Hiking

During our hikes, we focus on positive reinforcement and consistent training to teach your dog good trail manners and basic commands. Hikes are offered as an add on service to daycare. Please review our requirements for daycare services and ensure your pup is up to date on DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies vaccines.

Our trail hikes are at least half an hour long and cover about 2 miles, providing ample opportunity for quality tree sniffing, boulder hopping, and space to reflect on the day. Added on to daycare or boarding services to add some extra enrichment.

Adventure Hike $35/dog

Add on an adventure to your dogs daycare or boarding stay. Our Adventure Hikes are renowned for their challenging routes. These hikes span 3-5 miles across some of the most scenic trails in the East Bay. We suggest that only large breeds join us as we maintain a brisk pace to exhaust our high-energy dogs.

Workindoggz strives to create a positive experience for our campers and their families. We are proud to treat our pack like family. For this reason we have a screening process for our daycare and hiking services to ensure we're the best fit for your pet. After submitting an inquiry request, if your pup seems like good fit we will reach out to schedule a meet and greet. The process can take an estimated 2-3 weeks.
