets from kids and was a model adoptable 🥰

It’s been a few years since we last sponsored a family for Christmas and we’d like to get back to it.

If you would like to participate in sponsoring a family with us, we ask that you committed a dollar amount to the pot. Once we have a total, we can sponsor a family according to our Christmas budget 🥰.

Then we invite our donors to participate in an afternoon of shopping for our family, followed by gift wrapping and beverages at my place!

If you would like to participate, please email [email protected] and let us know how much you would like to contribute.
I’ll start by putting $150 in!
Please reply by Nov. 30th. Then we will get matched with a family and get their Christmas wishlist.
Group shopping will be scheduled for Dec.7th

Happy Holidays!

Conflict with dog hikers… Is usually caused by public, not the dog pro. We can do everything possible to set our dogs up for success and safety, and still fall short because people interfere or won’t give us just a few seconds to get the dogs attention. It would be perfectly reasonable to need a couple seconds to gather kids from free time. Can we not have that same level of understanding, especially when surprised on the trail? Our dog require pre-training before they join a pack. But that doesn’t make any dog perfect. They are family pets with personalities, not military robots. We go to secluded areas but over the last decade, there has been a significant increase in people exploring the unregulated forest, increasing the difficulties and risks of our job. Over the past few months, and also several instances through the last decade, we have been threatened and assaulted in situations that never needed to happen. Today a man who claims he lives around here tried to hit my dogs with a 6ft stick. He created conflict a couple weeks ago too. There is another man who has started a hiking business and informed us that he would be hiking our spot (of nearly 10 years). When I brought up the safety risks, he rejected conversation and had his clients attack me via social media and personal creepy emails. I once had a hunter watch my group walk past his quad in a lovely “With me” command. Instead of “Good dogs”, he chose to tell me that he had the right to shoot my dogs and that he could just say they were chasing wildlife. I ended up bushwacking to the backside of a lake called the police to safely get me back to the truck. I had another man on a dirt bike tell me I couldn’t be in the forest because of a fire ban 🤣…like his dirt bike was helping. He physically rammed me with his bike 3 times before riding away. The less aggressive and scary situations are usually really nice ladies walking their dogs, some who even intentionally try to fi

@pawsitforward Popples has turned a new leaf 👏 From highly reactive and a few doggy scuffles on her record to this sweet, bubbly and optimistic pup. She used to bark and grown excessively at both human and dogs who came to the house. Now she wags with hopefully anticipation of new friendships. At the beginning of her socialization with dogs, it wasn’t aggression but it was some weirdo energy. She wanted to pounce on top of, and just act really socially awkward which was a huge turn off to other dogs and has the potential to easily cause fights. While she hasn’t fully mastered her social skills, yet, she is well on her way to becoming a beloved doggy friend in our Dog School where all the doggies learn @thecanineway.
