In episode 51 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we once again are talking about dogs. I know we have a lot of dog content on this show, and that is because bringing our pets outside has a huge impact on those local ecosystems. So, as responsible pet owners, it is helpful to have the right tools and knowledge when heading outside. For this specific episode, though, we are focusing more on the things that help set your dog up for success on the trail and the training tips that may help keep you, your dog, and the environment safe on your next hike. A part of preserving and enjoying outdoor spaces is respecting them, and while I love watching my dogs enjoy these natural spaces, some things, like staying on trails, help keep them open for public use, protect our pets, and preserve flora and fauna. So, to help break down some of the most important training tips you can have when hiking with dogs, I’d like to introduce Stephanie Rombough. Stephanie is the trainer and owner at Happy Hounds Dog Training in Edmonton, Alberta. Steph offers both obedience and behavioral training using force-free methods. Today we’re going to be talking about hiking with your dog, which Stephanie does all the time with her corgi/heeler cross, Nirah.
