Welcome to Summit Pups

Building Confident Canines Through Dynamic, Wilderness Pack Adventures

  • Providing convenient pickup and drop off service to the local community for fun, structured off-leash pack adventures. We train familiarity around equipment like skis and mountain bikes and work on handling distractions in a wilderness setting. A great opportunity for pups to grow deeper bonds with new friends and gain confidence.

  • The pack adventures continue with an overnight stay in a mountain cabin with nearby hiking and swimming. We keep it laid back, catering to a wide range of dogs with varying exercise needs.

  • We can meet part way to pick up for daycare and more fun in the forest. This is a great way for puppies in training to stay consistent and well socialized within the program.

  • Our training focuses on building strong off-leash comfort for dog and owner in a wilderness setting. While we want them to be themselves on pack adventures, discipline is imperative. So we implement the necessary tools to build excellent recall, trust, and obedience using spaces with little to no traffic. Every dog is different, we can be creative finding what works for your pup.

  • Macken was great! He was super communicative and treated my dog as if it were his own. His property was great for my ever-exploring fur bud. Will definitely connect with him to watch my dog in the future.
