Hiking with your dog

Just like us: choose hikes that are suited to your pooch’s form and endurance!

Your companion (we’re talking about the dog!), doesn’t become a sportsman overnight… if he’s used to spending most of his time on the sofa and getting up only to eat and relieve himself, don’t take him on a 7-hour hike, train him gradually.

Sometimes a hunter, sometimes a runaway, sometimes not very obedient or even not very sociable, your companion’s character conditions your organization. Start with an “adaptation” walk, because of the new terrain and the festival of new smells Medor will discover, which could have consequences on his ability to obey.

On hiking trails, dogs must always be kept on a leash, especially when approaching areas occupied by herds and watched over by the famous patous. You are responsible for your animal and must keep it under control at all times, especially when encountering animals such as ibex, chamois, patous… and other hikers and mountain bikers.

.

As with us, don’t forget Medor’s essentials before setting off: harness and leash, water, food, small bags to pick up his “forgetfulness” and small treats and other treats to congratulate him during the walk.

In hot weather, make sure dehydration doesn’t set in. So remember to give him a drink regularly. Don’t forget to give him a collar with your phone number on it – you never know!”

So, you’re all set to take your most loyal companion on your escapades.
