This is my reminder (to past, present or future clients) that dog training doesn’t stop just because our lessons together have 🥰
Training, or continued education, is ongoing in our furry companions, just like it is with humans! Continue learning, growing and having fun together - always 💚

Private Lessons 👇🏼

A little blast from the past 🐾🌲🚲⛺
From the 1980's (well, from the photos we could dig up at least) - until now.
And may we continue for many more years to come...

While it is great to take our dogs along on our holidays, it is important to note that it is only great if it works for EVERYONE involved; the dog, the human, and the other factors such as wildlife.

I just got back from five days on the remote West Coast wilderness — quiet, stunning, soul-filling. 🌅 ⛺️ We had an incredible time backpacking through sea wolf territory (yes, dogs had to stay home for this one - lucky Ivy had a great time with my husband!), caught sunsets and sunrises, and shared the trail with wolves, whales, other wildlife and one very friendly cabin dog 🐶 — from a tiny remote settlement with just three people still living there, part of a once-thriving Indigenous village.

We flew in and out on a float plane (the fog and wind thankfully didn’t stop our pro pilot!). I am so thankful to call B.C. home, and this trip was just another reminder of that - I hope everyone had a lovely long weekend and are ready for the week ahead!

Partners with your Dog. Side by Side, and Paw in Hand

Hi! I’m Maren, owner and head trainer at Paw in Hand.

I often hear murmurs of people referring to me as a dog whisperer, but I prefer the term dog listener!

Ever since I was a child I was always surrounded by dogs and could be found training our family boxer and the neighbours’ dogs too!

MODERN, DOG-FRIENDLY METHODS
