@turbo
it seemed to me that it was something like that. His plumpness comes exactly from the brought treats, which he knows well how to get

Has anyone been to Triglav with a dog? Which route to choose? The dog is quite big, weighs about 40kg so carrying it far is out of the question

Hard to pull this off, I think; a week ago there was a dog up there they carried it in a backpack the whole time

This is tormenting the dog, how will it go up and down the ridge, and usually so many people at the top, and scree and sharp rocks aren't suitable for dog paws. I would never take it because the animal will only have problems, nothing else..

This is completely inappropriate and unnecessary. And I'm not on the side of those who oppose dogs in the mountains. But a dog doesn't belong on a path like the one to Triglav. Period. It can be very dangerous to the owner, itself and others, and even more so if it's big!

@tol: the dog is our family member and we go on trips together...that's why I want to ask here if anyone has already gone with a dog and how it was...then we'll decide if we go to the top or not. the dog has enough stamina, but we definitely won't go somewhere we think isn't suitable for the dog.

You reach Triglav from all sides via climbing trail, do you think that's suitable for a dog AnjaK? Let someone wait with it at Planika or Kredarica if you want to take it along.. that's not for a dog, really, I also like meeting some pooch in the hills, but not where you have to climb?!

For a couple of hours tie him at the hut, prepare lots of water, maybe even convince the staff to check every half hour if all is ok, you meanwhile dash to the top and back... I think the pooch should handle a bit of loneliness.. anyway definitely not with him to the top..

really couldn't go up.. the dog can't grip the pitons in almost vertical wall... to Kredarica maybe, if going from Krma or Pokljuka... sharp rocks most of the trail, so really not the most recommended

yeah probably we'll do it so that the dog goes to where no climbing is needed. Don't think we want to reach Triglav with dog at any cost now. Just curious which path is most suitable to go with dog (no need to reach the top).

| _sandra_28. 08. 2012 11:50:50 |
don't take him to the top, but everywhere to Planika, Kredarica or Dolič there's scree or rocks, so paws will hurt for sure.. when do you plan to go, if I'm around sometime then I'll gladly watch him when you jump to the top

I join the opinion of the others that with a dog to Triglav absolutely not. But mandatory to put the dog in protective "booties" for dogs, I know they can be bought in specialized mountaineering shops.

I've already gone at least 10 times on the path from Ljubelj to Preval when a small doggy wanted to avoid crossing wooden steps. She jumped, hit the wall that bounced her over the edge. If she had booties, she would have slipped down, but she managed to climb back. Since then I go by the road.
I would think well where to put booties on the dog. I would agree with Maja.

AnjaK, are you one of those who consider Triglav a little stroll? Sadly there are more and more of you like that. Because the path to Triglav is not an excursion, as you put it.
So you have two choices: either don't go to Triglav if you can't go anywhere without the dog, or go up without it.

@GregorC: I didn't say going to Triglav is a piece of cake...
Nor did I say I'm going 100% with the dog to Triglav. It was just an informative question, because I wondered if anyone goes up with a dog at all or which path towards Triglav is most suitable for going with a dog and as I said reaching the top isn't necessary for me...first it's that the dog enjoys walking and running normally and not that it becomes torture for the dog and owner and everyone present.
We've already been on several ascents and we're not taking the dog on a tour for the first time.

I was two years ago with a golden retriever on the summit. The ascent and descent we did in one day. Approach was via Planika and to the ridge. But true, the dog must be used to walking on rocks (mine is, as it was already on quite a few ascents) and the owner himself must be skilled in fast walking or climbing, because the dog has a faster climbing pace than we might like. Also watch out for rocks that you quickly trigger in such ascent. And one more tip: don't go on weekends or July and August (too many scared people on these paths!!)
