Hi Athena, sorry to hear about your brother's passing, I'm glad he left behind a little angel to watch over you ❤ 🐶 my dog always get me up in the morning and she is ALWAYS happy. They are just so special. Glad Oslo has brought you so much joy. Great video as always x
Oslo, such a little star and a lasting, loving memory of your brother😘😊
Just what we needed! 🐶 excited to be able to take our 8 month spaniel cross on hikes and wild camps as soon as she’s old enough.
She is also helping me through grief and has been my rock. I hope Oslo has been helping you too ❤️ he’s such a wonderful dog. Thank you for this beautiful and informative video. Thinking of you and your family 🤍
Yes! Oslo the star!
One very important caveat - when your dog reaches their senior years, PLEASE no more long or strenuous hikes! A keen hill walking friend of mine literally walked his aged lab to death! She passed on the trail unable to cope with heat, steep gradient and altitude gain :-( Older dogs are ok with just a stroll in the park, they just want to get out of the house for a bit. I constantly see people with old dogs who are taking strain on their regular hikes, it's so unfair. Realise that it is THEIR walk you are taking them for and tailor it according to their capabilities, not to your ambitions of conquering that distant peak!
Love the videos, scritches to Oz.
Such a happy dog he is, and the landscape is beautiful...
Lovely video again. Oslo is so beautiful. So sorry to hear of your loss having and looking after Oslo is holding on to your Brother. Love to you both ❤ and Oslo of course. Xxx
Hi mate. Lovely views around Helvellyn, Grisedale & the Greenside mines. Oslo has always been the diva of the channel ! When your new addition gets the love that Oslo receives then you are going to be one loving family. Take care till next time xx
Lovely video starring the gorgeous Oslo. I have not long got a rescue Welsh Sheepdog and he's going to be my walk companion...so really useful to watch. Like Oslo he's scent driven so don't think he'll be coming off the lead
I love the clips of your local walks, walks I have been on so many times over the past 40+ years with my dad. He passed from Covid and I really miss my weekends up there.
This was an absolutely beautiful video, one of my favourites ever. Makes me incredibly excited to do more with my Springer when he's a little older. We love trail running together but yet to go on any big hikes or trips. Recently went to the Epicentre in Ambleside and had a good look at the Ruffwear packs, very excited to order one for his 1st birthday next month! :) Big hugs to the magnificent Oslo xxxxx
Aw thanks so much! That’s so exciting and hope you guys enjoy some lovely hikes together 😊
the violins in the beginning....they really got me this time.
I love how you con see how the style of filming changes and the videos look more and more professional.
Thank you! I think the combination of two of us filming plus refining my editing technique really helped this video 😊
Oslo you have found your perfect forever loving home. 🐾🐾
Such a calming video!😊
I hope your brother would be touched to see how inlove the world is with Oslo! 💕🐾💕 Wonderful video. We love you, Oslo. 💗💗💗
I don't have a dog, but loved watching this as Oslo is my fave CZcams pooch, along with Olive and Mabel (have their own channel). Have a lovely weekend! PS the scenery is joyful 🤩
Aw thank you!
Lovely footage of all those snow scenes and Oslo obviously!
I live in a city, don't own a dog or enjoy hiking...but my god I love your videos. They're so calming and are perfect for the end of a busy week.
I am deaf and backpack/hike with my dog all the time. This is the BEST video I have ever seen on "hiking with a dog".Love your #1 point is the ability of your dog not you. Great tips all around and hit every need for your dog including dog gear and food.I would just add a 1st aid kit for the dog. Thank you OSLO!! And thank you for sharing be well and Trail on!!
Thank you! That’s a great point 😊
So sad to hear your brother had passed away but so lovely to have Oslo in his memory.
Thank you ❤️
Some great tips when out and about with your dog in the countryside. A well presented production and a joy to watch.
Love Oslo. Lovely scenery and video
Great guidance on how to be caring and loving dog owner! I have had dogs all my life ( I'm 62) and not seen a better more straightforward set of instructions!
Oslo is Beautiful 😍 ❤ thankyou for adopting him. Your brother was kind to rescue him ftom dogs trust. I am so sorry 😞 you lost your brother. Love and light to you 💛 ✨ xxx
Lovely video Athena beautiful landscape. Oslo is the man
I don't have a dog but love love to watch Oslo in your wonderful videos! Thank-you Athena!
Much Love from Gabriola Island, BC, Canada.
What a lovely video ☺️
We are doing something similar on our channel so feel free to check it out :)
Oslo is the absolute star🌟 !! Beautiful to see him in his natural habitat. Hugs for Oslo!🐶🦴🥓
Great tips and beautiful filming - that May snow was stunning - Helvellyn looking it’s best👍 Walk our wee Border Terrier weekly on the fells and he just loves it - his staff carry everything for him 😉 Oslo looks great with his backpack and clearly loves the fells. Hope all this year’s visitors follow your tips especially leave no trace and using a lead. Looks like you’re all enjoying Cumbria life - congratulations on the baby.
