What We Offer

Off Leash Hiking Adventures

OUR WAITLIST IS CURRENTLY CLOSED DUE TO INDUSTRY WIDE STAFFING SHORTAGES. CLICK HERE IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN JOINING OUR TEAM AS A DOG HIKER!

Since 2006, we have been leading small group off leash hiking adventures as a more active alternative to traditional dog walking.

Our hikes allow your dog:

  • freedom to run, play, sniff and explore

  • socialization and reinforcement of proper social skills

  • decompression and stress relief

  • the opportunity to experience life the way nature intended

  • returning home a happy, fulfilled pup.

Hikes are available to pups in Cambridge, Arlington, Boston (Charlestown, West End, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, South End, Fenway), and Brookline (east of Washington Square)

Positive Dog Training

Adventures in Adolescence - Coming Summer 2024

We get so many inquiries from clients struggling to manage, tire, and fulfill their willful adolescent pups. This can be both a challenging but fun life stage, and a time when pet parents can use a supportive community to get through.

We love a rambunctious teenager and are excited to offer a comprehensive, nature-based blended training program tailored just for them!

Beauty is in Diversity

A Dog's Life operates to better the lives of our team members, pets, pet parents, and the wider community. Our mission statement is: to help pups and their people live their best lives; exploring, connecting and finding peace through nature. Our love for all pets does not stop with the animals; it extends to each and every pet parent we serve as well as all whom call Boston “home.” Please know that we are committed to providing a company culture in which employees and clients are treated with dignity, decency, and respect and know they are seen, heard, and safe.

There is no place for racism or discrimination in our world or within our beautifully diverse community. We cannot and will not stay silent when so many of our brothers and sisters are hurting. It is our hope that, together, we can move forward with love, kindness, leadership, understanding, and change.
