Frequently Asked Questions

There are five of us. Our years of experience with Mind of Dog range from fourteen to seven.
Do you take little dogs and puppies?
Sure do. While most of our dogs are medium sized and energetic, we also have chihuahuas and three month old puppies in our pack.
What do you do in inclement weather?
We hike longer in the cold, under tree cover in the heat, and at parks with large pavilions when it rains. Sometimes we like to reward our rainy day attendees with special adventures.

We provide baths and nail trimmings upon request.
