DOg Walks
The Ultimate Adventure for your dog
Our walks are simply awesome—fun, adventurous hikes designed for active, social dogs who love being outdoors, exploring new trails, and running off-leash with their friends.
Under the close supervision of their loving dog walker, your pup will experience the benefits of a structured pack environment that fosters healthy social skills, good manners, reliable recall, and a lot of fun. They’ll get the freedom to run, sniff, explore, and play as part of a balanced, friendly pack.
For many dogs, the absolute best part of the week is when they head out for their adventure with The Bark Rangers!
Why North Shore Dogs (and their Owners) choose us:
True Off-Leash Trail Adventures: Off-leash hikes on rugged North Shore mountain trails, with stops to cool off and play in fresh water creeks.
Carefully Matched Packs: Walks with other non-aggressive, highly social and playful pups.
Safe, Air-Conditioned Transport: Dogs are transported in newer AC equipped vehicles, built out specifically for transporting dogs in a safe and comfortable manner.
A Dedicated, Independent Walker: No random sub-contractors or revolving door staff. Your dog gets the same loving, experienced dog walker every single time.
13+ Years of Expertise: Fully Pet First-Aid certified and Basic Training certified for total peace of mind on the trails.
Flexible & Convenient: Two daily time slots to fit your schedule, plus awesome photos and videos from every single hiking adventure.

Faqs
At what age can my puppy join the walks?
Young pups can join our adventures starting at 16 weeks of age, once they’ve received their third round of vaccinations.
Our pack is full of social, well-mannered dogs who are always welcoming to new members. We take extra care with puppies—using training leashes, GPS tracking collars, and positive reinforcement to build great recall and confidence on the trails.
Will different people be showing up to my home to do the walks?
No. It’s just us, Eric and Lucie.
We keep things simple and professional – it’s just us, dedicated to your dog.
Unlike the large north shore dog walking companies that rotate dozens of different walkers, including new hires, contractors and subcontractors, we do not operate that way. We know your dog and love them.
Are you Pet First-Aid Certified?
Yes!
Do you have a permit to dog walk on The North Shore and are you Bonded & Insured?
Yes, yes and yes!
Do you offer daycare or something similar?
We don’t offer traditional daycare at an indoor facility – instead, we provide double walks, our version of a day experience. Your dog spends 5–6 hours out with us, getting real exercise, fresh air, and proper stimulation.
Dogs come home very calm, tired & content.
How do we get started walking with you?
Prior to the first walk, we’ll schedule a quick meet-and-greet. We’re flexible to swing by most afternoons, evenings and throughout the weekend. It’s a quick meet to go over the service and make sure its a good fit for everyone.
From there, we’ll arrange a trial walk. In many cases, dogs are able to get started as soon as the next day.
