I keep my pack hikes intentionally small—usually around 5 to 6 dogs—to ensure each pup gets plenty of individualized attention. If I have more than that (around 7–8), I split them into separate groups and take them at different times. I rotate between two main trails: Tanner Park, which has water access (great for hotter days), and Neffs Canyon, which is more secluded and shaded—perfect for cooler hikes, though I do take into account the terrain for our older pups.
