Fall 2024

Hello Pack Members!

 

As requested yearly, I need an updated pack member general information sheet filled out either via email or in-person. I will also need an updated shot and fecal sample showing your dog is clear and up to date for all hiking activities. Just a reminder that your dog being protected with vaccines/flea/tick/dewormer is not just for you pets safety but everyone else in the pack’s wellbeing.

Dogventures is a glorified dog walking and sitting service, but I started out and continue to work as anxiety Aggression trainer. I would like to continue my education and training. I would like to include more private time for my own two dogs. Dogventures should be viewed as boarding and Extra Walk or special event for weekly needs. Your dog needs rest periods between every intense activity. This is for their mental, physical and emotional health. I am happy to work with other dog walkers, trainers or dog daycares. I am willing and able to pick dogs up from boarding/daycare facilities.

This year will be slowing down for everyone’s sake. I am here to listen to your concerns, needs and wants.  Currently the struggle is the flow of pack mentality. Everyone plays nice but they have now formed a strong bond and are picky about who is allowed in. Not everyone is this strong about new pack members. For safety, daycare is for boarding only. Any signs of aggression within the pack that dog will be dropped off and canceled for the day.

 

All hikes and walks will be up to each individual group. Some groups will have distance and others will be more about time.

 

I want to apologize but all prices have gone up by 5 dollars. The price for any extra household dog is still 5$. I try to keep prices fair and the lowest possible.

 

1 hour walks- 30+5 per extra dog

Local walk. Your dog may be gone for up to 2 hours. This is a leashed event. Average distance is 3 miles

 

2 hour hike- (trail manners) 55+ 5 per extra dog

Nearest hiking destination. Your dog may be gone for up to 4 hours. This can be a leashed or off leash event. Average distance is 5.5 miles.

 

Boarding- 55 +25 per extra dog

Dogs staying in my home. I want to reiterate that while boarding your dog is rarely ever left alone. Literally with me 24/7. I will ask for special situations or request ahead of time if your dog must be left for more than an hour alone at my home with a roommate. I communicate and inform you with at least 2 weeks prior of your boarding date. I want to be sure you and your dog are comfortable and safe.

 

Emergency relief walks- 10.00

This is for a very quick pee break and water check. This is best for injured or senior pets.

 

I hope to be in the swing of things by the end of October. I will be accepting new Pack members until October 6th.After that I will not accept new dogs until September of 2025. I must add in travel time for any new clients or new routines. Once everyone has their routine in, I can add longer group hikes or individual walks.

 

Current blackout dates:

 

October 6th to the 16th- I will not be in area. Please find an alternative dog walker or daycare.

 

Thanksgiving and black Friday- boarding dogs only.

 

December 10th to 20th- 1 to 2 hour walks only. Private in-home sitting clients will have priority.

 

Please send your boarding requests for the holiday as soon as you know.

Excited to see everyone on the trails!

Alina with Rei and Charlie.
