FALL LEAVES
The fall months in Upstate NY offer some of the prettiest sites in the country! We are blessed with an autumn season that is filled with brilliant colors, typically decent weather and great trails to hike on. There are literally hundreds of options for hiking and camping in Monroe and the surrounding counties. I bet your dog loves the opportunities too. But you want to be sure that you and your dog are prepared for the excursion.
Make sure to check out the dog policies. You’ll want to make sure that the trails you hike on or the campsite you’re pitching your tent at allows dogs. Some parks have dog-specific trails as well, so be sure to read signs. Also prepare yourself with plastic bags to pick up your pooch’s waste.
You’ll also want to trim your dog’s nails to prevent them from tearing or getting ripped on rugged trails. Bring plenty of water—for you and your dog! Even if it’s not hot out, they will need to have plenty to drink. Avoid letting them drink from streams or lakes. They can have potential harmful bacteria or parasites, which can cause them to have an upset stomach or even get sick.
Know the leash laws. If there is no leash law where you’re at, it’s recommended to get a remote training tool to communicate with your dog from a far distance (contact Invisible Fence Brand for more info). You want to be sure to have control of your dog at all times off leash, so they don’t get distracted by a deer or wild animal and run!
Camping and hiking can be fun for your and your entire family—and your dog will love the challenge and change of scenery! For more tips and tools to help your dog while camping, contact Invisible Fence Brand at 585-271-1700 or log onto www.InvisibleFence.com.
