“From the start, Shelby was incredibly accommodating with my puppy, Roxy. She made every effort to ensure my sometimes-carsick girl was comfortable and secure in her truck as she drove us off-road to the various trails. She provided tips on how to safely hike with Roxy, ensuring I knew the proper commands to use, when to put Roxy behind us, and emphasizing the importance of giving my developing puppy a great experience.”
“I learned so much about backpacking, trekking, and ways to increase my endurance that I know my future backpacking adventures will be more enjoyable. Shelby is a walking encyclopedia of nature and wildlife and that made the experience that much more fun.”
