How to Adventure with your Dog!

There's no question that dogs make the best adventure companions. From hiking and trail running to backpacking and camping, paddle boarding to snow sports, our dogs will gleefully join us for just about any outdoor excursion we desire. The key to a successful outing is preparation, knowledge, and a well-trained dog. In this discussion, Jen will chat about the experience she has acquired after over a decade of hiking and trail running and two years of bike touring across Europe and South America with her dogs. She will share her mistakes and lessons learned that have made her the dog owner she is today. 

Jen Sotolongo is the owner of and writer for the adventure dog blog, Long Haul Trekkers, a resource for adventurous dogs and their humans to learn about how to get outdoors together. She is also the author of The Essential Guide to Hiking with Dogs and the owner and lead dog trainer of Libra Dog Training, where she specializes in helping struggling dog owners shape their ultimate adventure companion. You can likely find Jen traversing single track trails in the mountains, with her dog Sitka by her side and if she's not outdoors, she's probably either training her dog or whipping up some delicious vegan delight in the kitchen.
