The Verdon Gorges is one of the most beautiful playgrounds for nature lovers... and their dogs too! With turquoise lakes, majestic cliffs, and shaded trails, Verdon offers countless experiences to share with your dog.
At 1 Vie 2 Chiens, I offer fun, enriching, and respectful canine leisure activities to discover the region in a different way while meeting your dog's physical, mental, and emotional needs.
Here is my top 5 activities to do with your dog in the Verdon Gorges:
1. Canoe-paddling on Lake Sainte-Croix.
Paddling with your dog at your feet, on turquoise water surrounded by mountains... a dream? No, it's an accessible reality! With 1 Vie 2 Chiens, you will learn to introduce your dog to paddleboarding gently, so that he becomes calm, confident, and ready to sail with you safely. By reservation or through our online training!
Benefits: building trust, proprioception, mental and physical exercise + guaranteed bonding!
2. The floating course: fun, water, and self-confidence
Created by me in 2019, the floating course is a unique water activity where your dog crosses tunnels and floating mats, jumps, swims, and has fun in a secure environment.
It's perfect for dogs that need to be desensitized to water, or who lack a bit of confidence. And above all... it’s super fun!
3. Canine walks in nature
Nothing beats a canine hike or walk, harness and leash at the waist, to explore the paths of Verdon in harmony with your dog. A gentle yet immersive activity that allows you to strengthen the bond, discover the region, and exercise together.
I regularly offer friendly outings to share these moments with other sociable humans and dogs.
4. Truffle hunting: scent, pleasure, and black gold!
Yes, even in the Verdon Gorges, you can introduce your dog to truffle hunting! Truffle hunting is an olfactory activity accessible to all, fulfilling your dog's need for utility and stimulating his natural intelligence.
Trained in a kind method, I will guide you through this beautiful adventure in the truffle fields... with passion!
5. Mantrailing: tracking at the heart of nature
Want to discover what your dog's scenting ability can do? Mantrailing, or searching for missing persons as a leisure activity, is an incredibly enriching experience that enhances concentration, autonomy, and confidence.
Each track is a shared mission... and a wonderful way to discover the trails of Verdon in a different way.
Bonus: much more than just an activity...
At 1 Vie 2 Chiens, I don’t just offer activities. I guide you in a respectful, caring, and joyful approach to create a true relationship of trust with your dog while enjoying the treasures of my region.
