    Guidelines for Hiking, Walking, & Adventuring with Dogs

     

    Well-behaved dogs are generally welcome on all walking and hiking LAC adventures where dogs are allowed on the trails. It is part of your responsibility to check the rules for each park/preserve and that the difficulty level is suited for your dog, but LAC Guides will ultimately decide if dogs are included on an adventure. Please be sure to pick up after your dog (follow Leave No Trace principles) and bring plenty of extra water.

    1. Keep your dog under control at all times. She should always be within ear-shot.
    2. Make sure your dog is trail-worthy. Trail-worthy means hikes easily with a loose lead, abide by voice command, is not aggressive or protective of you, or excessively barks.
    3. Don’t try to manage more than one dog (for your own sake!)
    4. Protect the wildlife.

      We love how popular the LAC is with our Maine community but in this moment we are hitting the pause button on accepting new members. Our membership is at the level that allows for a wonderful diversity of skills, personalities, and ages but we can’t accommodate everyone in our adventure schedule. Instead of joining and being frustrated about our adventures being full-up, we want you to join and be thrilled with the LAC. Please check back soon for an update.

      Happy adventuring,
      Gillian and the LAC adventure team
