If you're dog isn't heavy, you shouldn't have any problems.  There are a few 6ft stiles that have to be crossed, we had to lift, gt's huge dog over those - and luckily the dog was smart enough to walk back down the other side of the stile.......

Then there was the issue of the dog sinking into the bog of donard, and it couldn't get itself out, and gt had to jump into his waist to get it out!
