Guide to Dog Packing
In an earlier post, I wrote about a dog pack that carries water so you don’t have to carry it for your dog. Now I’d like to tell you about Dog Packing!
Dog packing is when you use a backpack on your dog so that he/she can help you carry the load when hiking and adventuring.
Dogs are strong and according to the Guide to Dog Packing, they can carry about one quarter of their own body weight! That’s a lot if you have a huge dog like Anna around. She weighs around ninety pounds at the moment, so that means she could easily carry twenty pounds in a dog pack.
I bet she could carry Mr. Meaty in a backpack on her back!
Read the Guide to Dog Packing for information on training a dog to wear a pack, fitting a dog with a pack properly, trail etiquette and where to get further information for planning your trip.j
Go hiking with your dogs and go Dog Packing!
