    What are dog hiking groups?

    What are dog hiking groups?

    Well… summer is supposed to be in full swing. I don’t know about where you live but up here in Alaska it is still cold and rainy almost every day. That doesn’t stop us hardy dog owners. We still get out and do group classes in the park on Saturdays and many of us are hitting the hiking trails with the bear spray firmly in hand. Those buggers are awake and roaming around.
    On today’s show we are going to talk about dog hiking groups and should you consider one. In fact, we have one here and it is a part of our Adventure Dog Club. You can head over to our website, Alaska dog works (dot) com, and check it out. On this episode, we give you tips on what to look for when researching dog hiking clubs in your area, what questions to ask, what to avoid, and how to prepare your dog for the hikes.
