Who's Leading The Pack

I'm Matt — a San Lorenzo Valley local who has spent the last 4 years doing what I love most, exploring the outdoors with dogs. My passion for dogs goes back as far as I can remember and when I finally got the chance to work with them every day I never looked back. One dog became two, two became a pack, and somewhere along the trail I discovered that structured pack walks do something a solo walk simply can't — they fulfill dogs on a different level. Four years, countless trails, and one simple mission: give every dog in this pack the life they were built for.

Why Pack?

No matter how your day is structured — long commute, back to back meetings, kids to manage, or a home office that never really closes, or a disability holding you back — your dog's needs don't change. They need real movement. They need structure and clarity. They need to belong to something. A quick walk around the block or a few hours in the backyard can take the edge off but it was never built to fulfill a dog who was wired to move, explore nature, learn, and live in a pack.

What Is Pack?

Our pack walks are built differently. Every outing combines structured exercise, basic training reinforcement, and real socialization through local parks, trails, and state parks. Your dog moves with a group of vetted dogs, learns on the trail, and comes home calm, confident, and genuinely fulfilled — not just tired, but satisfied in the way only real adventure and structure can provide.

THE PACK

Structured Exercise -

Every walk is intentional

physical stimulation they were built for

Some days are focused on elevation gain and other days focused on moving at specific walking space

Basic Training -

Good behavior is reinforced on every single walk —

leash manners

social boundaries

Pack Socialization -

A small, carefully vetted group of dogs who know each other

Real bonds built over time

Spots Are Limited

BOARDING

familiar faces, familiar pack, familiar home.

Pack boarding is exclusively available to pack walk members — meaning your dog already knows where they're going, who they'll be with, and what to expect.
