Hiking With Dogs Basics
Share
Hiking with dogs can be a great adventure when the trail, weather, distance, and pace fit your dog. A good hike starts before you leave home.
This article is part of the CyberMutz Dog Travel Adventure and Outdoor Life hub.
Hiking Basics
- Check trail rules before you go.
- Bring water and a bowl.
- Use a leash where required.
- Watch heat, cold, terrain, and distance.
- Check paws after the hike.
Match the Trail to the Dog
A young, fit, experienced dog may handle more than a puppy, senior, small dog, or dog new to trails.
Respect the Trail
Keep your dog under control, pack out waste, and give other hikers, dogs, and wildlife space.
