Why You'll Love It

As with our leash, Minca Field Guides are designed to get dog owners going quickly on their own while preparing them for the world of social interactions with their dog. Clear and concise learning sets everyone up for success.

Lightweight and durable construction makes bringing your Minca Field Guide on your hike, to your office, or wherever life with your dog takes you. Lacking a pocket or bag? Our e-books are just a few taps away

Each Minca Field Guide provides a simple tracking chart to track your dog's progress. This not only allows you to know what you did; it makes it possible for others to know what to do with your dog to take socialization to a new level.

Fundamental to socialization success are the rules of engaging with other dogs. Minca Field Guides set the tone for these interactions, so Minca Groups are working from the same foundation – even folks who are meeting for the first time.

“The guide is terrific! It is very easy to understand and follow.”
