hello! do you have any fantasy/historical jungkook x reader fic recs ?

hello lovely!! i’m so sorry i missed this yesterday :( i was actually planning on reorganizing my tumblr because i feel like no fics are ever going to be able to be found my blog LOL so hopefully that’ll be done soon!!

as for the fantasy/historical fics.. i’m honestly not too sure what “fantasy” (do demons count..? soulmates..? werewolves????) typically includes so i’m just going to include a bunch of fics that hopefully fit in :”) here are the first ones that i thought of + summaries included in their main posts!

also.. i’m sure i missed a lot of amazing fics (mainly because i’m dumb as hell and don’t really know what can be included in “fantasy”) and would like to apologize in advance!!

@inktae ’s entire masterlist (they have a lot of fantasy fics!)

while this isn’t just jungkook recs, @ficswithluv had a fantasy category a few weeks ago!

@kpopfanfictrash ‘s jungkook masterlist

@fortunexkookie ‘s jungkook masterlist

one shots!

énouement - @littlemisskookie Mulan!AU

War is Hell, but it’s what you had to do to take your brother’s place. Of course, between the days of Hell are little slices of Heaven you’d call your Captain, Jeon Jungkook.

midas - @gukyi

jeon jungkook was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and the power to turn whatever he wants into pure gold. you were born with healing and invisibility powers but without a cent to your name. so when you’re plucked off of the streets for pickpocketing and assigned to be his minder as punishment, you realize you’re going to have to overcome a lot more than class differences if either of you are going to get what you want.

i will not lose! - @jimlingss Magic!AU

A single bet - use every means to make Jeon Jungkook fall in love with you.

a piece of the moonlight - @/jimlingss Mulan!AU

For your loved ones, the people who are waiting at home, the people who have died - you will fight. And sometimes to fight means to sacrifice: who you really are and the person you really love.

dynasty - @/jimlingss Historical!AU

It’s no secret that the Emperor is infertile. But even so, a girl is selected every three months and brought to become his concubine in hopes of conceiving the next heir. This time, it’s you. And in order to prevent execution, Jeon Jungkook might just aid you in conception.

game of temptation ft. knj, myg, kth - @/jimlingss Succubus!AU

As a succubus, your beauty is unrivaled and shaped to tempt mortals. But it’s still hard to resist Taehyung, and there’s little you can do once you’ve been coerced to do his bidding for him. This time, you find yourself entering the affluent Kim Household as a housemaid. And these poor humans don’t know your intentions are far from being angelic.

knot today - @kinktae

(IDK IF WEREWOLVES COUNT BUT JERHFBDSKNZX THIS IS REALLY GOOD!!)

When your first heat approaches and you are left partnerless, who better to turn to than your alpha roommate that you’ve spent the better half of your life hiding your feelings for?

ego - @luxekook Harry Potter!AU

(..i also don’t know if HP counts LOL)

in which jeongguk is a cocky lil shit and the reader has to take him down a few pegs

stumbling - @hayjeon Prince!AU

an ask in their inbox regarding the prompt: hii! so the royal wedding of prince harry and meghan is today, and since my bias is JK and since i’m such a sucker for royal stuff, can i reuest a fic of bts all being royal of 7 different kingdom, and all of them being invited to jin’s wedding and the girl (oc) is also invited and kookie met her there, and eventually took an interest at her? the girl is also royalty from other kingdom. thanks!

werewolf!jungkook - @/hayjeon

an ask in their inbox regarding the prompt: Werewolf!jk? (im sorry ik it’s overused and unoriginal) where he and his mate have pups to take care of and they’re quite a mischievous bunch!

there for you - @cupofteaguk Hogwarts!AU

Jungkook is always known for doing things unapologetically, and it makes sense given how almost nothing gets under his skin—almost nothing, but maybe there’s an exception that takes a form of a muggleborn with the shy smile and quirky spells.

say you won’t let go - @/cupofteaguk Soulmates!AU

You’ve been eighteen years old for ten years when Jungkook first moves in

new romantics - @/cupofteaguk Hogwarts!AU

Jeon Jungkook will go down in history as one of the best Quidditch players that ever graced the Hogwarts scene. It seems like he always gets what he wants—his life is very predictable in that sense. What he cannot predict, however, is the newest weekend employee wiping down the tables at the Three Broomsticks.

