We just adopted our wiener dog and was super super nervous about how he d be with strangers. Although he didn t have the best report card, Emma truly did everything in her power to make him feel comfortable. She was so communicative and made sure to keep me updated along the way and I couldn t have asked for a better walker for his first time! We have a lot more training to do, but Emma really took the stress away.

in Mission Viejo

Aliso Creek

It’s time to jump on the Rails to Trails line, this time right here in Mission Viejo. Aliso Creek Riding and Hiking Trail is the perfect place to explore the historic areas of the city. There are several trails to choose from, spanning more than 18 miles. Some offer a slight climb if you are looking for an adventure, while others are a relaxing stroll. You will need to keep your best pal on the leash for this experience, but all the barktacular views make it completely worth it. With so much to explore, your best pal will practically beg you to come back.

Tijeras Canyon

You will definitely want to meet up with your fur buddies at the puntastic La Paws Dog Park. It’s a furrtastic off-leash dog park that offers plenty of room to run and play. There are three separate areas for you to play in: one for small dogs, one for bigger dogs, and one for single owner dogs. The three acres ofer hilly areas for a sense of adventure. The flat areas are furfect for playing fetch with your human. The entire park is designed to be a low impact dog park, which means that it preserves the natural sources around it.

Riverside

Riverside is a 45-minute car ride from Mission Viejo, but it is well worth the trip. This is the home of Riverwalk Dog Park. You will find two fenced in areas just for your fur buddies to play in. One side offers a agility course where your rambunctious pal can show off all the tricks he knows. You can let your pawesome pal off his leash so he can feel the wind in his fur. The benches do lack consistent shade so be sure to bring extra water and some sunscreen to protect you from those dog days of California summer.

Brea

If you go 34 miles north of Mission Viejo, you will find a hidden gem. Carbon Canyon Regional Park is a 124-acre park that has many features to enjoy. Here you will find trails that wind through the nature preserves including coastal Redwood trees that have been left to grow naturally.There are a few developed areas that feature grassy flatland for you to toss a frisbee, play fetch, or just run around with your fur baby. You can even go fishing if you want to! There is so much to do that it makes the perfect day trip. Just remember to bring your leash.

Irvine

You will want to make the 14-mile trip from Mission Viejo to Central Bark Dog Park in Irvine. Here’s why: they offer you a huge main dog yard with plenty of room to run, fetch, and meet other dogs. The smaller separated area is designed for smaller dogs, older dogs, or dogs that would like to lie in the grass. You’ll find plenty of shaded sitting areas where you can watch Fido play and make new friends. This is an off-leash park, but your fury baby will need to wear his leash on the walk back to the car for the safety of everyone in the park.
