Title: Hiking with Dogs: Becoming a Wilderness-Wise Dog Owner by Linda Mullally ISBN: 1-56044-817-2 Publisher: Falcon Pub. Date: 01 May, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $6.95 |

Summary: Not Recommended for the Serious Backpacker
Comment: I wouldn't recommend this book for the experienced backpacker or experienced dog owner. The author of the book writes regularly for Dog Fancy... fine publication I am sure, but neither myself nor my dog are particularly fancy. The information is overly broad (though I don't know what I expected for the price) and is not really applicable for anything other than the casual weekend trip or car-camp.
If you are anything resembling a regular backcountry traveler who enjoys the companionship and security of your mongrel and are looking practical tips on how to keep your dog healthy, safe and happy on the trail, look at other publications.
If you have a monthly subscription to Dog Fancy and a collection of brand new backpacking gear, this might just be the book for you.

Summary: Not just "a walk in the park"
Comment: I think, above all, one thing that dog owners must admit to themselves is that you do not know it all. Just because a dog walks and comes when called does not grant the owner license to assume they can take their animal out into any outdoor environment and have the dog respond as the owner desires. Not only is this foolish, it can be life threatening.
In a concise formant, the reader will be referenced to recommendations that apply to not only trail, hiking, and wildlife encounters, but basically informative guidelines in reference to the raising and bonding of your dog. For any owner that values the out of doors, his dog must be experienced in this type of environment for his own safety and well being. Anything offered less to your dog is a serious lapse of responsibility by the owner. You can never assume your dog knows how to respond and it is up to you to encourage correct responses. This handy book offers instruction and reference for opening up an incredibly wonderful experience in the outdoors safely, accompanied by our truest best friend, our dog.
