This is the puppy training podcast, and I'm your to help you every step of the way. This is the puppy training podcast

and I'm your host Amy Jensen. Hey everybody. How are you today? Welcome to the podcast. Thanks for

listening. We talk about dogs here if you didn't know and anything you need to know about training.

So the weather was warming up

where I live and we like to get outside. Baxter loves a good hike. And I thought, you know what,

I haven't done a podcast on hiking before. So let's talk about it today. So today I'm going to give you

tips on how to prepare for a hike, what to take with you, what to do when you're out on that

trail, and then some reminders

because I hope you are getting out and enjoying life with your dog. That's why we get a dog, right?

So they can enjoy life with us. All right. So let's talk about preparing. There are a few things

you'll want to make sure you have in your car with you before you head out. So I like to take with me

a long line. This is basically a leash

that's 20 to 30 feet in length. They also make 10 foot, 15 foot length so you can choose what works

for you. I feel like a 15 to 20 foot length is ideal for hiking. And then I always attach that to my

dog's harness. So I make sure they have a nice, comfortable harness they can wear.

I always bring my own poop bags.

I also like to bring a little poop bag carrier so that my dog can carry it.

I don't have to carry it for them.

You'll want water bowl and water.