a cinderella story - @suhdays Modern Cinderella!AU

you are forced to work multiple jobs as you live under your stepmothers roof. unable to move out and strive for complete independence, you do what you can in order save enough. turns out, as a college student that is harder than you thought. so, you distract yourself by joining online chat groups in which you meet a boy that goes to your school. that boy? none other than the rugby star himself, jeon jeongguk. it doesn’t prove to be an issue until he asks to meet you at an upcoming halloween party. he’s never noticed you before so why not hide yourself in order to live your dreams, if only for a moment?

explorer - @1kook Alien!AU

Jungkook does not want to impress the frankly tyrannical ways of his planet on you. He just wants to stay here and keep your couch warm for you, hold your hair back when you wash your face in the morning.

rottenfolk - @junqkook Faerie!AU

a look was as hazardous as chemicals, a kiss as perilous as poison; his eyes and lips felt akin to a cure, but he was purely venom.

the young wolf - @/junqkook Game of Thrones!AU

he was promised to another, meant for another to hold and to love and to kiss. but when his hand lingered on yours for a moment too long to be proper, and when his eyes held yours for a beat too long to be a passing glance, you allowed desire to creep into your veins, to take root inside your heart. perhaps before you might have been permitted to love him freely. perhaps he might have even been promised to you instead. but war was no place for the wants and desires of two people, no matter how much they yearned for it to be.

the lighthouse - @rubycoast S2L!AU

(im not too sure if this is considered fantasy but its one of my favs!)

you and jungkook had one thing in common: you were both lost souls stagnant in the search of some fulfillment. the one of many differences was that your story had been written on your sleeves, while jungkook’s was a story needed to be unriddled.

black magic - @hansolmates Magic Uni!AU

a witch with an ambition for learning, you stumble across a crushing spell in the middle of the forbidden section. of course you have to try it out! what happens when the crushing spell not only has jeon jungkook crushing on you, but you crushing on him?

the sea & the storm - @jamaisjoons Fantasy!AU

the sea is a powerful mistress. she is calm and beautiful. she is mysterious and alluring. she is a force to be reckoned with. above all, however, she is lonely. until she meets him. fantasy au.

the lionheart’s oath - @sugaxjpg Knight & Princess!AU

There was no happy ending, no dragon slayer to save the kingdom and get the princess — there was only him: Jungkook. A simple orphan that was lucky enough to be invited into the castle, a former homeless thief that had found shelter in the form of an elysian heir. Now, after twelve years by your side, he was about to lose you to the world you sought to explore.

ghosts just wanna have fun - @/sugaxjpg Psychic & MedSchool!AU

When Jungkook discovered that he could communicate with dead people, the last thing he expected was that they would be there to give him romantic advice.

wartime child - @ktheist Wizard!AU

raising a baby in wartime isn’t easy. but when your baby starts showing signs of magical abilities, you’re forced to ring up the only other person you know he takes after: jeon jungkook.

birth of an empress - @/ktheist Dragon Slayer!AU

partners for three years and friends for longer, jungkook thought you’d remain so until he saw you with the knight at the merchant’s trade.

alternatively, the friendly neighborhood wizard trying to propose to the infamous dragon slayer in the middle of slaying a dragon? now, that’s classic.

series/two shots!

fear in your eyes - @/gukyi Werewolf!AU

(again, idk if werewolves count but hifksdjcx !!!!)

there’s a werewolf in that forest behind your house, they told you, and he’ll eat you before you can even beg for mercy.

the worshiper series - @/jimlingss

Long ago, there were gods who resided in Heaven -- existing to watch over and protect the universe. Each of them had their own flaws, trials and tribulations; some which were more sparing than others, but these are their stories...

a promise of freedom - @/jimlingss Wartime!AU

War is cruel and its inhumanity has not spared you. Captured by the enemy, you were brought to the front lines to heal their wounded. But after one night of saving a particular man’s life, he swears to fulfill any wish of yours.

one year, my love - @/hayjeon Historical!AU

You forge a marriage contract with the strangely speaking man who suddenly stumbled into your town with memory loss, but little do you know that he’s actually the lost Crown Prince, and a lot can happen between a married man and woman in one year.

demigod!au drabbles - @/hayjeon

an ask in their inbox regarding the prompt: i have a supernatural au prompt! how bout daughter of hades/loner!reader and son of zeus/bully! jungkook?

