Not every dog behaves the same way on the trail, so we created the Hiker Type Quiz to help narrow it down. There are five types: Trail Blazer, Casual Sniffer, Adventure Seeker, People Watcher, and Sprinter.

Each one tends to fit certain breeds more than others, and each comes with its own tips, things to watch out for, and gear recommendations based on how that dog actually moves and behaves outside.
