Just got a new book
We just picked up this book on Sunday and I really find it very informative!

I'm not sure if there are similar books for other states/territories, but if there are I would highly recommend picking one up. Not only does it tell you what to expect at every inch of the trails, it gives a couple great checklists for you and your dog. There's also a really nice section on doggy first aid, and how to handle anything that might come up when you're on the trail. We'll be taking a VERY short hike (not even a mile... which is what our neighborhood walk is) this weekend to a lighthouse on a nearby island - SO excited to test out the bigger trails when Keiko grows up a bit!
**Found a link to other areas!
