Title: A Guide to Backpacking With Your Dog by Charlene LaBelle ISBN: 0-931866-59-6 Publisher: Alpine Pubns Pub. Date: October, 1992 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $10.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.5 (4 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: Not enough butter for the bread
Comment: This book has the basics just fine. But nothing on the more experienced side. If your trails require fording you find no help here. Tent training, protecting tent floor & inflatable sleeping mattress from dog's nails etc stuff are missing.
The best part of the book was dog's health checkup, signs of dehydration, paw hardening recipe etc.
Conclusion: If your hike lasts a day, the book is fine. If it lasts a week in the wilderness, your dogs will be in trouble unless you find some more information.

Summary: Best so far
Comment: This is the best book so far that I have found on the topic. Avoid the falcon press book on doggy packing - it's pretty durn lame and very short. This book does have basic factoids like how much you can expect your dog to carry, how much water to bring, proper tethers, dog booties,proper trail etiquette (yes, the dog is ON THE LEASH),etc.
She understands that the way the public sees people who hike with dogs is up to each of us - I have had the displeasure of being pounced on in the wilderness by a dog - I instantly had a bad impression of the hikers who called him back. Also, dogs left alone barking at camp - take your dog with you! It's so mean to leave the poor dog alone in a strange place anyways - I'd bark too! This is what gets trails and camps closed to those of us who are responsible!
So if you want to be a responsible 'dog packer' read this book and follow her advice.
See you on the trail!
