So fetch K9 Adventures provides socialization and exercise for dogs of all ages and sizes. Our goal is to satisfy the instinctual needs that dogs have but do not always have an outlet for in their everyday lives. It is natural for a dog to need focused exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization with their canine counterparts. Our lifelong approach to dogs and their wellbeing sets up puppies for confidence and success, gives adult dogs an outlet for their energy, and provides seniors with a peaceful environment in which to socialize and exercise on their own accord.

Our adventures range from mock grooming days to prepare puppies for regular grooming and vet visits to five mile hikes on the Eno river for our high energy dogs. Every day is a little bit different and this keeps our puppies and dogs optimally socialized and mentally engaged. All puppies and dogs are integrated into a fully functioning pack and are able to learn dog rules from each other. All dogs in the adult programs have been selected for their demeanors, obedience, and social skills.
