HIKE-A-BULLS
It is not just a walk in the park,
it is where friendships are made!
WHAT IS HIKE A BULLS? HIKE A BULLS is a SAFE, fun filled hourly hike/adventure of people and the dogs that they LOVE! It is great exercise and a time to bond with your dog. You will be in great company of many other dog lovers! In addition, you will have the guidance of our experienced dog trainers and handlers for support, obedience drills and dog care guidance.
ALL BREEDS OF DOG ARE WELCOME!
BIG OR SMALL WE HIKE WITH THEM ALL!
(Dogs on our recent HIKE A BULLS range from- pit bulls, malteses, great danes, chinese crested, american staffordshire terriers, and mixes of all types!)
WE ALL GET ALONG! FRIENDS TO THE END!
MANY BFF'S HAVE BEEN MADE ON OUR DOGGIE ADVENTURES!
**NEW!NEW!NEW!NEW!NEW!NEW!**
Obedience Drills before each HIKE A BULLS- also a question and answer session! BRING YOUR TREATS EACH WEEK!
FREE OBEDIENCE/TRAINING ADVICE!
Hike-a-bulls was started as a initiative to restore the image of the pit bull dog as well as an exciting way to increase socialization and exercise. Every breed of dog is welcome on our fun training trail hikes and adventures. HIKE A BULLS is a great social hour for dogs and their people.
Children are welcomed on hike a bulls. We do suggest having one family member to handle the dog and having a helper for small children. We must make sure we always teach children how to meet new dogs safely!
Each hike or doggie adventure is FREE but any donations are greatly appreciated. All proceeds go to bullies in need.

**IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS-HIKE A BULLS WOULD BE CANCELLED FOR THAT SUNDAY.** WE WOULD RESCHEDULE THAT LOCATION ON ANOTHER DATE. SEE OUR HIKE A BULL SCHEDULE BELOW
THE RULES:
The rules: All dogs must be dog friendly and non-leash reactive around other dogs. We strongly believe in positive dog to dog interactions.
All dogs must remain on LEASH! Not only is this a courtesy to other hikers/walkers on the adventures, it is the law! We also believe that off leash activity has a place and time- but just imagine if your dog spots a deer and takes off after it... this could be incredibly dangerous!
We must always follow each of the locations rules and regulations. We want to be welcomed back after all!
Your dog should be in good shape! Dogs are no different than people, please start off small and then work up to more strenuous hikes.
All dogs need to be up to date on vaccinations. Always safe guard your dog as well as other dogs in attendance! Please take into consideration flea season, intestinal parasites, ticks and other seasonal problems.
Hiking and exercising with your dog can be incredibly rewarding! You also get the additional bonus of having experienced dog trainers and handlers to help with obedience questions.
HIKE A BULLS IS FREE BUT WE ASK FOR A SUGGESTED DONATION FOR EACH HIKE/ADVENTURES:
$10.00 for each 1 hour hike
ALL PROCEEDS GO TO BULLIES IN NEED! HELP US, HELP THEM!
