Article Title: Dog Friendly Hotels 5 Tips For You And Your Dog
At Dog Friendly Hotels
Author: Dee Power
Whether your plans include a beach resort, downtown hotel, or a
mountain lake retreat here are 5 tips to keep you and your dog
happy at dog friendly hotels.
1. After checking in, take your dog for a short walk around the
grounds, going back to your room several times. Your dog will
leave a scent trail and feel more comfortable in the strange
surroundings. Go down the hall, up the stairs, out the front
entrance of the hotel and down to the pool. Your dog is curious
about its environment just like you are.
2. Whenever you take your dog outside your room carry a small
spray bottle of cleaner, a few paper towels and of course
plastic bags for cleanup. You can pack this in a fanny pack to
be less conspicuous. Always take it with you, if you don't, you
can be sure that's the one time your puppy pal will go potty.
3. Never leave your dog in the hotel room alone, even if it's
crated, or otherwise restrained. The dog may not be able to
destroy anything in the room if it's confined but it can bark
and howl. And that's exactly what the dog will do when
separated from its family. Most dog friendly hotels insist that
dogs are not left in the room alone. Don't be tempted to run out
even for five minutes.
4. Even if your dog is well trained to walk with you off leash,
keep him/her on the leash at all times. Most cities have leash
laws. And just as importantly it's common courtesy to the other
guests. It's hard to believe but not everyone loves dogs. Small
children can be easily frightened by dogs, even if your dog has
the sweetest nature, the child doesn't know that.
5. Pack an extra leash. If it's time for a potty break that's
not the time to go frantically looking for Rover's leash.
There are many great dog friendly hotels. You and your dog can
have a fun vacation.
