With a mix of both outdoor adventuring and behaviour training, we offer any dog a balanced, happy and fun experience.

Big hello to our awesome BareTracks community!

We have some exciting news to share with you all, Haley and I will be moving to Costa Rica next year! We are both being called to a new chapter in our lives that will challenge and help us grow more as individuals. This is truly a bittersweet moment.

We’ve been going strong in filling our lives with dogs for these past 10 years. Learning all we can from these incredible 4 legged teachers. They have taught us respect, how to live in the moment and certainly patience, all while they’ve filled our days with love and joy.

It’s quite remarkable to look back at the last decade and see all the dogs and beautiful people who have touched our lives in a profound way.

We are so proud to have had a 5 star customer rating for the last 10 years and to have also been awarded in “The Best Businesses in Canada 2022“ by the Canadian Business Review Board. All of this could not have been possible without the trust, support and loyalty from all of you wonderful humans!

We would like to find someone who is passionate, energetic and who loves dogs just as much as we do to continue to build the BarePaws/ BareTracks business. So that’s why we’re reaching out to you all. Who better to find our replacement? LOL

If you know anyone who has a desire to embark on a new adventure, hiking in nature with dogs, while being their own boss with very little overhead, please share with them the link below to our ad. We are flexible on the price and will train in our method of working with dogs so they are set up with everything they need.

Feel free to message us with any questions at all!

Thank you all again from the bottom of our hearts, I’m sure we’ll have a lot to talk about when we see each other in person.

🥹
Much love,

Haley, Will & Chilie

Awesome day at the hatchery, the pups were extra excited about the he smell of salmon in the air!

New lovebirds and sweet smiles 😊

The power line is one of our more challenging hikes, but it’s nothing the BareTracks Pack can’t handle 😎😎

09/26/2022

We love taking a quick rest stop in the heart of the hatchery, if you haven’t had a chance it’s definitely a must see!

09/24/2022

Pups enjoying a good rest at the pipeline bluffs!

Charlie Boy using Oakland’s tail as a wig. I think he’s going for that 80’s metal 🤘🏾 band look.🤣

Lets get hiking!! 🐕‍🦺 ⛰
We be up in the mountains, hiking with our beautiful pack and awesome team of humans.
This is how the hikes go, from pickup to drop off, your pups are taken care of, hiking with their friends and enjoying a drink all together to end off the day. They come home happy and tired with all their needs met because these walks challenge them physically and mentally; plus they gain great leash skills.
Happy hiking dogs for life!

09/23/2022

Great hike today, special treat to hike with Haley!

09/22/2022

This is the face of a pup (ms. Luna) who loves her hikes with BareTracks ❤️❤️ 🏔

Ready for some slow-mo pup faces?🤪🐶

The best greeting committee!

Ah sleepy time at the end of the day 😴 when the hard work is done and we can relax as a pack. So important for dogs to get to this level of trust and relaxation together, to balance out all of the excitement and play.

A snippet of play from the day 🐕

Everyone has their unique digging style 🐶 Let's examine shall we 😄 Benny uses the classic slow and steady method. Benji comes in with 'your hole looks better than my hole'. Penny sneaks in with the swipe-a-hole technique. We got Bree with the chill side digging style. And Tucker with the dramatic dig-and-drop method. Lol, good show pups! 👏🏽 😎😆

Run pups run!!

Our Story

BarePaws is different than most dog daycares. With a mix of both outdoor adventuring and behaviour training, we offer any dog a balanced, happy and fun experience. We truly get to know each dog, learning what they love and what motivates them, and through that we are able to give them exactly what they need. A normal day consists of supervised off-leash training on our 10 acre farm, practicing leash walking, and rest and relaxation time with the pack.
