Herd It Hikes

21/02/2024

I was lucky enough to win the lottery to hike The Wave on only my second try! It was absolutely amazing. The dogs had a blast, I took a million pictures and I hope to go back again someday to explore the desert out there even more.

Have you heard of the 10 essentials? If you’re a hiker, I hope you have! But what should you bring for your dog? I made a list below of the things I always make sure to bring out on hikes for my pups 🐾

↠ Food: I always have lots of treats in my f***y pack for them for training and energy boosts. High protein foods, such as or are always a great choice.

↠ Water: You always always always want to make sure you have enough water for your dogs (and yourself!). Also, make sure to bring a bowl or make sure they can drink out of a hose/bottle.

↠ Booties: I recommend dogbooties.com since they are lightweight and you buy them individually. I always make sure to bring them with me. It could get too hot in the desert, too cold in the snow, or there could be pokey plants and sharp rocks. If the dogs can’t protect their feet, you will have to carry them out (see #6).

↠ First Aid Kit: They do make first aid kits specifically for dogs which I highly recommend, but you can also use many of the items in a human kit.

↠ Insulation: A a waterproof/windproof jacket just in case the weather turns. I recommend

↠ Emergency Harness: A dog carrying harness made specifically for emergencies. Since I’m from NH, I recommend Pack-A-Paw, though I know many people like the Airlift harness by

↠ Leash: Always carry a leash, even if your dog will be hiking off leash, and follow leash laws.

↠ P**p bags: All the p**p bags.

↠ Name Tag: A tag with your dog’s emergency contact info is always a great idea!

Bonus Gear: I use a harness that has a handle for easy lifting and lowering, as well as a back clip for their leashes. makes fantastic gear and I use their sidekick F***y pack on every adventure. makes the best adventure bandanas! Candy wore one on every hike we did last year!

We’ve been hiking around quite a bit where we’re living! There’s so much to explore. Last week we took a long walk out to some hoodoos - it was a wet and muddy hike but we all had a lot of fun.

A bunch of happy dogs on a group hike the other day 🐾

One of my favorite things about where I’m living is not only my backyard being full of hiking trails, but they’re -quiet-. I took these 4 out on a hike Saturday and didn’t see anyone the entire time. It gives them the opportunity to run around off leash with a bit more freedom while really working on recall and sticking close. And seeing dogs be dogs like that makes me Happy.

(These 4 do have a pretty good understanding of recall, if they didn’t I wouldn’t let them off leash. You can see Miss Candy is still dragging a long line)

Made it to Utah, met some new dog friends already and of course went on a couple hikes!

Most of you know already, but for those of you that don’t - I’m moving to Utah!

It’ll only be for a few months, but I’m excited for this next adventure. I’ll be back in NH in spring and will continue offering hikes then 🐾

In the meantime, enjoy the snow for me 😜
