My dad had an exceptional dog that would climb trees after squirrels. He'd back off a distance from the trunk, run hard at the tree, turn 90º and continue running up the trunk until he could get a leg over a limb and then start pulling himself up. He'd go as far as he could after the squirrel and when it proved unsuccessful (yet again) he'd just bail out from the tree top. A few shakes after he splatted and he was good to go.
