Episode Disclaimer: the topic of ecollars (or shock collars) is discussed during this episode. Since the time of recording this episode, I have changed my stance regarding ecollars and no longer use them with any of my dogs. If you listen to later dog-related episodes, you will hear more about R+/Force Free dog training that involves no adverse tools. I encourage owners to do their research and know the potential impacts of using these collars as they can cause harm, especially when they are not used properly. ------------------------ Love to take your pup hiking and camping? Recently adopt a new dog that seems too reactive on walks to ever dream of taking them hiking? Well, we have some news for you! Adventuring with your dog can and should be rewarding for BOTH of you. In episode 8 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, I have the pleasure of talking with dog expert, dog lover, and dog mom Jen Sotolongo about how to responsibly take your dog on any outdoor adventure. Jen Sotolongo is the founder of the adventure dog blog, Long Haul Trekkers, and the author of the book, the Essential Guide to Hiking with Dogs. She is working toward becoming a dog trainer so she can help owners live their best lives with their dogs. Jen lives in Portland, OR with her rescued cattle dog mix, Sitka where they spend a lot of time exploring the best trails for running.

What is outdoor minimalism? First and foremost, it is a lifestyle. It is a mindset shift that roots all of our outdoor recreation activities in minimalist philosophies. It is a way to combine minimalism, environmentalism, mindfulness, and essentialism and meld it into all of our outdoor pursuits. That's all easy to say, but how do you do it? To help you skip the learning curve I waded through, I wrote "Outdoor Minimalist: Waste Less Hiking, Camping, and Backpacking," your go-to handbook for how to lessen your impact as you play outside even before you hit the trail. The book is ideal for any outdoor enthusiast looking to enrich their experience and put these practices into place. The podcast then can be seen as an expansion of the book and a way to make the information more accessible through conversation.
