Fresh air, beautiful scenery, excellent exercise - these are just a few reasons why people enjoy hiking so much. Some people prefer hiking in groups, whereas others like the solitude of hiking alone. Another option that can combine the best of both worlds is hiking with your dog. When you think about it, they really are the perfect companion for an activity as serene as hiking. And depending on the type of dog you have, they are probably up for the challenge just as much as you, if not more.

3. Other important dog gear.
