Who we are
Let me introduce myself:
My name is Bandit and this here is my dad Blake, owner and operator of Ruff Trails Hiking!
We have been a team for almost 3 years now and Blake has designed his life to fully enrich mine.
Let me tell you a little about my dad:
Blake has been working with pups professionally since 2021, and in 2024 decided to fully focus on what he loves most, me and my friends! He has his Dog Safe certification as our safety is his #1 priority!
We get to explore and play in the great outdoors while being safely guided by Blake.
These hikes are designed to work on reinforcing good recall, good behaviours and trail etiquette to make times out with you even more enjoyable. These hikes aren’t only great fun but it's been proven that regular exercise, combined with group activity improves a dogs health, confidence, social skills and will help reduce us getting into mischief at home.
Can't wait to meet you and join us in our adventures!