Thank you!
I just LOVE ❤ Oslo !!! He's going to be the best big Brother. Congrats Athena and Harvey on your baby news. You will be the best parents. There is so much Love in your home...so happy for both of you 🤗
beautiful Oslo :)
5 tips for hiking with a Harvey? Brilliant little video 🥰🙌
Haha coming soon 😂😂
take lots of cake!
I used to love hiking in the hills. Too old now to do strenuous walks, so this vlog makes enjoyable watching, and Oslo adds value.
Thanks for an informative vlog.
Thank you Althena & Oslo for thinking of our canine companion hikers. Really great video with beautiful scenery.
Perfect timing! Taking my 2 dogs on a hiking vacation starting monday 🐶
This is the first video that I watch of you guys and it’s beautiful 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 it bought me all kinds of emotions and definelty inspired me to go out hiking with my dogs. Sending lots of love 💓💓💓
Really enjoyed this video! I had no idea that Oslo was a rescue dog! I have two rescues and they are a joy to us every day! There is nothing more enjoyable than a lovely walk with the dogs x
Have you discovered Podgy Paws up in Keswick? Our dog and the folk in their have a mutual love and they are absolutely great at recommending good stuff, fitting it properly and even servicing it when we pop in for more treats.
Oslo is great BTW!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm about to head to Wales for a road trip with my little dog and I'll be vlogging that too. He can't walk so well, so that might be tricky with Camera, Dog, me etc lol but I'm very excited for that quality time.
Loved your little video and loved seeing dear Oslo, the three of you make a good team👍
Beautiful and really informative as ever. Oslo is just the best 😊
Really helpful tips! 🙂
Probably one of the best videos you’ve ever made. Loved every minute of it!
Another great video Athena, we love watching! This one in particular is so important, I think a lot of dog owners reckon they should be off the lead to enjoy a walk. However, having confidence to keep them on the lead for large chunks of a walk is safer for both dog and owner. Having safe areas for off lead running is great advice 👍🏻
My daughter has a dog (Eiko) who is Oslo's absolute double in almost every respect (apart from the boy bits - she's a girl!) Gorgeous dogs, but yes, when that hound trail instinct kicks in, she can disappear for hours if she's not on the lead - you're very wise to keep him on his. Randomly enough, we also lost our youngest in 2019 to cancer. I feel for your loss very much, but yes, dogs really do help and what a wonderful life you are giving him x
Was a backpacking guide for a few years in British Columbia Canada....faithful spot my black lab carried 25 to,35 pounds for a decade until he was almost 12...lived till almost 15 but i only let him carry his water the last 3 years..his dad was top field trial dog in Canada twice and placed third in north America... the vet knicknamed him QUADZILLA....so jacked people thought he was part Rottweiler or pitbull
A tip....when you get a dog pack fill it full of plastic bags full of crumpled newspaper so they get used to the extra width on trails....then start adding waterbottles to both sides slowly to get them used to the weight and width. This will save a lot of broken packs.....and bring a speedstitcher for rips and broken zippers and at least a dozen ziprties in different sizes to replace broken buckles etc....also get tough dog booties because shale slides rough granite and beaches will rip your dogs feet apart
He passed 2 months before my first boy.....2 little boys now and can't wait until they are old enough for a dog....BEAR SPRAY and teach your dog not to chase game.....it will save your lives in bear country
Hooray it’s Saturday morning that was an amazing vlog thank you Athena, Harvey and Oslo for sharing.
Loved this,you give Oslo his best life xx
Really enjoyed your new video. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful and although I don't have a dog I love following Oslo's adventures with you and Harvey. 😊
Great video and information, Oslo certainly looks the part in the Lakes.
Great vlog Athena! I love to see an animal happy and Oslo has definitely landed on his paws with you ;0)! Animal people are lovely people, and Oslo loves you thats for sure 😄
Great tips thanks! We have to keep our Springer on the lead due to similar instincts as Oslo!! 🐶 p.s. This shows what great parents you’re going to be as well ☺️👏🏻
Aw thank you 😊👶🏼🐶
Great to see you float Oslo's meals aswell, its so important for barrel chested dogs as they tend to woooof everything & anything down... not sure in Oslo's case but my boy is a Dalmatian & they are prone to uriney stones,and just by floating meals can completely stop it as they consume alot more water hence everything washes through beautifully.
Great vlog.
Lovely to watch
A well loved Oslo
So useful, well-edited, and nicely voiced video! Amazing drone footage. I think I see it the first time in your videos. Is it your new purchase? So worth it!
What a lovely dog you have. Really nice tunes too !
