What a beautiful place! Those are all good points. Since my dog Emma is aggressive with other dogs it’s impariative that I camp/hike in very remote areas in order to maintain my peace of mind in order for BOTH of us to enjoy the vacation. Otherwise I spend the whole weekend disciplining my dog and we both get stressed out.

Including a different number other than your own on your dog’s ID tag is a great idea, especially while camping. Thanks!

On the ID thing, make sure you put a tag with a phone number that will be attended, even if it’s not your usual number. If you are out camping, I suggest using the phone number of someone who is *not* with you, as well as your cell phone number. You might be out of range for the cell, not have a place to charge it, or whatever.

You can order a dog backpack online here. Many pet stores also sell them.

I have just started to take Chels (4month Dane) bush walking. We hope to camp with her next summer.I like the idea of a dog back pack but where do you get them…

I had thought to buy nylon bike saddle bags and adjust them for her.

ps, liking your blog

I used to take my mutt with me everywhere. She was really well behaved so people would ask me where she was if I didn’t have her. I used to work for an aquarium and bring her there for certain shifts where she was allowed. She absolutely loved watching the dolphins and other sea life. Other than that, she loved the beach and swam in the water for hours. This was a great way to tire her out!

That looks like so much fun! I have to get my other dogs a backpack. Levi has one, but he’s the only one so far.
