It began with a tiny spark.

Happy Dog Adventures began as a tiny spark, when I discovered that hiking with dogs was a pivotal part of my recovery from depression. Being in nature and experiencing the unbridled joy and curiosity of off-leash dogs was so healing for me that I started to wonder if I could build a business doing exactly that.

The more I healed, the more room I had to wonder and dream.

I began to recognize that the value of Happy Dog Adventures went far beyond a simple dog hike. My clients were finding that their relationships with their dogs improved, that their dogs listened better, and were happier, healthier, and more confident. Owners who were suddenly stuck at home with restless dogs during the pandemic quarantine had a way to give their dogs the adventure they craved, with off-leash hikes that fulfilled their instinctual needs to explore, play, and socialize with other pups.

now we're a family.

When I take on a new client, I am truly inviting them into the Happy Dog family. I’m not just building a dog-hiking business. I’m building a beautiful community, with joy, healing, and authenticity at its center.

In this family, we know that:

• it can all begin with a spark
• we can all find joy, meaning, and purpose in the world
• deep healing can happen, if we're willing
• wonder and curiosity can lead us to our next adventure
