You can bring your dog on the walk, but they have to be kept on the lead for a large part of it since it's through farmland. Like yourself, your dog also needs to be in decent shape. If there are cows on the route, try and stay well clear of them. If the cows start running towards you, let go of the lead and let your dog go. The cows will most likely chase your dog, which has a high chance of outrunning them. There are a couple of incidents in the Dales every year where dog walkers are killed by cows. This mainly occurs when owners don't let go of the lead.
