River adventures since 2010
Our idea started in 2010 when we needed someone to walk our active dog, Ari. We couldn’t find anyone in the area who could accommodate a run or swim beyond our neighborhood. What do you do when there isn’t a service to meet your needs? Start your own company of course! We started this business for all the dogs like Ari and lots of other dogs too...we make it a point every day to get Ari out for an adventure so why not bring some K9 friends along.
We also realize many people don’t have the time, energy, or lifestyle to get their dogs out for a daily hike or river adventure. At eXtreme K9s, we believe well exercised dogs make better pets and promote calmer homes. Our pack-style romps will provide your dog both an eXtreme adventure and a social experience all in one session!
eXtreme K9s was born out of our love for the outdoors, exercise, and most of all our relationship with our best friends. We would like to share these ideas and experiences with the dogs in your household.

Pack Masters
Cori Preheim - Owner and Operator
I am a mountain girl through and through. I was born and raised in the Sierra Nevada Mountains above Fresno near Shaver Lake. As the youngest of 8 children, I grew up with dogs - lots of dogs. I am extremely active and love to run, hike, bike, ski, and Crossfit.
I began practicing with pack style romps on the river trails in 2010 before I opened. Eight years later, I have around 6,000 hours out with the dogs and I am more confident than ever leading our pack family safely each and every day.
Prior to opening Extreme K9s, my full time job was law enforcement until our daughter, Ohana, was born. Now I am raising our daughters, plural now, and ensuring your K9s get out for the exercise they need. I look forward to your dog joining our river adventures soon!
Mike
Pack master Mike is a Sacramento native who grew up on the American River Parkway exploring some of the areas we take the pack. He is an animal lover that didn’t have any pets as a kid and is making up for lost time. When not leading the pack or home dog sitting Mike and his dog Leeloo like to stay active and outdoors hiking, camping, backpacking and playing disc golf and basketball. He also runs an eBay store selling vintage and secondhand goods.
Mike has been with us for well over a year now and has become a dependable and safe pack leader. Mike also has a talent for Go Pro videos and has started to follow the dogs on a regular basis. I am thrilled to have pack master Mike on our team and I can't wait to see more of his awesome adventure clips in the future!
Ohana Re - (in training)
My 6 year old daughter comes out with the dogs from time to time. She is my river diva, dog walker extraordinaire, chief adventurer, collector of all things nature, and ruler of the dog run. She will collect sticks for the dogs to chase, tell them what to do, walk them, feed them, love them, and read to them at the house. I couldn't find a better partner to spend a morning at the river with and neither could your best friend.
Interesting river fact. The sandbar Ohana is walking on no longer exists here. It was moved down river about 1/4 mile during the high waters in 2016/2017. The dogs love everything about the sandbar.

Romi Lee - Mini Pack Master
Our red-headed baby. She is 3 now and very much in charge. Romi enjoys climbing into the dog crates and beds playing "house". The dogs are her "babies". While her sister tries to teach her the ways of the dog whisperer, she happily does her own thing. Romi knows all of the dogs by name and color. She particularly likes little Gracie, Janie, and as a side note a rabbit named "BunBun". Watch out for this one - she will take over one day!