into the woods - @/junqkook Goblin!AU

getting hurt and stumbling upon a goblin in the forest leaves you completely at his mercy, though you aren’t sure if that’s necessarily a bad thing.

lionheart - @/junqkook Magic!AU

as a sorcerer, it is of the utmost importance that you keep your magic a secret from everyone. when you become prince jungkook’s servant, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep your identity hidden; especially when you fall in love with him.

a royal exchange - @/hansolmates

she’s the man!au where the princess impersonates her brother yoongi in order to finish his degree on time while yoongi is thrusted into princely duties. jeongguk is in the mess purely through room arrangement

knight!jungkook x princess!reader - @/ktheist

a series with 27 parts!

that’s all i can think of off the top of my head right now :(( not gonna lie, half of these probably don’t even fit into either of those categories and i know there are so so so many amazing fantasy/historical fics out there!! i wish i knew them all but i hope this helped a little bit! if anyone has any fic they’d like to rec, feel free to send it to meee :)

and finallyyyyy i leave my following page open for viewing as well so you can check out all of the authors i follow!! please show all of these authors (and many more) some love! <3

Y’all look at this dog that my parents are considering bringing in as our next pet.

(Image description)

A lanky looking Italian greyhound puppy with blonde fur, her ears are a little floppy and she looks like she’s probably not a purebred, her face is more square than you usually see on Italian greyhounds. She’s sitting in the lap of someone wearing a dark grey sweater, the picture doesn’t show the person's face but it’s a teenage girl.

My younger sister's friend is taking care of this pup right now, her name is Jupiter. I don’t know the whole story. No idea why this dog is in the care of this person, but they’re looking to give her a forever home and my parents are currently considering it. We’ve had two dogs before. One yellow lab we got as a puppy, he lived 15 years and my parents said no more pets.

One mixed small dog we got in her old age from a friend who could no longer take care of her, she was also in the teens when she passed away and we only had her a few years. She never quite got used to us. My parents said no more pets.

That was last year, I think. And it was quite a few years between those two dogs. Now this pup is here, and it seems like she will be a free adopt for us if we say yes. I won’t know for sure until next month because the girl taking care of her right now is in the process of house training her.

I hope my parents say yes. My dad apparently melted at the picture, so it sounds like it’ll be a yes from him and unless my mom can think of a really really good reason we shouldn’t do it, we will most likely get the dog. We have a huge backyard and none of us really do much out there. We're all older now, two of us are adults and two are in high school and we don’t fit on the swingset, our old trampoline is broken, and we never did finish building a new better playset, it’s just a wooden platform that looks risky to stand on.

So why not put a dog who loves to run in that big backyard? She'd love it! We could have a reason to go out there just to play fetch. We'd all get more exercise with an energetic dog around. We'd all feel less stress with a dog to cuddle. My mom is often home by herself with my sister who's also an adult but has some health issues she’s overcoming and has spent a lot of time in her bed all alone in her room all day long with nothing to do but knit and all her friends have moved away. Talk about a good motivation to get my sister out of her bed more often! She’s had a hard time adjusting to the idea that her health will never be normal again

Not that it ever was, tbh, a mere cold used to put her out of school for days at a time. She’s been miserable since she started having vertigo problems and there’s other issues she has no solutions for even though she has good meds for the vertigo now. But I think if she had a reason to move around more she would have an easier time adjusting to work schedules when she’s ready to do that again. She was like "I’ll move around when I have a job again" and I said "you should really do some walking and other things before you go spending hours standing/walking around at a job, you have to take this gradually" and she can run with the dog but she can stand in the backyard with the fresh air and throw a ball for a while.

I’ll only get to enjoy the dog when I’m on break but my sister can have so many benefits from having a dog around! And so can my mom, who is home most of the day too and often ends up sitting around with nothing to do, or at least she gets herself distracted by social media instead of doing things she could be doing, I’m the same way. The dog can motivate her to do more active things too. Same for me when I’m home and do nothing but sit around.

So I hope we take her in! I know having a dog is not super easy, we've done it before, the hardest part is knowing it’s just temporary and someday we'll have to say goodbye and that’s gonna suck.

But why shouldn’t we just take her in and enjoy the time we have with her anyway? She looks like an absolute sweetheart!

