Truly Great Adventures Begin with a Best Friend at Your Side

It's a great big wonderful world out there-so big that most young hikers, experienced or not, would do well to enlist the help of a capable guide. Enter the family dog. Husky or half-pint, lapdog or Labrador, your dog was born a highly skilled wilderness guide. Employing his or her acute senses of smell, hearing, and vision, your dog can point you to countless signs of life on the trail, turning the average walk in the woods into an exciting wilderness adventure. The Trail Hound's Handbook by Ellen Eastwood is your best source for planning dog-powered hikes, basic hiking etiquette and safe practices, clues to spotting wildlife along the trail, and assorted tips to make hiking with dogs simple and fun. Learn to recognize your dog's unique wilderness skills, and find a new way to bond with your family's best friend.

Autorenporträt

"Most of the self-confidence I had as a young teen," says author Ellen Eastwood, "I picked up along a hiking trail. The rest probably came from the slobbering affections of the family dog."

It's no surprise then, that a lifetime of dog-ownership and miles of wilderness trails led Ellen to create The Trail Hound's Handbook. Having earned a journalism degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Ellen has more than 15 years of advertising and newsletter copywriting and design experience. Years in the classroom with pre-school and school-age children, and her current position as mother of four (2 children, 2 dogs) further prepared her for writing this book.

Ellen and her pack currently reside in Westlake Village, California, surrounded by the rugged Santa Monica Mountains. When she's not outside with her dogs, Ellen is volunteering at her kids' schools, working on her new website, KidsHikeDogsHike.com, or playing basketball in a local women's league.
