Forest Paws Foundation

Forest Paws Dog Pack was founded on the basis of fun, outdoor adventures, and relaxation.
The drive beneath all these aspects is to enhance the lives of dogs and the lives of their humans- that's you!

How We Hike

Forest Paws Dog Pack runs structured off-leash hikes with a pack of furry friends to engage the dog's senses while honing and improving the abilities they already have.
Aspects of the day include learning relaxation, improving recall, mental stimulation in the form of engaged play and exploration, and learning how to be part of a pack.
My goal is to bring your pup home tired, fulfilled, and relaxed. And you enjoy your relaxed pup knowing they've had a one-of-a-kind adventure!

A Day in the Life

Discover structured adventures for your dog based in relaxation, training, and socialization.

Off-Leash Freedom

Engaging in the world with freedom allows the dog's personality to shine through. They get to show everyone who they are! And they get to make their own choices! Who do they want to be for themselves, their pack, and their pawrents?

Free Pick Up and Drop Off

Enjoy complimentary pickup and drop-off, saving time, money, and making your mornings and afternoons hassle-free

The Great Adventure is Your Peace of Mind

Keep your mental health and your heart in check by knowing your pup is enjoying the perks of four legs, a tail, sensitive ears, and a nose to smell for days! Not to mention coming home grateful to you and ready to snuggle!

Shaping Behavior

Forest Paws Dog Pack is not a place to go crazy and be overstimulated. Our focus is having safe fun from a state of relaxation and peace. Out at camp we teach your pup to relax and make decisions for their greatest benefit. This leads to easier times for you at home and when you're out in the world together

Your Dog's a Dog

Having freedom to be, your dog can encounter new experiences that challenge them and help them grow. Your dog gets to come home to you as more of themselves, which means more fun, more quirky experiences, and more special moments shared between you two

Hi, I'm Madeline

I'm the owner and hike leader of Forest Paws Dog Pack! My desire for this work sits within my unconditional love for animals, my love for the outdoors, and staying physically, mentally, and spiritually engaged.

One of my favorite moments in life is experiencing the true connection between a dog and myself.
And I know my animal lovers and pawrents know what I'm talking about!

Mixing my loves together has led me here to you and Forest Paws Dog Pack.
From the deep peace of nature to the rough and rowdy of the unpredictable outdoors, I am looking forward to taking us all on an adventure to reach our potential, thrive, and experience harmony.

I am so excited to work with your pup to create experiences that benefit us all by bringing us closer to ourselves and closer to each other.

I'm so excited to meet you and your beloved companion!

Who's Ready for Camp?

Dog Camp is not a regular day care. We are out in the elements and off-leash, which requires a certain set of skills that each dog must already possess.

Dogs over 2 years old - this is to protect their growth plates

Dogs that are reliable off-leash with good recall - this is to ensure safety for everyone on the adventure

Dogs who are friendly and want to expand who they know - so everyone can have fun!

They must do well in the car - this is the transport to the fun!

Dogs must be spayed/neutered