Thank you Athena! As i watched our dog Bob sat down next to me. He reacts great on Oslo 😊
Nice video, beautiful dog!
Well put together guide to dog walking in the hills brilliantly explained well done Athena and Oslo enjoyed it so much with my Saturday morning mug of coffee but the snow looked so so cold LOL
Thanks so much! It wasn’t too cold as the sun was really lovely 😊
Lovely video as always thanks guys 😊❤️
we love oslo, and its great to see such responsible dog owners, unfortunately not all are the same as i see lots of irresponsible dog owners in the peaks, off the leads when they shouldnt be, not cleaning up after them etc, i love dogs but the mrs is scared of them, and what some people dont realise is a farmers are quite in their rights to shoot a dog if they attack livestock, brill vid by the way and give oslo a kiss for me 😘
Brilliant vid as usual 😀, Always lovely and calming , I adore Oslo his so cute , the way he looks at the Camera gets me every time 😀😆🥰, Congrats once again on your lovely news 😀🥰, Best Wishes to Both if you and Oslo of course 🥰XXX X
No need to say anything but brilliant, thank you for a great start to Saturday. Oslo for ever 👍🏻
Really enjoyable video, we have two whippets that we hike with and I think we carry more clothes for them than ourselves as they get cold so easily. We sometimes even attach a few hand warmers under their coats if it’s freezing. One of our dogs limits is boggy ground, he just won’t walk on it which once resulted in about a 4 mile fireman’s carry.
Haha oh no!! It’s good to get to know those limitations though 🙌
Hi Athena: I enjoyed watching your video on 5 tips for hiking with a dog. Although I don't own a dog I sent a link to a good friend of mine who has a dog and know she'll appreciate it. I love Oslo's name and noticed that the brand names for his doggie treats/meals are Oslo. He's a happy hygge dog accompanying you and Harvey on hikes sniffing all the multitude of scents he comes across along the trail. He also enjoys his loving, caring humans! Jenny
Great video Athena..use full tips. We have a lTibetan Terrier they were bred to herd sheep in the Mountains of Tibet. They have large flat paws ideal for herding in snow and their hind legs are the same as a rabbit which allows them to jump up mountains spring in and out of hills and valleys. The Tibetan Monks kept them and they were protected by the people. They believed the spirits of the dead monks were re born into the dogs. He is our ideal hillwalking companion.
Beautiful vlog Athena in a lovely area of the country with lots of good sensible information. For information I would mention that flexi leads come in various sizes and weights dependant on individual dog weight, the pro being the longest and heaviest, also on a legal and safety point all dogs should be secured when travelling in a car for their and your safety (this is a legal requirement and you could be fined if stopped by police, or worse if involved in an accident).
Athena, it's nice to see how caring you both ate towards Oslo😊 you both will be good parents🥰
Are not ate😅
Aw thank you ❤️
I love Oslo!
Great video. My last dog was a Rottweiler. He had his own back pack. When we went wildcamping he'd carry half the tent and his food !! He was so fit and strong. Now have a Parsons Russell Terrier. He's very lean with short hair and really suffers in the cold so he's got an array of coats. One thing I would mention is think about their paws on rough ground. My Rotty had ruffwear boots as I found that particularly on certain peaks in Scotland there were many very sharp small stones around. BTW my Parsons has done Crib Goch and a couple of grade 1 scrambles
Aw amazing and thanks for the tip!!
Oslo looks a happy and healthy dog:))
Another fab video Athena, I bet Oslo absolutely loves it in your new home with all the fells to run in and most importantly the scents! You're advice was very good, I've seen countless dog owners being quite irresponsible sadly, me and Rachel have been bothered by dogs when we've stopped for lunch loads of times and their owners often turn out to be real arseholes! lol The worst instance I witnessed was in the Quiraing when a couple of people let their german shepherd off and it galloped right to the bottom of the fell and worried a lamb in a gully for everyone to see. Absolutely apalling. you know Oslo has an instinct to chase so you're responsible by keeping him on a lead but there are so many people out there who simply don't seem to care! Anyway have a lovely evening! - Martin
Thanks for the tips walking with your dog...I have a Border Collie called Mr Douglas we walk most every day around 5 miles at local beauty spots we even do street walks but there only a couple of miles ..we do visit Scotland and are heading back that way in June cannot wait..we are not walkers such like yourself we just cover lower ground levels perfect for us ..Douglas wears a harness but I do love Oslo's harness so will be investing in one before we go away...Oslo's ears flapping in the wind so cute...Thanks again take care out there .. " ORDERED ONE "
Great video :)
So lovely - My favourite video so far - Thank you from all the hiking doggies ;-*
Great video!