What I learned this year..

Well this is going to be my - What did I learn this year? Some things I learned are nothing more than reaffirmations - some good some bad. But I am pleased to say I did actually gain some insights into who I am and what I expect out of others and life.

Where to begin, that’s really the tough part. Difficulty arises because it’s not like life is laid out in some neat bullet comments, in outline form, with a great section of references. Since life is messy, I expect this to also be a bit mess, haphazard, or at the very least, it’s’ going to jump around a bit.

The biggest achievement from this past year was the fact that I learned to be more independent and less rigid, especially when traveling. This year saw me take a road trip, traversing lands I have never traveled before. To most this isn’t that big of a deal, but for me it was a huge hurdle to overcome. I have never been one to travel by car. I find it to be uncomfortable, boring, and have never liked it. Add to the experience that I now have to consider health issues and it really makes the process more difficult.

This past fall I bought a new car, in Arizona, which was the excuse for my road trip. I flew to Phoenix, picked up my car and drove back. While the experience wasn’t magical, it was very positive. I was able to see parts of the US I have never seen before. I was able to finally meet a Facebook friend. I tested the limits of my car’s fuel tank - thank god the readout was correct. Almost everyone I met was friendly, no matter the size of the town. I learned that podcasts are a great way to pass the time. I also learned when I get fatigued it doesn’t matter how much caffeine I drink, sleep is the only thing that will make the fatigue go away.

Being that the experience was positive, I will most likely be taking a road trip this coming summer/fall - destination to be determined.

On the dating front and really relationships of any type, I learned that humans continue to disappoint me. My feelings concerning people are this, if I reach out to you two times to do something and both times the response is - Hey I’m busy, let me get back to you - after the second time it is on the other person to get back to me. Any relationship has to be built on mutual respect and communication. If one side is not willing to participate, there is nothing I can do about it and I refuse to be forced to chase someone down and goad them into seeing me.

Of course I understand people are busy. But I also know that I let people know just how difficult it can be for me to do things, because my health can be limiting. So when I reach out, I’m not expecting someone to drop everything, but I am expecting not to be discarded like a piece of junk mail. Now maybe I misread the situation and thought the person really was interested in doing something. If that’s the case, I really need to readjust because this problem plagued me in my failure at dating and I failed in my general, what I thought were friends, relationships.

My response to the continually getting crapped on by others, I’ve become even more independent and don’t have a problem with going out by myself. The other is to stop reaching out to others. I can only get burned so many times and to be honest I’m sick and tired of getting burned. Also, I don’t have the energy to chase people around. You either want to do something with me or you don’t. No one can make someone else do something they don’t want to do - at least I won’t force someone into that situation. I’ve learned a good book can be read no matter where I am.

So what am I looking forward for this new year? Well, I am planning to spend a lot of time in Chicago this summer. I became a season ticket holder for the Cubs. I’m very excited to spend time in my favorite big city, watching baseball, and just exploring the city. Finding a place to rent will be my top priority after the first of the year.

I really need to decide where I am going to live. The past two years have further cemented that North Dakota is not the place for me, especially if my goal is to be happy. Sure, I enjoy that Bismarck is quiet, I’m close to medical facilities, and that there are becoming more things to do. While those are positives, Bismarck and North Dakota are too conservative and the views here are stuck in the 1950s. Sorry, not sorry - but this state is too racist and close minded for me. I will need to take some trips to different parts of the US to find out more about the people and what is available to me.

I want to take a train trip out west and loop back around the southwest US and back up to North Dakota. I’ve only been on one train ride, while in Spain. I’ve always heard about how beautiful the ride is to the west coast and down the coast. I didn’t do it this past year because of all the fires. Let’s hope the fires stay away this next year.

My greatest wish is that my health improves, but that’s not going to happen, but one can wish…

I look forward to more time spent with my trusty pups, chasing squirrels and barking at the sneaky yard ninjas. They are the best buddies anyone could wish for and without them I would be lost, even though they both can be naughty AF.

I’m hoping to find something that truly inspires me - whatever it might be.

