01 — RECOGNITION
YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR DOG MORE.
YOUR WEEK DOESN'T ALLOW IT.
YOUR WEEK DOESN'T ALLOW IT.
It is not that you don't care. It is that the day fills up. Work, errands, calls, the thousand small things. By the time you look up it is evening again, and the walk is short again. A real day outdoors costs a car, hours of driving and a free Saturday, and those three rarely land on the same day.
Meanwhile they wait. By the door, on the same rug, for most of the day. Your dog wants a good day too: something to chase, somewhere new to smell, room to move. Dogs are pack animals built to cover ground, and a quiet day of waiting takes more out of them than most owners realise.
FORTY MINUTES OUT, THERE IS A WHOLE OTHER WORLD.
THEIR WORLD TODAY
Four walls and a door they cannot open
Most of the day indoors, most days of the week
Two or three short walks, always on a leash, always the same streets
Hours of quiet, and no one to run with
Off-leash usually means a fenced yard, often plastic turf instead of grass
You can take your coat off in summer. They cannot
In winter, salted and treated sidewalks underfoot
Parks mean leash rules, and lawns are often off limits
FORTY MINUTES FROM YOUR DOOR
Eight thousand acres and no walls at all
8,000+ acres of open state forest
Trails, creeks, ridgelines and open meadows
Good company for the whole day
Six hours outdoors to run, roam, climb and explore
Natural water for swimming and cooling off
New terrain, scents and discoveries on every trip
A tired dog by three, and a settled one by evening
YOUR DAY IS FULL. THEIRS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE EMPTY.
02 — HOW A DAY RUNS
NINE HOURS YOU DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT
From pickup to drop-off, the whole day is built around your dog: how far they run, when they rest, what they get to explore. For once, nothing has to fit around your schedule.
Door to door
State forest
All weather, year round
Home by early evening
01

MORNING PICKUP
We collect your dog at the arranged time and settle them into their own private cabin in the shuttle.
02

THE DRIVE OUT
Orthopedic mattresses, infrared recovery panels, calming music and soothing scents create a calm environment for the journey.
03
9:00 AM
INTO THE WILD
Forest, creeks and open meadows. Hours to run, swim, explore, sniff and play. Surrounded by nature and open space.
04
12:30 PM
REST & REFRESH
Time to slow down, rest and recharge. Clean water is always provided, with meals available by request.
05
1:00 PM
MORE TO EXPLORE
Back to the trails for more movement, play and discovery. Swimming when the weather allows, with seasonal activities through the year.
06
4:00 PM
RECOVERY & RETURN
After a full day outdoors, the pace slows. Time to settle into the recovery shuttle for a calm and comfortable journey home.
07
5:00 PM
HOME
Back home after a full day of movement and nature. Happy, tired and ready to relax.
GARMIN GPS FOR EXTRA PEACE OF MIND
PHOTO & VIDEO MOMENTS SO YOU CAN SHARE THE ADVENTURE
Times are approximate and shift with the season, the route, traffic and conditions on the day. Pickup and drop-off both run as a route, so your window depends on where you sit on it. We confirm your times the evening before and message you when we are ten minutes away.
The schedule moves. The order never does.
03 — THE SHUTTLE
THE RECOVERY SHUTTLE. PRIVATE CABINS ONLY.
New York and New Jersey set strict standards for transporting animals commercially. We spent nine months studying those standards and the operators already working here, then went to a specialist engineering firm and had the interior designed from scratch to meet them. Everything past that point was added for the dogs.

05 — OUR STORY
EVERY GREAT JOURNEY
BEGINS WITH LOVE.
BEGINS WITH LOVE.
For us, it began with a small dog named Amour. Ruslan was nine years old when he lost his
childhood companion to illness.
He kept asking the same question afterwards — why do dogs get so little time, and what
could he do about it when he was old enough. That question turned into a promise: when
life gave him the chance, he would build something that made dogs' days worth having.
Today the whole family is building Paws Impérial in honour of that promise. Ruslan,
Lidia, and our two children, Timur and Milana.
We believe every dog deserves more than an ordinary walk — freedom, open country, real
care and a day worth being tired from.
Thank you for trusting us with a small part of your dog's story.
— Ruslan, Lidia, Timur & Milana

10 — THE ALTERNATIVES
THREE OTHER WAYS TO FILL THE DAY.
AND WHAT EACH ONE ACTUALLY GIVES.
AND WHAT EACH ONE ACTUALLY GIVES.
Each of these solves a different problem, and for some dogs one of them is the right answer. Here is what each one gives, so you can decide.
DAYCARE
WHAT IT IS
Supervised indoor space, climate controlled, other dogs, group play.
WHAT IT ISN'T
Time outdoors. Four walls, a ceiling and air conditioning, all day.
BEST FOR
Dogs who want company and supervision more than exercise.
THE DOG PARK
WHAT IT IS
Free, close by, and off the leash.
WHAT IT ISN'T
Open ground. A fenced quarter-acre of plastic turf or concrete, shared with everyone who came that day.
BEST FOR
Twenty minutes on a weekday evening.
A DOG WALKER
WHAT IT IS
Someone who breaks up the day and takes your dog out.
WHAT IT ISN'T
Licensed transport, or much exertion. Twenty minutes on a leash, on pavement.
BEST FOR
The midday gap. Many of our clients use both.
A DAY OUT OF THE CITY
WHAT IT IS
A full day outdoors across thousands of acres of state forest. Picked up at your door, brought back home.
WHAT IT ISN'T
A break in the day. It is the whole day, outdoors and on the move.
BEST FOR
Dogs who need a real day out, and owners who have no day to spare.

Everything here is chosen with the same care we put into the trips. Some of it comes out in collections, made in limited runs that can sell out at any time.
