Welcome to Summit Pups

We Build Confident Canines Through Dynamic, Wilderness Pack Adventures

  • Providing convenient pickup and drop off service to the local community for fun, structured off-leash pack adventures. We train familiarity around equipment like skis and mountain bikes and work on handling distractions in a wilderness setting. A great opportunity for pups to grow deeper bonds with new friends and gain confidence.

  • The pack adventures continue with an overnight stay in a mountain cabin with nearby hiking and swimming. We keep it laid back, catering to a wide range of dogs with varying exercise needs.

  • We can meet part way to pick up for daycare and more fun in the forest. This is a great way for puppies in training to stay consistent and well socialized within the program.

  • Our training focuses on building strong off-leash comfort for dog and owner in a wilderness setting. While we want them to be themselves on pack adventures, discipline is imperative. So we implement the necessary tools to build excellent recall, trust, and obedience using spaces with little to no traffic. Every dog is different, we can be creative finding what works for your pup.

  • An extended stay for pup with an individualized daily training schedule that combines all aspects of the Summit Pups experience to build a well rounded, confident pup from the trails to the sidewalk.

Our Mission

“

Summit Pups Mission is to build confident canines using the natural environment and pack mentality to bring them back to their roots. We train our dogs to be well mannered at home and in the community but our true unique offering is training them  for outdoors adventures like  mountain biking, trail running, paddling and skiing.  While these off-leash multi sport pack adventures ahave become the staple offering, our new goal is to help owners and their dogs to safely bike, run, paddle or ski together. We want to teach and reinforce safe techniques for training your pup to be your best adventure companion.

Summit Pups is based near Roslyn and Cle Elum, Washington with access to beautiful mountains, rivers and lakes for your pups to learn and play.  My goal is to work with local dog professionals and others to make this community a special haven for dogs and their owners.

  • Macken was great! He was super communicative and treated my dog as if it were his own. His property was great for my ever-exploring fur bud. Will definitely connect with him to watch my dog in the future.

  • “ Macken the dog whisperer! So glad I found Macken on Rover! I needed last-minute help with my golden doodle, Bob, over Labor Day and Macken at Summit Pups totally came through. He took care of pick-up and drop-off, and Bob had the best day—running in the woods, splashing in the river, and making new dog buddies. He came back happy, and exhausted. After a quick rinse, Bob was out cold, snoring. Highly recommend Macken and will for sure book him again when I’m in Cle Elum!”
