Ashley Bowles- Hiking with your dog- Journal #1



This is a big task for your dog especially and also you as well.  Not all breeds of dogs can physically hike the trail.  Researching for the type of dog that best fits and best fits you is important.  Also the age of your dog is important, not too old or too young.  You need to be concerned about your dog’s health just as much as you are of yours.  A concern should be your dog’s paws.  They make little dog boots for your dog but you must train your dog to wear them.  You need to make sure your dog also follows your commands.  Make sure your dog is okay around people and other animals on the trail, due to the fact that you may see some on your hike.  You and your dog will be together all the time, make sure you both have a special connection and you must take care of your dog like you would take care of yourself.
