My weekend nature hikes are designed to help your dog decompress, sniff freely, and build true confidence away from city stress. ## Photos and videos - [Video: People often ask me why I believe so strongly in getting dogs out into nature. It’s simple. Nature provides mental stimulation through sniffing, a safe space to run free, and a calming environment that is especially helpful for anxious dogs.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/4fd3ccb9-3ece-4ae5-83e5-1afd87f49dbd) - [Video: After a good hike full of sniffing and exploring, this is the result.

We spend 3 to 4 hours on pre-scouted trails where I use long lines to work on recall and safe exploration. By allowing your dog to sniff and move at their own pace, we tap into their natural instincts for decompression and stress relief, which is often the biggest missing piece in city life. ### Why Nature Hikes? Many behavioural issues in dogs—like reactivity or leash pulling—stem from pent-up energy and a lack of mental stimulation. In the city, walks are often just about getting from point A to point B. On our hikes, we slow things down. Sniffing acts as a natural stress buster, and navigating uneven terrain builds body awareness and confidence in shy or anxious dogs. ### What Happens on a Trek? We meet early, usually around 06:30 AM, to head to safe, scenic trails like the outskirts near Muninagara Dam. Here is what we focus on: * **Structured Socialization:** We keep the group small—limited to 12 dogs—to ensure everyone has space. This creates a calm environment where dogs learn to exist peacefully near others without the pressure of a crowded park. * **Recall & Off-Leash Practice:** Using 15ft to 30ft long lines, I help you practice recall in a distraction-heavy, real-world setting. It is the perfect safe space for your dog to experience off-leash freedom. * **Water Play:** If the season permits, we visit water bodies for a supervised swim, which is excellent for low-impact exercise. ### Safety First I treat these as proper expeditions, not casual park visits. I scout every trail beforehand to audit for hazards, and I carry a canine first aid kit at all times. My role is to monitor body language throughout the session, preventing conflicts before they happen so you can focus on enjoying the morning with your pet. We wrap up with tea and biscuits for the humans, and I share candid photos of your dog having the time of their life. ## About Zoella Dog Training I'm Chaitra, and I run Zoella Dog Training. My own dog, Zoey, taught me that training isn't about rigid obedience, but about trust and shared adventures. I started these nature treks because I've seen firsthand how a little bit of wild space can transform a reactive or anxious dog into a calm companion.
