FAQs
-
Dogs who venture with us should be ready for a fun day! Your dog should be physically fit to handle up to two hours on an all terrain trail, be dog and human friendly, as well as have excellent off leash recall!
Even though we use GPS collars dogs still need a solid recall - no exceptions
-
We need your Mutt up to date/titre tested on their:
DHPP
Rabies
We recommend these vaccinations as your pup will be in contact with many dogs and new environments, be sure to consult your veterinarian if you are considering the below as they are considered a non core vaccine:
Bordatella (Kennel Cough)
Leptospirosis
Lyme
We highly suggest putting your dog on flea and tick control.
-
Our Mutts need a flat collar with up to date ID! They will wear our SportDOG Brand GPS Trackers or Tractive Collar. New Mutts will wear a long line which will be attached to their flat collar. Training Collars are allowed, please note we are not responsible for lost or damaged equipment.
Muzzles are also permitted as long as they are a basket muzzle and not soft occlusion muzzle and are the proper size and circumference for your Mutt to have proper pant room. Ask us if you are not sure on muzzle sizing!
We do not allow harnesses, prong collars, or gentle leaders on our Mutts while they are off leash to prevent potential damage to the dogs as they play or getting hung up in the bush.

We have a 10:1 ratio with our adventure Mutts ~ the total number is determined by staffing available that day.
