Adventure
Hike
Our Social Adventure Hike is our MOST POPULAR service where we take your dog for a fun-filled hike that gives your best pal freedom time to sniff, run, explore, and swim - satisfying all their instinctual needs in the backwoods of the Cowichan Valley! These hikes are for dogs who have excellent recall and obedience abilities as they are both on and off leash. While these outings are for dogs with a more advanced skill set, new members always remain on our long lines until trust is built, and with pet parent approval. During our hikes we always work recall and basic obedience commands to keep your dog’s abilities sharp.
Social Adventure Hikes include pick up, drop off, a quick body and paw wipe down, high quality single ingredient treats (with Pet Parent approval), and tons of love!
We hike in both rain or shine, so depending on the weather your furry friend could come home wet, dirty, or both. We recommend leaving a towel out for us to give them an additional wipe down before entering your home.
Length
Minimum 2 to 3+ hours, with roughly 1 hour and 30 minutes of hike time
Contact us for more detailed information including
schedule, rates, and intake process!

​
Please note - Adventure Hikes are only available for friendly and social dogs, with good recall. To ensure the safety of other dogs, the public, and ourselves, PawsActive Adventures cannot take dogs with aggressive tendencies on our Adventure Hikes.

Pet waste clean up and removal is an important service that helps keep your yard clean and safe for your family, and pets. Eliminating pet waste reduces the risk of disease transmission and helps maintain good pet hygiene. Pet waste can contain harmful bacteria, germs, and parasites that can pose a risk to an array of health issues, especially if you have young children who may be playing in the yard. Have family and friends coming over for the weekend? Avoid the guilt of having your favourite Aunt step in Scruffy's doo-doo.
