Backpacking with your Dog! How to Wear Out a Siberian Husky – Outward Hound Backpack
It’s time for product review
Today, Shelby is going to help us demonstrate
the Outward hound
Doggie Backpack
And if you’re wondering where you can go purchase your own outward hound backpack. There’ll be a link down in the video description
That takes you directly to it at our store, or you can go to gone to the snow dogs dot com
They are offered in four different colors
Shelby has the orange one on and they are also offered in four different sizes. What do you think about that Shelby
What do you think of that backpack?
These are actually really cool backpacks their new as of
2007 it’s a whole new design. See the Outward hound. I got lots of zippers and pockets and a nice little handle
One of the things I really like about this backpacks this whole top piece comes off, and I’ll show you that in a minute
Check out these pockets
Okay, so when you open up these pockets, you’ll see they’re actually really big. I threw a couple of things in here just for fun
We toss some antlers in here
And down in the bottom of both sides of the pouch there’s little straps put your water bottles down in here
So you can put one water bottle on each side
One thing you have to remember when using dog backpacks like this you want to try to weight them
Distribute the weight on both sides you don’t want all the weight on one side because it will cause the backpack to kind of want
To tip one way, it’ll make the dog
Want to walk crooked sometimes right, right Shelby. You’re doing so good. You’re doing so good. Here’s just a good demonstrator
But anyway, there’s these two pockets on both sides with lots of storage room. The backpack itself when it goes on
There’s a nice big Pad right here that goes on the chest and that goes down underneath
And then there’s two straps that go around. I can crawl down ya
There’s two straps that go around the belly one here and one here. I have this one loose
I didn’t adjust it real well yet, and they’re all adjustable
So if you have a bigger dog like Oakley or a senior dog like Shiloh
Right so skinny shiloh, you can adjust these strips accordingly
Now probably one of my favorite features of this backpack is the ability to actually remove the backpack from the dog without
Removing all of the harnessing equipment that you have to put on when you put the backpacks on. This is actually
velcroed
Right on. So you can take the backpack off
So if you have this packed with camera equipment or first aid equipment or whatever you have in here
Whatever you need you [can] take the backpack off pretty cool
Huh, Shi and get out what you need without happened to unstrap it from the dog
every single time
The nice thing about being able to remove the backpack quickly if you have it full of stuff
And you’re stopping to take a break. You can take the backpack off so that the dog can also take a break from carrying all
That weight. Another nice thing about these backpacks all this little stuff right here, and there’s someone here too, is reflective
So if you’re out walking at night, it has a little bit of reflectiveness to it
So people can see you and your dog as you’re walking
So if you’re anything like us, and you have really active dogs, and you need help wearing them out
Backpacks are amazing you can put a little bit of weight, and I’m take them for walks
It helps wear them out a little bit faster
Shelby’s actually going out with us a few times and she doesn’t seem to mind it at all when she first gets it put on
She kinda does this where she doesn’t want to move a lot. Once we get walking, man
She just wants to go go go. It takes me about half the time to wear her out
Using the backpack as long as we put some water bottles and a few toys in it and sometimes the camera equipment, right Shelby.
Right
Say we like our backpack
And now we’re going to show you a little bit of footage of Shelby working with her backpack
And after you take your dog for a good long walk with that backpack on, they tire out just a little bit easier.
So Shelby’s all tired now good job Shelby
