Camping with your dog

On May 17, 2013 / Hikes

Camping with your dog can be so much fun. The Leash Your Fitness 5th annual camping trip proved that! We had 25 people and 24 dogs in Idyllwild, CA for a weekend full of hiking, playing, eating and even some shopping! The weekend began on Friday, slowly everyone arrived at camp. Mommy had a little hike planned for anyone that arrived early and was ready to go!! The Hillside hike above our campground was perfect! We got to burn some calories and check out the trails. When we returned to camp, everyone had arrived and dinner was almost ready! Dave

Full Moon Hike up Black Mountain

On April 27, 2013 / Hikes

Last nights Full Moon Hike up Black Mountain in San Diego was so much fun!! We began the hike at 7:10 p.m. and got to see the sunset on the way up the mountain. It was a BEAUTIFUL night and we were hiking above the fog. Half way up the mountain we stopped at Night Hawk Trail to re-group and we heard a “buzzing” noise. It turns out it was a family of rattlesnakes under a rock and they were talking to us. It is very important that while hiking you are aware of your surroundings and don’t let your

Sycamore Canyon Hike

On February 26, 2013 / Hikes

What a BEAUTIFUL day it was! It is February but it felt like June! 19 people & their pups came out this morning for a hike at Sycamore Canyon. We had the trails all to ourselves & it was a fun group! All of us dogs got to romp in the fields & chase a few bunnies–that part was fun! Before we headed back up the hill to the cars, mommy arranged for Ranger Justin to give a little talk about the history of Gooden Ranch and how a very nice family donated it to the city for us to enjoy.

Mission Trails Hike 2012

On November 10, 2012 / Hikes

We had a strong hiking group on our Mission Trails Hike so although it was only our second hike of the year, mommy took them to the TOP of South Fortuna Mountain!! It was a perfect day to go hiking and we had so much fun! Mission Trails is either up or down so it was a good workout for the gals and my dog pals! Good thing that they come to our Leash Your Fitness classes to stay in shape because the climb to the ridge from the little bridge is 558 vertical feet and .6 miles. The last

Lake Ramona Hike and One Special Lady

On November 9, 2012 / Hikes

Today was the PERFECT day to hike. It was cool, sunny AND our group was FABULOUS!! One person stood out among the crowd, Bobbi Prilaman was in an accident many years ago and now suffers from nerve damage to her leg. She wears a brace and has tried EVERYTHING to combat the pain. She WANTS to exercise but struggles do to her limitations. Today she climbed the hill up to Ramona Lake. She was slow and steady but SHE DID IT!! We are all so very proud of her for not turning around, keeping a constant smile on her face and being
