Sniffed & Approved
Parks, trails, patios, and day trips where Beau is genuinely welcome — plus the little tips that make each visit easier with a big, fluffy, extremely social Samoyed.
Calgary area, AB
Wide open space for full-speed Samoyed zoomies and casual pack socializing.
Beau's tip: Go early — Beau is an extrovert but the crowds are calmer before 9am and the grass is still cool.
Canmore, AB
Mountain-town streets, easy riverside paths, and lots of dog-friendly patios in one stop.
Beau's tip: Parking fills fast on weekends — arrive before 10am and pack a towel for muddy paws.
Cranbrook, BC
Where Beau was born — a sentimental road trip with quiet trails along the way.
Beau's tip: Break up the drive with a leg-stretch stop every 2 hours; Beau naps best after a sniff walk.
Alberta, various
Beau loves greeting people, so patio coffee stops are a highlight of his week.
Beau's tip: Ask for a water bowl and pick a spot along the railing so he can settle without blocking traffic.
Alberta, various
Dogs are welcome inside, and Beau treats the aisles like a sniffing museum.
Beau's tip: Combine it with an in-store pickup order for 10% off — see the Trail Tested page.
Bow River, AB
Perfect for a thick double coat on warm days — ankle-deep wading without strong current.
Beau's tip: Rinse and dry the undercoat properly afterward, or you'll be brushing tangles for days.
Kananaskis Country, AB
Tree cover keeps a white fluffy dog comfortable even on bright afternoons.
Beau's tip: Wildlife country — keep him leashed, carry bear spray, and check trail reports before heading out.
Waterton Lakes National Park, AB
Beau's favourite overlook — big views, cool breeze, and endless new smells.
Beau's tip: Dogs must stay on-leash in national parks. Bring extra water; shade is patchy on the ridge sections.
