According to www.dogoutdoors.com, you will need a bike dog leash, a system of course for watering your canine, and you will want to consider 25+lb. dogs, with dogs under 25lbs. being bet- ter suited carried in a bicycle seat or trailer. They also suggest always keeping a trailer in the event your dog gets fatigued and mention to use caution with dogs with flat faces who have trouble breathing and dogs with short legs, or very muscular dogs. Again, always let your dog set the pace and make sure you have your dog under complete control and trained. There are several options in the Triad for professional trainers,


just a couple include the trainers with local canine specialty shop, The Natural Dog, Carolina Dog Training Club (non-profit for over 75 years), and a large network of trainers through local canine shop, Best 4K9. Do you love camping? Chances are your dog may love camp-


ing too! There are things to consider before taking them along: does the campground/area allow dogs? Will I be able to keep my dog with me, or am I partaking of activities during the day where I would be in a situation of leaving them in camp all day alone (not good). If you are backpacking, make sure the trails you plan to hike allow dogs and don’t take your dog who’s never been camping on a week long trip. Consider acclimating them to the idea of sleeping outdoors. Most of our dogs sleep indoors with us in our modern society so all of a sudden expecting them to sleep outdoors can be traumatic for them, they will be hypersen- sitive to every little noise in the woods and keep you up all night barking at every little chipmunk. According to Phil Ray owner of Best4K9 in Greensboro/Oak Ridge, think of your dog as you would your child. You would acclimate your child to sleeping in the dark woods first, so you should with your dog. A great idea is to start easy with surroundings your dog is used to and camp in your yard

with them, one night or half a night at first, then and entire night, then two nights etc. Keep them inside the tent, have a dog bed for them to call their own and they know that’s “their spot.” Some dogs may be too high strung to camp with you but it’s better to find out at home than on a long multi-day trip and everyone is miserable. Then, theres’ Dog Dock Diving….what?! Yes, according to


Steve Lee, manager of The Natural Dog in Greensboro, based out of Burlington, there is a fairly new phenomenon to enjoy with your dog, and it is called dock diving and can be done ANY- WHERE. That’s right, there are companies who will bring the pool, the dock etc., set it up in your parking lot and the dogs compete by diving off of the dock. Competitions are held all over the U.S. The dogs are thrown a toy off the dock and run and jump after it and are graded on how far and high they jump and how quickly they retrieve. So far they have only come to Charlotte and Raleigh but he expects this will be seen in Greensboro and the Triad soon enough. This, we have to see! Perhaps running is your exercise of choice. A great way to get in shape, lose weight and spend quality time with your dog is to take them with you. They will especially love trail running and the Triad surely has many dirt trails to enjoy! Our watershed trails are practically famous for trail running and mountain biking, people drive from all over to enjoy these clean, well maintained, beautiful trails that are usually next to water. Your dog will love being in the woods with you and this is an activity you can eas- ily do with them after work, early mornings before work or weekends. Be sure to check out our watershed trails around Lake Brandt, Lake Higgins and Lake Townsend. Fox Hunting. Don’t worry, nowadays no one is actually fox hunting but they have laid a fake fox scent trail for the dogs to
