What we’re about
Meet other local dog loving hiking enthusiasts as a group of friends exploring, learning, and having fun on the trail in the Canton/Collinsville/New Hartford/Unionville/Avon area and surrounding areas.
Each week there will be two different hikes, once during the week in the late afternoon early evening, and once in the morning on the weekend. Even if you don't have a dog you are welcome to attend providing you like canine companions.
Some hikes are slower-paced nature walks while other hikes are faster-paced and more challenging. This group will hike trails of varying difficulties and distances.
Liability:
A dog's owner or keeper is liable for any damage caused by his dog to a person's body or property, unless the damage was sustained while the person was committing a trespass or other tort, or teasing, abusing, or tormenting the dog. The law presumes that anyone under the age of seven was not committing a trespass or teasing the dog unless the defendant can prove otherwise (CGS § 22-357). If damage has been caused by two or more dogs at the same time, their owners or keepers are jointly and severally liable for the entire damage (CGS § 22-356).
Disclaimer:
Hiking with Doggos (HWD) strives to ensure a safe environment during all activities. While safety is a priority, HWD has no control over the condition of the trails. Hikers hike at their own risk. HWD shall not be held liable for any damage(s) hikers or their dogs incur while at an HWD-organized event/activity (including, but not limited to, HWD Hikes). All hikes are organized as a group. HWD asks all individuals to stay with the group. HWD shall not be held responsible for hikers/dogs who become lost. Hikes may be steep or have difficult terrain. New hikers should consult a physician before starting any exerting activities. HWD reserves the right to discern if a dog should be leashed and owners (group or individual) may be asked to do so. Owners should be aware of any property laws for hikes and are responsible for any and all fines and damage(s) incurred by themselves and/or their dog(s).
