Stephanie was inspired to start Hand in Paw after volunteering at her local animal shelter. After meeting hundreds of dogs there and experiencing first-hand the physical and mental benefits of field trips to natural areas, she decided to bring that to the public. She volunteered as training assistant at shelter classes and continues to educate herself through self-study and consultations with behaviorists. Her background as a landscape designer and avid native plant enthusiast ensures her packs respect the trails and other users through positive enforcement of basic manners. As a one-woman business, HIP offers assurance that clients will always know who is walking their dog and has access to their homes.

In the early 90’s, a little stray dog and I happened upon each other and my life was forever changed… for the better. His name was Linus. Linus was one of those dogs that you see around and get jealous of their human for having such a well-trained dog. Not surprisingly, Linus was one in a million and none of my other dogs have been anywhere near as easy. In 2018 I adopted the most challenging (and wonderful!) dog that I’ve had yet. She has led me to dig deeply to learn how to be an effective dog parent. That learning has included many hours of volunteering at dog rescues, fostering dogs in my home, studying various training methods and helping friends and adoptive dog parents to learn how to connect with and enjoy living with their dogs. Let’s Go! East Bay Pack Walks is my way of sharing that knowledge with my clients and giving something back to those wonderful creatures that give us so much. We are about so much more than just exercise, we are about helping you, your family and your dog have the best experience together through regular exercise, training reinforcement and having one heck of a good time. Let’s Go!
Dogs will be dropped off tired anywhere from 1.5-2.5 hours later with a solid 60 minute hike or walk. Each pack will have up to 6 dogs. We typically do 2 hikes a day Monday- Friday.
