Urban dogs. Wild Days.
Small-group adventures from Concrete to Creek, designed for enrichment, safety, and calm exploration.
What is Concrete to Creek
Concrete to Creek is a premium dog adventure service in NYC, offering structured nature excursions for city dogs.
Concrete to Creek takes NYC dogs from city streets to real trails with guided hikes and off-city adventures designed for healthy movement and better behavior. Our small-group and private outings prioritize safe logistics, steady leadership, and a high-quality experience from pickup to drop-off.
Our Outings
Each outing is a guided outdoor day with a clear plan, a steady pace, and time to decompress on better terrain than city sidewalks. We select routes based on space, trail conditions, and the kind of movement dogs actually benefit from. Groups stay small so every dog is managed, not merely supervised.
Our Services
Duo Hike
$300
A private full-day outing for just two dogs, designed for shared movement without the dynamics of a larger group. Structured pacing, clear management, and intentional off-leash moments when appropriate. Both dogs must book at the same time.
Small Group Adventure
$125
A full-day wilderness outing in a carefully managed small group, with planned routes, calm handling, and intentional off-leash moments when conditions support it. Dogs come home tired and settled, not overstimulated.
Solo Forest Trek
$450
A private full-day trek for dogs who do best one-on-one or need more structure than a group can offer. The pace is built around your dog, with calm handling in real environments.
THE EXPERIENCE

![Experience]()
Overview
This is a full day outside the city. Not a short outing, not a loop, not a rush.
We plan around the day we have: season, temperature, visibility, trail traffic, and the dogs in the vehicle.

Pickup and transport
We handle pickup and return. Dogs ride in a clean, secure, purpose-built setup designed for safety, comfort, and control. We provide safe loading and unloading and secure containment and separation as needed.

Adventure outside the city
We go beyond urban parks. Destinations are chosen deliberately and reassessed continuously based on weather, trail conditions, and group dynamics.

Group size caps
Groups are intentionally limited. Smaller groups allow for better management, better decisions, and calmer dogs.

Intentional off-leash moments
Off-leash freedom is offered selectively, not automatically. It depends on recall, conditions, and real-time assessment.

The return
Dogs return tired, settlement, ready to rest, and not overstimulated
“Concrete to Creek feels very different from other dog services we’ve used. Everything is calm, organized, and intentional, from the first walk to the group outing. You can tell a lot of thought goes into how dogs are grouped and how the day is paced. Our dog came home relaxed, not overstimulated, which mattered to us.”
- Sam , Prospect Heights“Our rescue, Luna, can be anxious and reactive, so I was nervous about trying group walks. Their team took the time to learn her triggers and ease her in. You can tell they’re trained professionals, not just dog lovers.”
- Derek, West Village“It’s not just a walk; it’s a full experience. Bear comes home calm, happy, and exhausted in the best way. They send great pictures, and every trip feels like a little story. We call it her school day.”
