Dog Owner's Corner
With the weather getting warmer, here are some things you should know when camping or hiking with
your dog

First, make sure you choose a hike that is appropriate for your dog. Be sure the area you are going is dog friendly. Prepare your dog physically for outdoor adventures. Start trail training your dog and getting them used to new equipment such as a pack or booties. Learn proper trail etiquette for dogs and their owners. Keep your dog on leash and respect other hikers. Learn how to deal with dog poop on a long hike or backpacking trip. Leave no trace! Know the most common dangers and threats to dogs while hiking in your area. Learn how to fit and load your dog’s pack properly. Make sure to watch the weight and load it evenly. Remember to bring the essentials. Food, water and collapsible dish, poop bags, first aid kit, and an extra leash is always a good idea.

ALTERNATIVE PATH
We understand that not all veterans are in need of a service dog, but they may still want a dog with basic training or need assistance with a dog they already own. For this reason, we created the Alternative Path. This is a six week program dedicated to teaching veterans basic training skills either with a dog they already have or one that is provided by CWAC. For more information, email us at info@canineswithacause.org.
