Life unleashed
Does your dog crave a little something “extra”?
With your busy work schedule, it can be hard to take your dog off the sidewalk and into the woods for that *extra* mental and physical enrichment that keeps dogs so healthy and happy. With our "Bark and Ride" taxi service, South Hound picks up your dog from your home, office, or hotel and transforms their daily potty break into an off-leash, outdoors adventure.
Your dog is chauffeured with a group of other canine cohorts to a privately owned wooded farmland where they then spend up to 2 hours playing with friends, investigating the acres of trails in the trees or just taking in the sights under the supervision of a trained professional "camp counselor" before being dried off and returned back home. Not only do dogs get to benefit from activity and socializing, basic doggy manners such as recall, "sit", and "wait/stay" are positively reinforced throughout their play (so pack their favorite treats)!

We're also available to chat by phone, text, email, Instagram, and more!
Experience the Difference
Off leash exploration while building social skills benefits both you and your pup, more so than your typical leashed walk can offer. South Hound picks up your pup and returns them home for less than what you pay for a walk around the block, for twice the adventure time and excitement!
Why Outside Matters:
More Than Just Play
1
Just as physical activity is imperative for their well being, mental stimulation keeps dogs happy and healthy. Simply sniffing and exploring new surroundings provides dogs with a workout for not only their body but mind as well!
Builds Confidence
Studies have proven that the more positive exposure dogs get to novel stimuli and experiences, the more confident and secure they become in everyday life! Confident and stable dogs show less destructive and or dangerous behaviors, are less fearful meeting new dogs and people, and have less anxiety than dogs who aren’t exposed to new surroundings in a positive manner.

Vitamin D
Your dogs extra time in the sun (and not just laying in the sunbeam of a window) gives the extra boost of vitamin D, vital for bone health and helps maintain the correct bone to phosphorus ratio in the body.
