Pack Hikes

Our trail hikes are structured, off-leash pack adventures designed to give dogs what they actually need: movement, socialization, and the freedom to explore in a safe, controlled environment. From shaded trails to open terrain, every outing is designed to challenge, fulfill, and reset your dog both physically and mentally.

Our trail hikes give dogs the exercise, socialization, and freedom to explore they need. From shaded trails to open terrain, every outing is built around safe adventure and plenty of time outdoors.

Client Love

We treat every dog like family. Here is a look at the experiences of our local pack members.

  • Eric is the epitome of EXCELLENCE! Eric has positively changed our lives: I never thought of my dog going on hikes with a pack. He loves it and he loves Eric, and now has a much fuller, healthier and happier life. Eric is so conscientious, knowledgeable and intuitively great with dogs. We completely TRUST him and are very grateful we found him. I give ERIC 5 STARS and BEYOND and HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.

    Rita B.

  • Eric is the best dog walker I've ever had! I would give Eric 100+ stars !!! He is the best!! He is always there for Presley & takes excellent care of Him, and is always willing to go the extra mile. He is the nicest person too! Presley loves Eric and always gets so excited when he sees him. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for a dog walker. I am grateful for Eric everyday!!!

    Stacey F.

    Presley's Mom

  • 5 stars and then some! Eric is top tier when it comes to service. Not only has our little nuggets behavior gotten better but she also is tired throughout the week. Eric does a great job with behavior corrections and knows what he is doing training wise. I’m grateful we found someone we can trust and feel comfortable with. Plus our Charlie girl loves him! Thanks for all that you do Eric!

  • Eric is seriously the best dog walker out there!!! My dog knows that Tuesdays and Thursdays are her pack walk days. She starts to get excited in the afternoon and waits by the door because she knows her pack is coming for her. It’s seriously the highlight of her week. Eric is patient, timely, and communicative. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for a dog walker in the LA area!

  • Eric is the absolute best. I’ve lived in 9 cities with my 12 year old dog and have hired multiple dog walkers. Eric is without question the best one we’ve found. He’s been taking my dog out on walks for almost a year. I’m so glad I found him. My dog is always ecstatic when Eric shows up. He never reacted to the doorbell before, now he bolts to the door all wiggly and happy. Eric is super responsive, reliable and always goes above and beyond.

    Katy R.

    ENZO’S MOM

  • Eric is incredible! My dog, Summit, absolutely loves him and can’t wait for his afternoon walks with Eric and his pack. Eric is kind, caring and attentive to all his dogs. I love that he keeps his groups relatively small to ensure all of his dogs are safe. I know I can rely on Eric. My family and I have been using Eric for over 2 years now and will continue to use him for years to come! We are SO happy we found him.

    Madeline A.

    Summit's Mom

  • Once VERY attached to her equally high-spirited and active hu-sister! Never thought we'd find a match for her! ERIC has been a learned canine life saver, trainer, behavioralist, discipliner, and the sharpest "point" to her day. Runs to door before he arrives. Exceptional care on every level!

  • Eric is the most trustworthy, thoughtful, reliable, and flexible dog walker you could ask for! My pup Leo grew to LOVE Eric and his pack of dogs. Many times I wasn't home when he had to do pick up or drop off, and I 100% trusted Eric with a key to my home. Finding a dog walker in a city as large as LA can be overwhelming. Look no further -- Eric is the best and I keep telling all my dog owning friends about his service! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Lizzie N.

    LEO's mom

  • We are so lucky to have found Eric! Eric is hands-down the best pet care professional we’ve ever hired. From day one, he’s treated our pup like family, showing up with energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for animals that you can feel. Our dog is literally obsessed with Eric, he waits by the door every day, tail wagging. It’s the highlight of his day. Eric always keeps their safety and joy at the forefront.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started. Still have questions? Give us a call.

Are the dogs off-leash on the trail?

Yes, where permitted and with owner approval, dogs with reliable recall may hike off-leash. We assess recall before any dog goes off-leash, and we keep dogs leashed until they are ready.

How many dogs are in each pack?

Pack size varies depending on the dogs, the route, and the day. Groups are kept small and matched by temperament, energy level, and play style.

What if my dog has never hiked before?

That’s completely fine. Many dogs start with us that way. Over time, they build confidence, learn from the other dogs, and become more comfortable on the trail.

Which trails do you hike?

We rotate between local trails throughout West LA and the Santa Monica Mountains based on the weather, trail conditions, and what works best for the pack.

Is my dog a good fit?

Every dog starts with a meet-and-greet so we can learn about their temperament, energy level, recall, and comfort around other dogs. Some dogs may simply not be the right fit for group adventures.
