What is Bark Trek?

First and foremost, we're a dog hiking company.

Our program is designed to take dogs from the Snohomish County area on weekly two-hour pack hikes with shuttle service to and from the client’s home.

We take the dogs in our van, complete with a secured, temperature controlled and crash-tested kennel set-up to keep them safe during the trip. Our packs go to private, unfenced, large acreage properties or hike together on unpopulated trails around the county.

GPS tracking collars and treats are provided for each dog. Pack sizes vary from 5-7 dogs in total, including 1-2 Bark Trek Brothers or Sisters to role model ideal play cues and hiking behaviors.

A Bark Trek offers your dog a unique social opportunity for exercise and decompression, accompanied with a professional dog trainer with an extensive background in pack dynamic analysis, group building, and canine communication.

We are by no means a dog bathing service, but pups do receive wipe downs with towels after the treks. We recommend that you be home for drop off, or that your dog has a kennel to go in after their romp to potentially minimize the mess after their outing. Puppies in the Pacific Northwest are partial to puddle playtime, after all. Did we mention we hike your dog in the rain so you don't have to?

A qualified Bark Trek candidate is an altered dog with no history of dog aggression, has reliable off leash recall and does well in vehicles and in crates. If this sounds like your dog, we're excited to meet your potential pack member!

"There is no way for me to explain to you the enormous benefit of the decompression walk. It will heal your dog, and it will heal you. You have to trust me and try it. "