Lastly, it sure would be nice to meet someone. I’ve set the bar so low that I am not really looking for “the one”. I’m looking for someone who doesn’t smoke, can carry on a conversation, is self confident enough to actually initiate conversation and doesn’t need me for her to enjoy life (that’s not as easy as you would think), believes in progressive ideas, and is willing to travel (travel means to other countries and not just to the Twin Cities). My life won’t be ruined if I am unable to find someone. I just think it would be more fun to do something with someone. Since I have many health issues, I’m quite confident my life expectancy will be 30 years or less. I mean, that’s potential for a whole other life after I kick the bucket - if you ask me that’s quite positive.

My Twitter Reach is Directly Proportional to Silliness

I’ve been tweeting since January 2007 (and am infasionable not yet a Deleter). Big deal.

For all the times I have crafted a tweet thinking it would put some ripples in the pond, or make commentary, I can say the sum results of all this is crickets.

No biggie.

So it gives me some smile, when a tweet that went out with no thought at all comes bouncing back.

Office Ipsum may replace Hipster ipsum as may favorite filler text generator https://t.co/MC8qD4ehfs

On the other hand, I am proud of Bicycle Ipsum cause I hand built it https://t.co/TFzurf493Q

— Alan Levine ? (@cogdog) August 9, 2018

Surely (and yes I am calling you Shirley) you know of Lorem ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

I tend to reach for it on web site projects where I am still waiting on (or never get) content to put into my designs and demos. I fell in love a few years ago with Meet The Ipsums especially Bacon Ipsum.

When working on the site for the Mural UDG project I tried Taco Ipsum but found Hipster Ipsum was more fun.

It’s one of those things where you see a crumb on the internet floor, and look under the rug, and see giant rabbit hole.

Today’s came around because I am doing stuff for a site that will be used in a government agency. The closest I came was the Ministry of Ipsum but its generated from U.K. government documents, and baffles me.

Thus I ended up with Office Ipsum

You get great stuff like (I like breaking it up into non equal length paragraphs)

Beef up core competencies, clear blue water. This is a no-brainer back of the net even dead cats bounce make sure to include in your wheelhouse. Time vampire.

It’s not new to me– back when I was working on a project for Creative Commons, the same thing happened. I decided to roll up my JavaScript sleeves and built CC IP-SUM – a text filler generator that pulls content from the Creative Commons FAQ.

This yields nuggets like:

Additionally, jurisdiction ports of earlier versions of CC licenses often contain versions of the moral rights language designed to account for moral rights legislation in a particular jurisdiction. If you give $50 or more, you can get a special-edition t-shirt only available to CC supporters.

To avoid confusing those who may mistakenly believe the work is licensed under standard CC terms, we must insist that in these instances licensors not use our trademarks, names, and logos in connection with their custom licensing arrangement. Creative Commons licenses provide an easy way to manage the copyright terms that attach automatically to all creative material under copyright. In addition to our licenses, the CC0 Public Domain Dedication may be used on databases to maximize reuse of databases.

The database model refers to how a database is structured and organized, including database tables and table indexes.

This came handy on a project I’m working on for a bike/hike trail system. My clients were just not writing me trail descriptions, so I harvested a bunch from some other site, and created Bicycle Ipsum (yeah I re-used the same HTML5 Up theme, sue me).

Spin the crank on this and you get:

The climb up from Marlette Lake trail is pretty tough, but relatively short. The start of the dirt road is marked on the Google Map directions on this page.

Normally most of the hikers don’t make it to Otero Upper so that section is a little more clear and you can let it hang out a little more. Few sections rutted out but great experience for my first ride there! This trail is the cherry on top when riding Porcupine rim!

Sections have the tendency to get rutted out. Hymasa is a bit easier, so if you are unsure of your skill, start there, and then climb back up Hymasa to do Captain Ahab.

The trails all run parallel to the Fountain Place paved road so they can be shuttled by car. Some of the densely covered trails are damp, but still rideable. Logs embedded in the trail have been installed to signal technical terrain.

Rad!

Why use someone else’s generator when you can crank your own? My buddy from Maricopa, Sam asked:

Would love to create a coffee/espresso version of the ipsum filler, any where you can point me to the direction to create that? #thankyou

— Sam Fraulino (@samfraulino) August 9, 2018

Well heck yes. Those two examples above are on github (see the repo for CC IP-SUM and repo for Bicycle Ipsum).

But I also posted a plain, unformatted Simple Ipsum generator, see https://github.com/cogdog/simple-ipsum. The demo for it generates stuff based on a list of my blog post titles.

