S.F. East Bay - Referral Directory

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.
