Traveling with dog

Planning a vacation in early June with my dog. Don%26#39;t want to stay in a run-down motel so i think I%26#39;ve decided on the Lake Opechee Inn.

Now I%26#39;m just trying to figure out what I can do with my dog in that area. Are there any restaurants with outdoor seating that will allow dogs? Any dog parks?

Any help for traveling with my buddy to NH is appreciated.

Try dogfriendly.com. Also, google ';dog friendly New Hampshire and a ton of stuff pops up. Let us know if that helps.

another option. search for dog friendly in the box right above the main NH forum page. Apparently there have been a bunch of conversations about this before. I don%26#39;t own a pet(I just love everyone else%26#39;) so I can%26#39;t give you any specific advise but this should provide a good start.

Are they letting you keep a dog there? We do not have any dog parks here and no outdoor restaurants allow dogs. All public walking area are dog friendly and just clean up after your dog. If your pup is voice command compliant you can get away with no leash. Hiking public parks and National Forests are OK with the dog. The Flume Gorge does not allow dogs but generally we are very dog friendly. I have no problems. Maine is a very different story.

Gee, what%26#39;s wrong with Maine!? I have heard Portland is dog friendly. I%26#39;ve found a couple of dog parks online that look really nice, one at Old Orchard Beach, another really nice one in Kennebunk.

The Opechee Inn has 2 dog friendly rooms, they sent me their dog policies. At least the don%26#39;t charge extra for the dog. Most places charge an additional fee per night for a dog, most fees average around $20. I%26#39;m still trying to decide the best location. Either seaside or near a lake.

Thanks neslaw, i%26#39;m all over the internet, dogfriendly, petfriendly, you name it. I%26#39;m just looking for some real experience from people who have traveled with their dog.

Sorry, maybe dog parks are what you are looking for. I prefer walking freedom and Maine is too restrictive for me. There are no dog parks in the Lakes Region. We just walk our dogs freely.

Well, my dog is younger (and I%26#39;m older!) and off-leash is still a bit of a problem. We could go everywhere with him on a leash but that would be boring for him. I need a safe place for him to play so he can really get a work out. So anyplace that has fenced in dog parks is a bonus for me.
