I need a dog friendly way to get rid of the snails. I hand pick as much as I can but it is not enough.My dog is frequently outside by herself, so I don't want her getting into anything harmful.
Suggested Project Book
beer, pour some in a shallow pan and place it where the snails and slugs are next morning...beer and snales
Snails do not like egg shells so wherever they are visiting, put down a layer of crushed shells.
Here are some good suggestions, but make sure you read them, some might not be good for your dog either.

Lol, I agreed with the beer and then saw your comment! Salt is the only think I know. I have the same problem in my back yard where I can not use chemicals either because of my dogs... mine is grubs, they dig up and eat.
Get a Duck, they love snails!
I had MALLARD DUCKS they sure LOVE SNAILS.!
I use something called SLUGGO.
When a snail's touches copper, they're electrocuted. Possibly, you can leave beer out during the evening and wrap the dish with copper wire. They'll get a double whammy.
Beer in a can or lid for them to climb into,put in gardens,flower beds,
Hi Chami, we have a whole bunch of fur babies too and it might sound silly but we have a few overturned flowerpots, with a stone placed under the rim to lift them up a bit, scattered around our garden. We check them every few days for snails. They like crawling inside. Grapefruit and orange halves work too. We also try watering our garden in the morning instead of the evening. Snails and slugs like moist conditions so by watering in the morning it gives the surface soil time to dry out by the evening when snails are most active.
