Dogs And Fingerless Gloves

I keep some fingerless workout gloves in my vehicle for working with strong dogs in tough terrain. So, here is what I mean. 

I was hiking with a big dog, my dog, in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. He was a very strong dog, and the trail was crisscrossed with blackberry vines. The challenge: managing him on steep grades, having to reach out and pull the thorny vines out of the way without getting the thorns in my knuckles or palms, and then wanting to keep my dexterity with my fingertips (to manipulate water bottles, snacks, gear, etc.). 

I find the best option is to use workout gloves. They are tough enough to do all of the above and because they are not insulated, they don't increase your body temperature. And if a dog pulls hard, the leash doesn't cut up your hands.
