About Us

ABOUT US


Shannon - Adventure Guide
I’m a Colorado native with a deep knowledge of hiking trails across the Front Range and into the mountains. I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society over the years and am trained in pet CPR and first aid, as well as caring for and walking injured and overweight dogs. My passion for animals, especially dogs, combined with my love for the outdoors means your pup will enjoy a fun, safe, and cuddly adventure every time!

Barks and Recreation Team
My team and I truly understand dogs and are excited to offer your pup an exhilarating hiking experience, whether privately or as part of a pack. Pack hiking not only boosts your dog’s confidence and happiness but also fosters strong bonds among the group.

We know that pet owners often have busy lives, making it challenging to find time to explore the beautiful surroundings our state has to offer. That’s where we come in! We can help alleviate any guilt you may feel when you can’t be there for your pet. Our team members are certified in pet CPR and have extensive experience in dog handling, ensuring that your pup enjoys every moment.

You can rest easy knowing we are fully insured and hold a certified dog-handling license. Your furry friend will be in great hands with us!

HIKING ADVENTURES


PACK HIKES!!!
We pick your pups up and spend 2-4 hours (depending on the pack size) traveling to and hiking at our destination. Water and treats are provided in this structured pack environment.
PRIVATE HIKES!!!
We pick your pups up and spend 2-4 hours (depending on the pack size) traveling to and hiking at our destination. Water and treats are provided in this structured private environment.
WALKS AND LET OUTS!!!

We’ll come to your home to take your dog for a customized walk tailored to their needs. This service is for unique outings that don't fit our regular pack or private hikes. Whether they need a stroll around the neighborhood, potty breaks, medication delivery, or a shorter walk, we can accommodate them. Our offerings and pricing take into account your specific circumstances, such as time constraints, post-surgery recovery, older dogs, and any weight concerns.

ATHLETIC RUN!!!

Your pup(s) will enjoy a 30-minute athletic run, either at a scenic hiking destination or around your neighborhood. This run is designed to keep your dog active and engaged, offering plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation. Along the way, your dog will be treated to water, with treats and cuddles waiting at the end to reward their effort. The run is customized to best suit your dog's needs, ensuring an experience tailored just for them. The group will consist of one to two dogs of similar size to guarantee a comfortable and enjoyable outing for everyone. If you have more than one dog, they must be from the same household to ensure compatibility and a smooth experience.