So what is needed? Well you need a lot of sentences, each in quotes, and separated by commas. This makes the array that the site reads in from the file source.js at https://github.com/cogdog/simple-ipsum/blob/master/docs/assets/js/source.js

You just need to get your stuff in the same format. Like if my stuff was lifted from lyrics from songs by The Who, mine might look like

window.all_lines = [ "We'll be fighting in the streets.", "With our children at our feet.", "And the morals that they worship will be gone.", "And the men who spurred us on.", "Sit in judgement of all wrong.", "They decide and the shotgun sings the song.", "You're alone above the street somewhere.", "Wondering how you'll ever count out there.", "You can walk, you can talk, you can fight.", "But inside you've got something to write.", "In your hand you hold your only friend.", "Never spend your guitar or your pen.", : : ];

window.all_lines = [

"We'll be fighting in the streets.",

"With our children at our feet.",

"And the morals that they worship will be gone.",

"And the men who spurred us on.",

"Sit in judgement of all wrong.",

"They decide and the shotgun sings the song.",

"You're alone above the street somewhere.",

"Wondering how you'll ever count out there.",

"You can walk, you can talk, you can fight.",

"But inside you've got something to write.",

"In your hand you hold your only friend.",

"Never spend your guitar or your pen.",

];

You will want of course hundreds of lines.

And your Who Ipsum might generate stuff like:

With our children at our feet. Sit in judgement of all wrong. And the men who spurred us on. In your hand you hold your only friend. And the men who spurred us on. You’re alone above the street somewhere. We’ll be fighting in the streets. We’ll be fighting in the streets. Sit in judgement of all wrong.

But inside you’ve got something to write. But inside you’ve got something to write. Never spend your guitar or your pen. With our children at our feet. You’re alone above the street somewhere. Sit in judgement of all wrong. Never spend your guitar or your pen. You’re alone above the street somewhere. They decide and the shotgun sings the song. But inside you’ve got something to write. But inside you’ve got something to write.

Never spend your guitar or your pen. Sit in judgement of all wrong. You can walk, you can talk, you can fight.

Why would anyone spend time doing this?

Because we can.

While Twitter burns and shrivels and twists in the wind, I’m aiming on the silly.

17 of Your Questions About Hiking with Small Dogs Answered

People generally don’t expect to see small dogs hiking so I find they have a lot of questions.

I don’t mind answering. I’ve been hiking with my Dachshunds for 15 years and I’m passionate about opening people’s minds to the idea of small dogs as hiking companions.

I compiled a list of common questions I’ve received from our blog readers and social media followers over time. I figured if one person had the question, other people were wondering too.

Except for a few minor edits for clarity and grammar, the questions are unchanged.

For a few of them, I was asked several different ways about the same topic. I either chose the question that was the most detailed or combined my answer from two different questions.

Q: “Can I start hiking with my 11 week old? Are short hikes and carrying her when she gets tired ok?”

Unfortunately, no. That’s too early. Her bones and joints need to properly develop first.

For more information, read my blog post “How Old Should My Puppy Be Before They Hike?“

Q: “How to Start? Any Tips?”

Some general tips:

Build up fitness to walking at least 30 minutes (60 is more ideal) 4-5 days a week

Start out with short, easy walks in the woods and increase the difficulty from there

Stop hiking before your dog gets too tired (note: Remember that you likely have to walk back to the start so it’s better too turn around to early instead of too late)

Keep progressing as your dog’s ability and interest allows

Check out my article How to Start Hiking with Your Dachshund, and the hiking and camping tips section on my blog, for more information.

Q: “Our dog HATES the harness. She runs away from me every time we are going out. Any suggestions on getting her more used to it? Once it is on and we are walking she seems to be fine.”

If your dog is walking in the harness it once it’s on, I would:

1) Give her lots of treats and praise for being near the harness

Start by setting it on the ground and rewarding her for standing by it. Then reward her for looking at it or sniffing it.

The idea is to get her to associate the harness with good things.

2) Progress to slipping it over her head

The best way to do this is to hold the harness, put a treat in your hand, stick your hand through the harness neck hole and let her smell the treat, hold the harness still while pulling your hand back through the opening and then give her the treat once it’s over her head.

The idea is to reward her for slipping her head through the hole herself.

