What’s a Laika’s Landing Adventure?
At its core, Laika’s mission is simple: let dogs be dogs.
Each Laika’s Adventure takes vetted NYC pups into the wilderness, giving them space to explore, exercise, and express themselves to the fullest.
We meet our pet parents at select pickup points throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan, then safely transport their beloved pups to beautiful and remote off-leash areas across the tri-state region. Our pack adventures for about 4-5 hours, with a targeted return of 5pm - perfect timing for dinner and a cozy evening at home.
With decades of collective experience, the Laika’s team is prepared for anything. Every adventure is supported by advanced safety tools, including GPS collars, life jackets when needed, and plenty of snacks, water, and expert handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Each adventure includes a pre-vetted dog pack, thoughtfully planned and scouted routes, and door-to-door pickup & drop-off. Dogs enjoy a minimum 5-hour hike (up to an 8-hour day total), with ample water and healthy snacks along the way, plus a quick brush/wipe-down before heading home. You’ll also receive photos and videos from the day.
-
Safety is our top priority at Laika’s Landing. We’re fully insured, certified in dog first aid & CPR, and always carry a first aid kit. Dogs are carefully grouped into pre-vetted, vaccinated packs, transported with seatbelts, and taken only to thoroughly scouted, safe locations - with constant access to water and proper nutrition.
-
Dogs must be up-to-date on all vaccinations, friendly with people and other dogs, physically fit for extended outdoor activity, and have reliable recall for off-leash environments. We also recommend flea & tick prevention. If your dog isn’t quite there yet, we do offer training support to help them safely work up to group adventures.
-
Laika's dogs are taken off-leash in safe, controlled environments once they’ve demonstrated reliable recall and appropriate pack behavior. Otherwise, they remain on-leash.
-
We adventure in rain, shine, or snow, adjusting locations and intensity as needed to keep dogs safe and comfortable. In cases of extreme weather, hikes may be rescheduled.
-
We understand that things come up, but as we operate with limited spots, we kindly ask for at least 72 hours’ notice for cancellations. Cancellations within 72 hours are subject to a 50% charge.