Hello new sub here, Oslo is such a handsome boy and so well behaved, he has great humans by his side, thank you for the beautiful views
Thank you, and hi! ❤️
Great vlog Athena, so sorry you lost your brother but I bet he’s so proud of the life you have given Oslo. What part of the Lake District were you walking in? We have our first ever trip to the lakes in late September. We have a couple of days near Glenridding and then 2 more near Ambleside
2 AM treat for me 🌻
I can highly recommend a 'dicky bag' for a portable poo bin. its a zippered thick neoprene pouch that I clip to my dogs harness or my backpack and keep her business bags in until I can find a proper bin.
That sounds like a good idea! Thanks for sharing 😊
Very useful Athena, thank you 😀 hopefully our Greyhound will understand..........😁 I can see you are very careful with Oslo ! 👍🏻
Beautiful video! Where is trail you are hiking on? :)
watching this from my dogless flat in London :)
So sorry about your brother. 😢❤️
Beautiful video as always😍 he’s such a happy pup with you both! Also, which mark is your vlogging camera? I think there’s 3 Canon g7x’s?
Thanks for the great video. I have a few questions. How old is Oslo now? Also what about COWS? I'm really concerned about walking through cow fields with a dog because cows don't like dogs and can get aggressive if you have a dog, even if it's well behaved and on a short lead. How do you manage this? There are several dangerous cow attacks on humans every year in the UK. I steer well clear of any areas where there are cows roaming but that does limit walks quite a lot in the UK. My staffie prefers playing with his ball to long walks which I think he finds a little boring. I get such a kick out of seeing Oslo's such obvious love of the open countryside and long walks. Its a good dog for you guys! Oh one more question. Finding shade! Isn't that hard in the hills? There aren't many trees. My staffie gets hot really easily and I really have to pick cooler times and shady walks so as not to overheat him.
Great video.
What jacket was Oslo wearing? I'm looking for something just like that for my Mini Schnauzer, Rigby. Thanks.
Lovely video, love Oslo. Did you go up to Red Tarn through the old mine workings out of Patterdale?
Beautiful video. Oslo is just gorgeous. I wondered if you had any advice on planning routes please, I have a dog the same size as Oslo but he doesn't jump and as a single person I have often come across fences in the Peaks where I live that are either too small for Merlin to go under or to high without someone to help me lift a 36kg dog.
Lovely video...👍. Just a point re retractable dog leads...only use a tape style one and only ever attach to harness and never collar. And always hold the handle and don’t fasten it you as he could pull you over and cause an accident....also if you get chased by cows you need to be able to immediately let him off to run away😉👍
Love adorable Oslo, sadly I can't have another dog because I have a hyper nervous rescue cat who actually hates me.....it's a work in progress! My son bought me a book, "How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you", a mildly disturbing yet amusing read!
First, the place you hiked is beautiful. We rescue dogs or do they rescue us? We rescued a puppy last year and she is great. I do think she rescued me
Bless you, what a horror to lose your brother.
If you don't mind me asking Athena, which camera did you use specifically for the outdoor scenes in the video, was it all through the R6. That footage is amazingly crisp with practically zero distortion, and panning didn't seem to pose any problems. Keep using that setup, please!
It isn’t as dog friendly here in the states. You can’t hike with a dog in most national park I’ve been in...Yellowstone, Tetons, Bryce Canyon, etc.. Now that we have this awesome little Border Terrier, we gear our hiking trips around areas we can. The areas are just as beautiful and have fewer people.
There is an area in the Snowdonia National park where dogs are banned to protect ground nesting birds. Few miles South of Bala. Not sure if this is for shooting in which case I would ignore it or if it is for conservation then I would respect it. There is a section of the Pennie way that has no dog signs, put up by people who want to shoot birds, just ignore it they have no legal right to ban dogs.
My dog loves wearing a pack, lets him know we are going for a long walk. He can carry 4 days of food and treats. I don't make him carry water, he drinks from any available water source or I carry it. 2 years ago we did about 450 miles along the Pennine way, OK I know the Pennine way is not 450 miles long, but I did walk from my home in Cheshire and I got lost a lot😒. Poor eyesight due to Cataracts and a dead phone. The eyes are now sorted😁
what blue waterproof trousers are these at the beginning?
Oslo fan clue ahead I think 👍 What little star he is 😋
He got so many treats on this day haha!
Hi Athena, your latest video seems to have been removed - I do hope all is well?
Noticed that too!!
Hi both, thank you so much for asking. All is well 🙂 I’m just deciding the best way for me to share pregnancy content and decided I might have spoken too much in the last vlog about it and it was a little unbalanced. It’s a tricky thing to navigate so I made the video private, but will be back with another next week 😊
@@RambleFamily Phew
Great video Athena,one question i re hiking in the snow with your dog ,are there paws subject to frost bite,never thought about it till someone said severe and prolonged cold can affect the pads , whats your take on that.
