“Long Walks and Wagging Tails!”

I've had dogs my entire life and can't imagine being without one! I grew up with a Siberian Husky, trained our next family dog (a black and tan coonhound), and have had my current dog, a doberman pinscher, since she was 8 weeks old. I worked professionally with dogs for 4 years, training, grooming and caring for hundreds of dogs of all different breeds. I am confident and experienced working with strong pullers, high energy dogs, older and special needs dogs and those with anxiety/triggers.

Dog Walking in Hood River

Hood River has long been known for its agricultural industries, tourism, and recreation, but has recently gained notoriety for its world-class windsurfing and kite-boarding. This Washington community is just north of Mt. Hood, and offers lots of parks and outdoor spaces for you and your adventurous pup. Furry members of this dog-friendly community are supported by five veterinarian clinics to keep them in tip top shape.

For a delightful afternoon, head to Marina Park, which features a nautical-themed playground, sports courts, and a sailing club, ensuring there is plenty of activities for the entire family. Fido will enjoy a leashed walk through the 10.5-acre park among the grassy open spaces and trees. Or take a trip to the largest park in Hood River, Jackson Park. Walk your dog through the lawns, or around the edge of the park among the trees to make one happy pup.

The Hood River Vineyards and Winery, the oldest winery on the Columbia Gorge, and the Analemma Wines and Vineyards invite you to stop in and visit their vineyards and tasting rooms. Your pup is welcome to join you in the outdoor seating while you enjoy the wines of the two vintners. Plan to make Hood River a stop on your next adventure in the Pacific Northwest.
