And the sport of mountain climbing is also very suitable for dogs, which can be well exercised to coordinate the dog's limbs, but you must make preparations before leading dogs. What are the things to pay attention to? Let's take a look.
1. Choose the time to climb the mountain
Most dogs have endless curiosity and brave adventure spirit. In order to prevent the dog from accident when they go to the mountaineering, they must choose the smallest mountain with the dog to climb the mountain. If necessary, you can use the traction rope to hold the dog at all times, so that it should not stay away from you until it reaches a safe place and let it go.
In order to prevent dogs from scrambling on the mountains, the mountain climbing time can be set in the morning, and the evening is less. This can breathe the fresh air in the mountains, and the bright light in the morning is conducive to ensuring the safety of the dog.
Because people are rare on the mountains, and there are small animals that are not common on weekdays, dogs' alertness will be heavier, and the aggressiveness will be relatively strong. In order to prevent the dog from pursuing or attacking other animals with curiosity, you can bring a bell on the dog when climbing the mountain. The shaking bells attract the dog's attention and reduce the possibility of "causing trouble".
If the dog is fierce, it is best to put a tight mask for the dog, which can prevent the dog from stealing wild fruits in the mountains and reducing the probability of poisoning. The main role is to block the dog's sense of smell, greatly suppress the curiosity of the dog, thereby reducing the possibility of accidents.
2. Check the dog's body before going down the mountain
Before going down the mountain, you must do a good job of cleaning the dog. Especially the long -haired dogs, walking all the way, its soft quilt hair is likely to become a gathering place for fallen leaves, seeds of plants, and small insects in forests. In addition, dogs like to sniff everywhere, and their noses and oral cavities should be focused on checking, so as not to bring these debris home.Therefore, it is best to bring a special comb, cotton swabs and other items for dogs before climbing. There is also a way to greatly reduce the intensity of the dog's cleaning work, that is, wearing a denim suit for the dog. However, this is also seasons. The temperature in summer is high, which is not suitable for dogs to wear denim. This method can be used in other seasons.
3. Do a good job of defense measures for dogs
After all, the dog is an animal. If you encounter a problem, you will not ask the owner for help. This needs to be observed as the master. If the dog walks, it will definitely be injured by the feet without shoes. At this time, you can open the dog's feet and toe seams to see if there is any thorns inserted into the skin. If there is, pull it out immediately. After a few minutes, the dog will jump again.
If you have checked and did not find abnormalities, the dog still limped, it is likely to be a dog's joint sprained. At this time, even if the dog's interest is high, you can't continue to climb the mountain, but you need to take the dog to the pet hospital for examination. Next time you climb the mountain, remember to put on soft and comfortable shoes for the dog. Although it looks a bit funny, but for the safety of the dog, you might as well try it.
4. Choose suitable dogs
Not all dogs like to climb mountains. Many dogs with small bodies, short legs, and poor physical strength, such as Shi Shi, are very laborious to walk away or mountain roads. If you take them up the mountain, it won't be long before you go, it may become you carry it up the mountain. This will not only have the effect of letting the dog exercise, but it will make you physically and mentally exhausted.Therefore, before the hill climbing activities, you must consider the dog's variety.
