Hiking safely and responsibly with your dog is a little more involved than just hopping out of the car and setting loose on a trail. This advice will get you ready to tackle the trail with your dog, and teach you how to be socially and environmentally conscious while hiking.

There are a few things to consider before you head out on the trail with your dog which will guarantee a safe, joyful trek.
