What you'll do
Enjoy the true outdoors with an easy 1.5 mile private nature hike hosted by a pack of loose, well trained German Shepherd Dogs. The hike starts at our farm in coastal Maine and wanders through a network of trails winding through a natural wild Maine forest along streams and through meadows. You will be hiking with a large pack of (5 to 12) loose german shepherd dogs of various ages and they will be wanting to engage you to play and have you s or pet them. Along the walk, there will be wooden bridges over streams, soft forest trails, sometimes mud puddles and slippery footing. Throughout our adventure you will learn tips on hiking with a pack and the way they communicate and what their body language means. Once we return there will be bathroom facilities, snacks and beverages. We will also talk about how we raise and imprint our young shepherds and prepare them as family companions or for Show. Your hosts for the nature walk will be either Jennifer, Tony, Katie or all. We began offering pack walks at our open house for our German Shepherd Breeding program, and because of the enthusiasm and popularity, we decided to host this event through Airbnb. *PRIVATE TOURS CAN BE SCHEDULED*
This hike is a carefully selected pack of our own German Shepherds. We do not allow visiting dogs to join on the pack hike.

We have been raising German Shepherds for decades now here on our Maine coastal farm. Watching them grow up in a rural, natural setting has given us opportunity to decode a lot of their body language and nuance in their pack setting. It is fascinating to observe how the pack assigns the different positions to the individual dogs that establishes their pack position. We average caring for about 20 Shepherds most of the time, plus a few litters of puppies per year. We work very closely with our reproductive veterinarian to breed the very best German Shepherd a with solid temperament and healthy genetic make up. All of our German Shepherds are raised in our home, and go on forest hikes every day. They will be trustworthy, friendly, loyal, and will be happy to play with you while running free on the trail. *Private hikes can be scheduled.*

Wow! What a magical experience. We were treated to a delightful walk with 8 of the most beautiful dogs. Jennifer and Katie had such a deep love and understanding of the breed and their passion shined through. The property was gorgeous and it was so much fun to walk with the dogs and see them interact and run and play with each other. Highly recommend!

This was such an amazing experience for my boyfriend and me! Jennifer and her daughter were exceptional hosts who are very passionate about their dogs and their guests’ experience. The dogs were so much fun to walk the trails with and are very friendly/playful. Jennifer is so hospitable and welcoming, we can’t wait to come back sometime in the summer and share another experience here!

This is an amazing once in a lifetime experience!! We had a glorious day trekking through the woods with Jennifer, her son Zack and 9 of their playful and buoyant German Shepherds!! We hiked through several clearly marked trails and crossed over hand made bridges as the Shepherds led us down to a glistening stream! As the dogs are free to run and play - this experience made us feel like we were part of their family. Highly recommended!!!

Jennifer & her family are all extremely friendly and know so much about animals! The German Shepherds are full of life and it’s really contagious. They run around the trail taking occasional breaks to come up and say hello to the people they are leading. They are all trained better than any animal I have seen before, they never growl or snap at anyone. This is an amazing experience that words can’t do justice for. Sign up and see exactly how amazing this experience is!
