What animals can climb trees?
There are a few individuals of many breeds that can climb trees,
but as a whole most dogs cannot. Exceptions to this rule include
the Catahoula Leopard Dog, the Tree Walking Coonhound, Jack Russell
Terrier, and the New Guinea Singing Dog. Most dogs cannot get a
good grip on tree bark in order to dig their claws into it, so
people sometimes train their pets to get a running start and jump
onto trees. Grey foxes, although not technically dog, can also
climb trees.
