Through the Woods Dogventures

Through the woods Dogventures is a dog walking company for the more active or even just spoiled pups looking for an adventure.

I started this company to help owners with aggressive or separation anxiety dogs. Everyone wants to go home to a happy dog.

Starting May 20 through September 1st
Hikes/walks will be reserved as hourly blocks. Boarding/in home sitting will take priority. Please make other accommodations for daycare or boarding if your dates are unavailable. This is temporary accommodation to beat the heat and crowds.

Once summer hits, Walnut Lane field is typically unavailable for off leash playtime due to summer camps, family parties and various summer activities. There will be days that field time isn't feasible.

Once it becomes too hot; all walks will be an hour or pushed to safe walking times.

Please plan for access to your home if you will not be there for pickup/drop off. This can be a code, key or planned around your schedule. Include where you keep your dog's leash/harness. Pick up time is 15 to 30 minutes before hike.

Pack hiking offers dogs a range of physical, mental, and social benefits, including:

1. **Physical Exercise** – Helps maintain a healthy weight, builds endurance, and strengthens muscles and joints.

2. **Mental Stimulation** – New scents, sights, and terrain keep their minds engaged, reducing boredom and destructive behaviors.

3. **Socialization** – Improves their ability to interact with other dogs, reinforcing proper behavior and confidence in group settings.

4. **Improved Behavior** – Structured hikes with a pack help dogs learn discipline, impulse control, and how to follow a leader.

5. **Reduced Anxiety & Stress** – The combination of exercise and social bonding lowers stress levels and helps anxious dogs gain confidence.

6. **Strengthened Bond with Humans** – Working together in a pack reinforces trust and communication with the handler.

And yes that is Teddy trying to take down Rei.

Build your relationship first. Get to know your dog's temperament, likes, dislikes quirks and drives. Build up their trust in you and the obedience follows. Too many people have a dog who listens while leashed but never off leash. Nurture before Nature.

Recalls, boundaries and leave it are important for distractions and impulse with a dog you have a relationship with. No amount of treats or bribing will work on a scared dog or one who doesn't trust you. Too many people rush their dogs and go off emotions instead of going at your dog's pace.

Those well trained dogs who heel off leash? Those owners took time to bond with and train their dogs. If you learn how to fulfill your dog mentally and physically, you will have a friend for life.

There is nuance to everything but majority of people who have offleash dogs who have a wonderful recall without bribing(e collars, treats, toys) are those who have a strong relationship with their dog. Practice, structure, love and patience makes a great pet.

On that note, all dogs are leashed when requested, around traffic, horses or machinery. Be a responsible owner and set your dog up for success.

05/12/2024
