Tell us a little about yourself and your dog. We'll reach out before we open to the public.

THE EXPERIENCE

Adventure in three simple steps

01

We Pick Up

The adventure bus picks up your dog at your door and heads to a private farm in Minnetrista.

Your dog's adventure starts at your door and ends with a very good nap.

02

They Play

Off-leash on a working farm — running, exploring, and sniffing with their crew in a fully fenced space all their own.

03

We Return

We bring your dog home tired and happy, ready for a nap. The door-to-door adventure lasts 2.5–3 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We're optimizing our launch routes to serve as many members as possible. Submit the Early Access form and we'll confirm availability.

  • We have a morning and afternoon run determined by neighborhood. We start our first run at 9:00 AM - home by ~ noon. Our second run begins at 12:30 PM - home by ~ 3:30.

  • No. We understand busy schedules — that's part of why this works so well. A lockbox or keypad code is all we need. We'll handle the rest.

  • Your dog will be with us for ~2.5-3 hours. The bus ride is all part of the experience, along with about an hour of play time off-leash. Dogs dedicate roughly 40% of their brain to processing smell. Every new scent on the ride — other dogs, farm country air, is genuine cognitive work. Studies show 20 minutes of active sniffing is the mental equivalent of an hour of physical exercise. (source: bit.ly/dogsniff).

  • Safety is built into every part of the experience. Every dog completes a temperament assessment before joining the group, and dogs are matched by size and play style — never just thrown together. All dogs on the bus must be current on core vaccinations. Each run has two staff on board: one drives, one is dedicated to the dogs. Your dog rides secured in a harness, clipped in for the journey.

  • On extreme weather days, we will adjust activities and timing to ensure your dog's comfort and safety. We have access to a fully covered and heated pole barn for rainy and extreme cold days. The fenced in property has access to shade and a hose to keep the dogs cool.

  • Adventure comes with a little dirt — that's how you know it was a good day. We towel dry and rinse muddy paws before drop-off, so your dog arrives home happy, not messy.

  • All dogs must be current on rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella. We require proof of vaccination before the first adventure. Spay/neuter is required for dogs over 9 months old.
