Currently offered on MDI only. Purchasing this package will get you 8 Adventure School sessions. These must be used within 60 days of purchase.

Adventure school is the BEST way to break up the day for your dogs who need more exercise, mental stimulation, and one-on-one training. We take full advantage of the beautiful island by visiting different trails, beaches, and mountains. We will play, hike, swim, run and train during our sessions: bringing your dog home tired, enriched, and happy. This is a great way to exercise your dog without creating the adrenaline junky that can sometimes happen with daycare or other high arousal activities.

These are one on one sessions so your dog will not be competing for time or attention. Even better? You will have a professional, insured dog trainer with them, who will help continue your dog’s training in real world scenarios. We'll pick your dog up, drop them off at the end of the session, and there's no need for you to be home!