I also think it helped my puppy get used to the harness in general by putting it on her for 30-minutes at a time in the house (supervised) and letting her lay and walk around in it. She still doesn’t love it but she’s starting not to run away when I try to put it on her.

Q: “Our Dachshund likes to explore every square inch of terrain, whether that be hiking trail or neighborhood sidewalk. How can we keep her going on the trail without stopping every five inches?”

I received several questions related to this topic.

Stopping every few minutes to sniff is a Dachshund thing because they are hounds bred to hunt. It’s probably common in any scent hound breed.

However, I believe that any dog can be trained not to stop every few feet when you are trying to actually get somewhere.

While Summit and Gretel like to stop and sniff occasionally, they come right along when I give a little tug and say “let’s go!” They’ve just learned to take my queues and know when we are on a mission to get somewhere.

Q: “How do you keep your Dachshund’s back safe on hikes?”

Although Gretel was diagnosed with IVDD a few years ago, I don’t treat her like she’s fragile.

I don’t advise that every dog with IVDD hike or do other physical sports but it IS possible for a dog with back issues to live a happy, active life.

I highly suggest talking to, and working with, a rehab vet or trainer if you want to keep your IBDD Dachshund active.

I follow the same “back safety” rules on the trail with all my dogs, whether they have had prior injuries or not.

We avoid an excessive number of steps by either not hiking trails that I know have a lot or by carrying them up and down the stair section of the trail.

I also don’t let them jump of anything much taller than they are long. I find that they tend to treat it like a big step that way instead of jumping down.

If a ledge is taller than that, I will lift them going down.

I’m not so worried about going up because the impact when jumping to a surface higher than they are currently puts significantly less impact on their muscles and joints.

Along those lines, I lift them up and down any time there is a situation where I think it’s likely they could fall and twist, which is one of the worst things for a Dachshund’s back.

I will note that they are quite capable of scrambling up ledges and rocks and otherwise staying on their feet. I rarely have to lift or carry them.

A strong core will also go a really long way to protecting a dog’s back. Our rehab veterinarian recommended these exercises to keep Gretel’s back strong after she was diagnosed with IVDD.

Q: “How long are dog’s feet ok in the snow?”

That depends on the dog, the ambient air temperature, the length of time your dog will be walking in the snow, and whether your dog has furry feet the snow can stick to.

I’ve found that if the air temperature is above 30F, my small dogs Summit and Gretel can hike in the snow for at least a few hours.

The main key to them staying comfortable is to keep their body core extra warm by wearing a jacket.

One of the ways that dogs dissipate body heat is to push it out through their feet. If their body temperature is slightly above normal, it’s likely that their feet will be able to stay warm enough on their own.

However, Summit and Gretel don’t have hairy feet so powdery snow doesn’t stick to them.

We also don’t hike in winter if the temperature is below 25F.

I generally don’t recommend dog boots for hiking but they are sometimes necessary in the winter. Read my article Does Your Small Dog Need to Wear Boots in the Snow? to help determine whether your dog needs them or not.

Q: “I have one pup who gets her pads torn or worn easily. Any suggestions?”

We’ve rarely had foot problems so I don’t have a great go-to solution.

I make sure to walk my dogs regularly on hard surfaces to toughen up their foot pads.

I also put Musher’s Secret paw balm on their feet if we’re hiking in snow or where I think they need some extra protection.

I’ve also heard good things about Tuff-foot but haven’t tried it.

Q: “I have a Dachshund-Jack Russel mix. I’m scared he’ll run off a cliff trying to chase something. Is my fear real?”

Yes, your fear is real.

Most dogs, even if they were not bred to hunt like both a Dachshund and Jack Russel were, can’t resist chasing a tasty smelling, fast moving squirrel.

It’s completely possible they could chase one to the edge of a cliff.

While they likely wouldn’t jump off the cliff after it, many cliff edges have loose rock and vegetation on them so a dog could slip off the edge.

Q: “My dog hates riding in the car. Any suggestions?”

The issue is usually because a dog gets carsick or is scared of the car (or both).

It can usually be overcome with positive conditioning and car sickness remedies to calm the dog and settle their stomach.

My Article When You Want to Go Hiking but Your Dog Hates the Car discusses how to tell the difference between motion sickness or anxiety and what to do about it.

Q: “How far can you hike with your small dog?”

