Pack Hikes
Send your pup out on weekly off leash adventures...
We started this little adventure to provide a safe, fun energy outlet for the dogs in our care and it flourished into a program all it's own! We offer daily 1-1.5 hour pack hikes Monday-Friday on our private property - this ensures that we will not be disturbed by unknown dogs or people! The packs consist of a maximum of 8 dogs each, all of whom have been personally approved by The Canine Hub Team. We require a weekly commitment of minimum 1 hike/week, with the possibility of adding additional drop in options once your dog has been established. We do this so each pack is carefully curated for best dynamic success - dogs are paired and matched with age, size and energy levels in mind. These hikes are off leash, so a reliable, one-call recall is essential.

Hi, I’m Chantel, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I absolutely love dogs.
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had a deep love for animals—especially dogs. I started volunteering at the Shuswap SPCA when I was just 9 years old and continued for many years. In that time convinced my parents to adopt two of our own dogs. That experience really sparked my passion for working with animals and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and connection.
I grew up with two beloved family dogs and got my own dog Ranger a Rottweiler at 19. Before he came into my life I didn’t fully understand what unconditional love was, he changed my life for the better and made me want to pursue my dream of working with dogs.
My life pretty much revolves around my own dog Scout, a Border Collie, Maremma. I take him everywhere with me. He’ll be joining me on pack hikes!
As a Pack Hike Leader, I love spending my days outdoors with the dogs, making sure they’re having fun, staying safe, and enjoying the adventure.
When I’m not out on the trail with the pack, you’ll usually find me outside doing something active. I love camping, hiking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, paddle boarding, kayaking, and fishing—especially when I can share those moments with my dog by my side.
