Dog Transportation + Structured Pack Hike
The Paw Bus picks up your dog directly from your home in our secure, customized transport vehicle and heads to carefully selected hiking locations in the Ottawa area.
Dogs participate in structured group hikes focused on safe pack dynamics, leadership, and positive socialization. Each hike provides both physical exercise and mental enrichment in a balanced outdoor setting.
Hiking time typically lasts 60–90 minutes, depending on the group and location.
After their adventure, your dog is safely transported home — calmer, fulfilled, and happily tired.
All members receive a brief recap of their dog’s day.
$50 per ride
No membership required