This is another question I received several times in different forms.

Summit is a puppy so this is her first hiking season. The longest hike she’s been on was just over 5 miles. She shows no signs of getting near her mileage limit.

The longest I’ve hiked in one day with Gretel was 11 miles but it was part of a 3-day, 30-mile backpacking trip.

Small dogs are more capable that most people think. Check out my article How Far Can My Small Dog Hike for more information about appropriate distance.

Q: “Are all hikes safe for small dogs?”

Personally, I’ve very rarely encountered a trail that was too difficult for my small dogs.

Gretel, and my first Dachshund Chester, even hiked one of the steepest trails in the Seattle area. Twice.

However, every dog is has a different fitness level and athletic talents. For that reason, this is a complicated question.

For sure, any hike classified as a “scramble“, or over a Class II hike, is probably approaching too dangerous for any dog.

There are also other considerations, besides terrain, that can make a hike dangerous for dogs.

These things could include:

Trails that skirt high ledges or steep drop-offs

Trails that are known to attract a high number of poisonous snakes or dangerous wildlife

Hiking any trail on a day that is too hot (we don’t hike if it’s over about 85F)

Q: “Are there any dog breeds you know of that shouldn’t hike?”

Since I hike with my Dachshunds, and many people think they can’t or shouldn’t hike, I’m hesitant to call out any breed of dog that “shouldn’t” be out on the trails. We’re all about breaking stereotypes after all.

I’ve seen dog breeds out on the trail that I didn’t expect made good trail dogs and had my beliefs challenged.

With that being said, it’s my understanding that one needs to be extra cautious if hiking with a short-nosed (brachycephalic) dog breed (like pugs and bulldogs) as they can encounter breathing problems.

The most important thing is to know your own dog and respect their limits.

Here is a list of small dog breeds that make the best hiking companions.

Q: “Do you ever carry them in a backpack? We haven’t seen one that would safely support a Dachshund’s back.”

Ah… the search for the golden unicorn.

I’m aware of almost every backpacks and carrier out there designed for carrying small dogs and have tried several.

The fact is that an ideal one for carrying Dachshunds doesn’t exist. One is kind of left choosing between the lesser of “evils” if they need to carry their pup.

Check out my list of dog backpacks that are the best options in my opinion.

Q: “How do you know when it’s too much and they are too tired?”

There are several ways you can tell if your dog is getting pushed to their limits and getting tired.

Signs can include:

Starting to walk slower

Lagging behind

Excessive panting

Flopping down on the trail

Limping

For more details, please read my article about how to tell if your dog has had enough hiking for the day.

Q: “I live in rattlesnake and mountain lion country. Any precautions you take regarding wildlife?”

I didn’t have detailed recommendations for this question because we only recently moved to an area that has mountain lions and rattlesnakes.

We also live in a State where Grizzly Bears are uncommon and black bears are unlikely to attack.

The general precautions I take are:

Hike with my dogs on leash so they can’t stray too far (and look like prey) or stick their nose in holes without me knowing

Know where rattlesnakes are likely to be and keep an vigilant eye and ear out for them

Remember to try and look as big and scary as I can, and slowly back away, if we encounter a mountain lion

Watch for all wildlife and try to keep my dogs from barking at them and irritating them or stressing them out

When I shared that I was new to dealing with rattlesnake issues, a couple readers messaged us to offer their tips:

Make a lot of noise wherever you go to let snakes and wildlife know you are coming (so hopefully they will wander off)

In snake territory, step over obstacles like rocks and downed logs before your dog does so you can check out the area first and hopefully scare it off before your dog startles it

Q: “Do you have any hiking or camping gear for small dogs that you would recommend?”

I’ve been hiking with my Dachshunds for over 15 years and camping with them for almost as long. Throughout the years I’ve learned a lot about what gear works best for small dogs and for us specifically.

Some things that I always bring with us when hiking are:

If you want more details about our recommendations, please check out these articles:

Q: “I have been using the retractable leash. What would you recommend?

Personally, I don’t recommend retractable leashes. Especially not for hiking.

I admit I used one with my dog Chester for a long time but that was before I was aware of the dangers, and the dog behavior issues (like running up to another dog without permission), they can invite.

We use a 6-foot static leash.

My favorites are made from Biothane (coated webbing – “vegan leather” and waterproof) or climbing rope.
