No matter how often you take your dog for a walk during the day, don't you often feel that you don't spend enough time with your furry friend in everyday life? I mean truly spending time together, not just quickly going around the corner for 15 minutes to throw a few balls. How unreasonable would it be to put your pet in a kennel before a hiking vacation? Isn't it exactly that—shared time—that we and our dogs need the most? How about finally being outside together without time pressure and stress, feeling the wind and weather, overcoming challenging situations, enjoying the beautiful play of light during sunset in front of the tent, and growing even closer in the process? This book offers tips and suggestions to help plan a trip and thereby avoid potential problems in advance.
