Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Hi, I'm of course Wmily and my nut job is Lucifer we live in Everett WA and are looking for dog friendly hiking trails for the fall/winter since his energy is driving me crazy XD, the poor thing usually just gets a normal walk nothing special but i'd like to find some nearby trails to exhaust him. Any suggestions?

I hope Val sees this because she's from close to you.

You are near the Mountain Loop Highway- lots of trails off it.
I would suggest Mt. Pilchuck State Park.
But be careful.
Don't leave anything in your car of value, or that looks like it's valuable.
Lots of car clouting stories on NW Hikers about Mt. Loop.

Have you looked into bikejoring as a form of exercise? Or carting, dog scootering, skijoring, etc.? Plus, contact your local sled dog club, as they will probably be able to answer any of your questions about outdoorsy stuff, trails, etc. for your area.

For WA you have:


Washington  

Inland Empire Sled Dog Association
Newport, Washington
Promoting Sled Dog Sports in the Inland Northwest Region.
http://iesda.org/

NWSDA  
Northwest Sleddog Association
Dryland, snow, recreational events for all levels of experience.
http://nwsda.org/

I found this group too:

http://www.k9scootersnw.org/index.php/

You can go to this site to see all of the sled dog clubs in the USA/world:

Also wanted to add that bikejoring, and soon to be Diggler dog scootering, was my answer when walks and runs were no longer an effective means of exercising my pack. Even with bikejoring, I have yet to make a dent in Paw Paw's stamina and endurance. He has never gotten tired enough where he just decided enough was enough. Walks were not doing it. I couldn't run fast enough to keep up with him. On a bike, he can pull and run all he wants and I don't have to pedal at all. He does all of the work. I slowly added each dog until I got all 4 bikejoring. When I return home from Korea in October I'll finally be buying the Diggler Zephyr dog scooter after waiting and saving $ for 4 years.

So I understand your frustration with exercise and your Devil's energy levels. Once I discovered bikejoring and other dog powered urban mushing sports, I rarely walk or run the dogs at all. This seems to be so much more fun for them, and for me!
