What are some tips for hiking with dogs

Sure! Here are three tips for hiking with your furry friend:

1. **Start Slow**: If your dog isn’t used to long hikes, start with shorter trails and gradually increase the distance. This helps them build stamina and keeps them from getting too tired too quickly.

2. **Pack the Essentials**: Bring plenty of water for both you and your dog, some snacks, and a first aid kit. Don’t forget poop bags—leave no trace, right? Also, consider bringing a leash and a harness for better control, especially in busy areas.
