Sniff. Climb. Crawl. Balance.

BarkVenture Experiences

Enrichment adventure trips for the canine explorer. Our off-site adventures offer mental stimulation, physical exercise, and social bonding through hiking, sniffing, and safe exploration with trained guides. Offered twice per week from 9am-1pm. Days vary.

Our BarkVentures offer curated enrichment adventures that connect dogs to their world and deepen their confidence. Using our SCCB framework, each outing is designed to stimulate the senses, reduce reactivity, and bring out your dog’s inner explorer.
Let your canine unleash their adventurous side on a curated enrichment journey designed to stimulate their body, mind, and senses. Each BarkVenture is a four-hour immersive experience focused on our SCCB framework—Sniff, Crawl, Climb, and Balance.

From nature trails to sensory zones, your dog will engage in confidence-building play, social exploration, and calming enrichment—all guided by trained Canine Coaches.

Transportation included: We’ll pick up and drop off your dog in our luxury Bark Buz, so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands from start to finish.

Adventure meets purpose. Confidence meets calm. This is more than a walk—it’s a BarkVenture.
