I just wanted to send a note to thank you guys for an awesome summer of paddling adventures. I've never been camping or canoeing before and I've absolutely loved every trip I've been on with you, it's so great to be able to share the experience with my dog. Colleen more>

 

For our American Friends


Canada is known throughout the world for several things…Maple syrup, Hockey, 'Eh'… and snow. Most Canadians, however, often find it difficult to get out and fully experience the different activities our winters have to offer.

Dog Paddling Adventures is committed to getting out and enjoying the quiet beauty of a bug free winter vacation where more snow is actually a good thing!

 

 

 

 

Skijoring and kick sledding are the mainstays of our winter program, and are the perfect activities to get you and your dog working together. Cross-country skiing becomes Skijoring when you add a harness to you

and one to your dog(s), and complete the sled team with a shock absorbing rope to connect you and your pup! We begin at the very beginning, and ensure that everyone feels safe and ready before heading out. As well, a quick release buckle right at your fingertips will make sure that if your pup sees a squirrel and decides to play chase, you can quickly release yourself instead of going along for the chase! We provide all the gear you will need to have a great day of learning and fun in the snow. MUSH!!

All Dog Paddling Adventures include delicious meals, all ski, skijoring, snowshoeing and kick sledding equipment for both people and dogs, and services and instruction of a wilderness guide. No previous experience required.

COPELAND FOREST


The Copeland Forest is one of the loveliest forests in Southern Ontario. It is super in fall as it is full of lush undergrowth, towering old pines, unusual wildflowers and ferns and, hectares of maples, oaks, beeches,
birches and evergreens. These trails are ideal for a beginner hiker, or just for a hiker who hasn't been in a while and needs to limber up and get the old hiking legs in shape.
The route offers fewer hills with a flatter forest landscape. Perfect location for a Winter hike!

With our dogs in the lead, we will explore and learn the morning away before 'wolfing' down a hearty, hot lunch. On the trail home, our pups will blaze the way as we perfect our skijoring skills!
No cross country skiiing or skijoring experience necessary!
