Canine owners who are planning on taking their pet with them on a camping or walking trip should invest in a good harness.

This is the advice from an article on inthisweek.com, which explained that people can take their animals away with them to enjoy the great outdoors with a little forward planning.

For trips where there is going to be a certain amount of walking, the website advised canine owners to ensure they bring with them a good dog harness.

"If you have to hoist the dog to keep going past a sharp ledge, the harness helps a lot," it said.

"Collars just don’t cut it. Pet-lynching has never made for a fun vacation story."

When going rambling, the online resource asserted people should ensure they have a clear route mapped out, which will not be too difficult for the animal.

Finally, it is crucial for pets to be secured with a dog collar and lead to stop them running off into the wilderness and putting themselves in danger.

People looking for inspiration on places they can visit for a walking holiday might like to consider the Peak District or Lake District.
