Do you know the proper “doggie” etiquette when hiking?

September 10, 2017 by Stacey Simon

Quite simply, follow these 10 commandments of dog hiking and you and your 4 legged companion will be set to hit the mountain trails!

Clean up after your pet, always. (this means bring clean up bags)
Bring a leash and follow the leash laws for the trail you are on. Your dog may be the friendliest pooch off leash, however, approaching another dog on a leash could elicit an unfavorable response.
Carry enough water for your pet (and yourself).
If you are taking a longer hike, be sure to pack a few treats or a scoop of food for Fido.
Please make sure your pet does not chase hikers, horses, bikes or other dogs.
If the trail permits off leash, be sure your pup has mastered the basic commands; sit, stay and heel.
Be sure to pick a trail that is appropriate for both you and your 4 legged companion.
It is smart to pack a collar bell and a light for safety measures.
Do not let your pet chase any wildlife.
Above all, be a responsible human and enjoy our beautiful Colorado trails. Your animal will be smiling like the one below!

Dog-friendly breweries in Breckenridge

August 29, 2017 by Stacey Simon

It’s no secret that Colorado loves their dogs and in Summit County, we even have breweries that welcome your 4-legged companion!

Locals’ favorite in Breckenridge is Broken Compass Brewing which is known for not only what’s on tap, but for all of the furry friends it always has in its lounge.

Summit County’s newest craft brewpub, Outer Range Brewery in Frisco, has also become a new favorite in the area. The dog-friendly location opened in December 2016, and while it also does not serve food — which allows it to welcome pets — it is conveniently located next to Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant. Just like Broken Compass, patrons are welcome to bring food into the brewery. Photos courtesy of Hugh Carey / hcarey@summitdaily.com
