Our first RSH trip went out in January 2008 and we were all hooked! This program has been a great addition to the services that we offer for people and their dogs. We have experienced Instructors that will teach you responsible canine trail etiquette skills so you can be successful on public and back country trails.All of us at Paws & People are avid hikers and love taking groups out to our favorite locations. If you would like to join us please e-mail Nancy for more information
