What to expect After intro walk
We take great care in introducing new dogs to our pack hikes to ensure a smooth and positive experience for everyone. The process begins with a one-on-one intro walk, where we get to know your dog, observe their energy level, and see how they respond to the world around them.
If the intro walk goes well, your dog will be invited to join their first pack hike. During the ride to the hike, they’ll be safely separated from the other dogs but able to see and smell them, helping ease the transition. Once we arrive, the new dog is the last to exit the vehicle, and we head out on the trail right away. This approach allows the rest of the pack to naturally notice and greet the new member while we’re already in motion, keeping interactions calm and positive.
New dogs stay on-leash for their first few hikes as we assess their training, age, breed, and comfort level. Off-leash privileges are introduced gradually and only when your dog is ready. We’ll go over this entire process during your introductory meeting and walk, so you’ll know exactly what to expect
