Adventure Club
Trail days that actually tire a dog out.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, Melanie picks up a small, screened group of up to 5 dogs and heads out on a Lake Country trail. Your dog comes home happy, muddy-pawed and ready to nap.
What it is
A morning on the trail, door to door
Door-to-door pickup
Melanie picks your dog up at home and brings them back — no drop-off line, no driving.
Small, screened groups
Up to 5 dogs, each met and matched for temperament before their first outing.
A new trail every week
Real Lake Country trails, so every outing smells, looks and feels new.
Pup cups & photos
A pup cup to celebrate a good day, plus photos from every outing.

You may also see these outings called "Adventure Days" in your portal — it's the same Adventure Club.
Who it's for
Is Adventure Club right for your dog?
- Healthy, social dogs who enjoy other dogs
- High-energy breeds who need more than a neighborhood walk
- Dogs whose families work weekdays and want a real outlet for them
- Dogs with reliable basic manners on leash (we'll talk it through at your meet & greet)
Not sure? That's what the meet & greet is for. Melanie will be honest about whether a group day or a one-on-one walk is the better fit.
Weather
Rain, cold or heat
- Cold days: please send warm winter gear. If it is too cold for a full trail outing, the hike becomes something gentler and more bearable for the dogs.
- Hot days: the hike is shortened or swapped for a water activity so nobody overheats.
- When conditions aren't favorable for outdoor time, we shift the adventure indoors to a private dog play area at The Downtown Dog Spot in Waukesha — we do our best not to cancel or reschedule.
- Severe weather or heavy rain: you choose a 1:1 home visit or enrichment session with Mel, a cancellation, or a reschedule.
- Whenever the plan changes, Mel tells you before the outing — never after.
