HI--
Question about dog etiquette on the trails:
My all human companion hiking days are over--I'll now happily be hiking with my very friendly young dog. This presents a whole new learning curve though, as I don't know what appropriate dog etiquette is on the trails. While I'm always happy to run into friendly dogs, I'm guessing that not everyone else is, and I want to be respectful of people's hiking experience as well as the environment.
We'll mostly be day hiking in the Whites, working on finishing the NH 48. We may occasionally do some backpacking in the area as well.
We're grateful for any feedback or suggestions anyone can offer--
Thanks!
