Hiking with your dog should feel fun—not stressful
A great hike is mostly preparation: hydration, pacing, paw awareness, and a plan for breaks. Here’s a simple checklist for families who want to get outside more.
The trail checklist
- Fuel: feed normally; bring small rewards
- Hydration: water + a portable option
- Pacing: start shorter than you think
- Breaks: sniff time is recovery time
- Aftercare: check paws, offer calm rest
