STEP ONE Training class Super Stars!

These cute canines joined our STEP ONE classes in September and October. Some of them returned after having taken our PUPPY'S FIRST STEPS class and they were stars! The others quickly caught up one the skills too. They were ALL stars in their owners hearts! Any they earned Super Star certificates to put up on the fridge at home :0)

Welcome JENNA to the Paw In Hand team!

Hello all! Wuff!

Paw In Hand is excited to announce … Jenna MacBain has joined the Paw In Hand team!

Jenna brings with her a lifelong love of dogs... and of course a love of the outdoors ... and sharing them together. She has taken some training courses with her own dog "Juno" and is Canine First Aid certified. To find out more Jenna has written a note, see below.

Last week and this week Jenna is joining me on the daily field trip rounds and I’m really pleased with how well she interacts and manages the dogs. If we don't see you and your doggie in passing and you would like to meet Jenna, contact me and we will be happy to arrange a time to do this.

We both look forward to many happy trails together with your dogs! Thank you!

Arrrooooooo!

Hello my fellow animal lovers!

I’m thrilled that Maren has welcomed me to the Paw in Hand team as a dog walker! I’ve met some of your furry family members already and am looking forward to getting to know them all soon.

Dogs have always been a huge part of my life and it’s great to have work that allows me to be with them. Along with my certificate in K9 First aid, I have a background in fitness and holistic nutrition. I joined the Squamish community about one year ago, and my furry baby - a shy husky Sheppard named Juno - is a Mamma’s boy through and through. We've taken some training courses together and continue to learn about positive reinforcement relationship based training.

I’m so happy to be able to help your canine friend explore the beauty of this area with other dogs, and while helping me continue to learn the absolute best ways to keep everybody having a good time on the trails.

Woofs and Wags,
Jenna
