Think your dog just tags along for the views? Think again. Discover how your dog sees, hears, smells, and feels every step of your hike, and learn simple ways to turn each trail into an enriching, sensory adventure.
- Dogs experience hikes through a rich blend of sensesāespecially smell, hearing, and touchānot just sight. Understanding how they perceive the trail helps us support their natural instincts.
- Letting your dog explore at their own sensory paceāespecially with sniff breaks and safe terraināboosts mental enrichment and trail enjoyment.
- Each dogās sensitivity to terrain, sound, and stimuli varies. Paying attention to their cues ensures a safer and more comfortable adventure.
