Doggie Day Care Yellow Point Adventure Hikes
Coastal Mountain K9 is an Dog Adventure Training service offering off leash hikes for pups of all size and age. Our adventure hikes are structured off-leash pack hikes where fun, exercise, training and socialization all go hand in hand. Because domestic dogs descend from wolves, who are highly social animals that roam together in packs, dogs still have the same instinct. Walking in a balanced pack forms positive relationships in dogs, more than most other forms of socialization, and allows the dogs to teach each other positive behaviours under supervision of an experienced pack leader. They also learn to practice recall, self-control, develop social intelligence and listen to the leader all while out enjoying Nanaimo’s wilderness. These skills transfer over to a better behaved, more relaxed dog with less training.
We pick up your dog from your home and take them out on a 1.5 hour adventure where they will enjoy exploring Nanaimo’s coast, mountains, wilderness and rivers with our experienced, DogSafe certified pack leader. Once our adventure is over, your satisfied pup will be returned home, towel-dried and ready for a snooze.
Our pack hikes teach your dog the most important skills they can learn when off leash dog walking: recall, appropriate socialization with companionship, trust and respect while and co-existing with other dogs, or in other words “to be one with the pack,” working their brain, as well as their body. They learn how to stay focused and control themselves even in the presence of distractions. The first steps we take to accomplish off leash dog walking is long line training, working hard on recall and teaching them to follow instructions from a professional pack leader.
