"One of
the best books I've seen on dogs and hiking - perfect to take
with you when you are traveling. Definitely a must-have book." -Jon Patch, host of the nationally syndicated
radio show, TALKIN' PETS
As an active
dog owner you know the scenario. You read about a pristine trail
enthusiastically described in a guidebook and, with great anticipation,
you head there only to discover: NO DOGS ALLOWED.
When we travel, we want our dogs with us. To hike with our dogs
we can always go to a remote forest, but we want to see the continent's
natural wonders as well. Our new book, THE CANINE HIKER'S BIBLE,
seeks not only to identify those sensational trails open to canine
hikers but to find dog-friendly walks near those where dogs are
banned in North America's most popular destinations. Inside you
will find:
Detailed descriptions of more than
225 parks in or near the most popular vacation destinations in
the United States and Canada - all written with your best friend
in mind
Rules for dogs in 100 most-visited
national lands in the United States
Rules for dogs in the most prominent
parks of 35 major cities - and a nearby wilderness area to hikewith
your dog
Rules for dogs at 1300 beaches in
500+ beach towns in the United States and Canada
5 towns your dog hiker will love
And much more,
including dogs on long-distance trails; outfitting your dog for
a hike; canine hiking in the desert; how to form a canine hiking
club...
More praise for the Canine Hiker's Bible:
"The
Canine Hiker's Bible is an excellent and "canine companion
friendly" guidebook to more than 225 dog-friendly parks
and trails in the United States and Canada. Many trails presented
in popular guidebooks are 'no dogs allowed.' The Canine Hiker's
Bible is packed from cover to cover with black-and-white photographs,
descriptive information, rules and regulations for dogs in 102
of the most-visited national lands in the United States, practical
tips for caring for a dog while hiking in high altitudes or desert
conditions, and so much more. The Canine Hiker's Bible is
very highly recommended for nature and wilderness enthusiasts
who would welcome the accompaniment of their canine companion." - The Midwest Book Review's "Reviewer's
Choice."
"The author endorses responsible
and safe hiking and offers great advice on the subject but this
book's greatest asset is the guide to parks where canines
are permitted. These range from well-known places like Yosemite
National Park to dog-walking haunts in big cities..." -

"I particularly like the extensive section on dog friendly
(or not so friendly if the case may be) beaches. Since we
all know rules can change daily, it also provides contact information
for all beaches, parks, cities, and towns. This book is obviously
most appropriate for dog lovers but also manages to pack in a
lot of information about parks and the cities he profiles. It's
a great research tool for dog lovers." - Kathleen Ganster, TRAVELLADY
MAGAZINE
"A terrific
practical guide for anybody planning to explore natural areas
in North America with their canine buddy. This book is perfect
for those who fear arriving at their destination only to find
a big 'No Dogs' sign and lots of unsympathetic looking people."
- Christine
Adkins, MODERN DOG MAGAZINE
"The CANINE HIKER'S BIBLE
lives up to its title. It is well written, well illustrated,
and a must for anyone who enjoys hiking with a dog."
