Group Dog Hikes North of Boston – Social, Safe, and Fun

Give your dog more than just exercise — give them a safe, structured adventure with our small group dog hikes near the Middlesex Fells. Each 75-minute hike is designed to provide stimulating outdoor enrichment while encouraging positive social experiences with other dogs. With just 2–3 dogs per hike, we maintain one of the lowest dog-to-handler ratios in the area, ensuring close supervision, safe play, and plenty of personalized attention.

Group hikes are ideal for dogs who enjoy being with other dogs and have demonstrated strong reliability around distractions. Each hike is limited to just 2–3 dogs, one of the lowest dog-to-handler ratios in the area. This small group size allows us to provide close supervision, personalized support, and safe socialization in a controlled environment.

During the hikes, dogs have opportunities for socialization, play, and enrichment while practicing attention, recall, and leash manners. The goal is to create a space where dogs can have safe, positive experiences with other dogs, supporting independence and confidence while being guided with positive reinforcement techniques.
