Paw In Hand is now offering Small Dog Field Trips. All the goodness of our popular group dog walks but with a "small" difference! Small dogs need exercise, a chance to be out in nature and interact with other dog buddies too. Maren's dog Trixie is a small 10 pound Chihuahua/Yorki? cross and has taught her a lot about small dogs' needs. Occasionally a relaxed, friendly larger dog will be incorporated into the group to to help small dogs desensitize to larger dogs. As with all our interactions with dogs we carefully monitor their social body language signals which show their emotional state and help ensure everyone is comfortable.
We always consider your dogs’ safety in all our interactions and though there are inherent risks to off leash dog group activity they are minimized by careful observation, interception, behaviour modification and training. We reinforce desirable behaviours using praise, rewards and play. Long lines and bells are available for dogs not quite ready for full off leash freedom.

Happy Tails and Happy Trails!
Maren
