Hiking with your Dog — Safety
First of all, safety. When hiking with your dog there are many safety precautions that need to be taken. The first of which is to always pre-plan your route, this can prevent you from getting lost or ending up on an extremely long trek that you didn’t sign up for. It will also be highly important to send your pre-planned trek to somebody who you are not hiking with, a friend who can check up on you if need be. All you have to do is send them a picture of the route you plan on taking and stick to that route.
