Hiking with your dog can be a joyous and rewarding experience for both of you. It’s a chance to bond, get some exercise, and enjoy nature together. But before you hit the trails, there are some important do’s and don’ts to consider ensuring both you and your canine companion have the best time possible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Before you set out, make sure dogs are allowed on the trail and understand the specific rules, such as leash requirements.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Just like people, dogs need to be in good physical shape to handle long hikes. Start with short hikes<\/a> and gradually increase the distance as your dog becomes more fit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Bring plenty of water for both you and your dog, a collapsible bowl, doggy bags for waste, and some treats. Don’t forget a first-aid kit<\/a> that includes items for your dog.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Even if your dog is well-behaved, keeping them on a leash is safer for wildlife, other hikers, and your pet. It also helps you control your dog if you encounter dangers such as snakes or steep drops.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Your dog will appreciate regular rest stops for water and snacks, especially on warmer days or more challenging trails.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
