Following the Dales Way up onto the moors above Grassington (Stage 2)

Dogs

If you take your dog with you along the Dales Way, stick to the same rules that apply to walking them on public footpaths and bridleways. Do not, however, commit your dog to consecutive days of walking if it is not already used to it; you may take your dog for a walk every day at home, but walking the Dales Way is not the same, not least because it involves longer daily distances.

Some accommodation providers accept dogs, but many do not. So, be sure to check in advance. There are also few veterinary services along the route. Be sure to check your dog’s condition and, especially, its feet, every day. You will need to keep your dog on a lead for quite long periods, and it will be more comfortable for it to wear a harness rather than a lead attached to a collar, which can cause rubbing.

Keep your dog under proper control. You can do this by:

 never letting it worry or attack livestock

 never taking it into a field where there are calves or lambs
