Top 5 Dog Etiquette Rules for Pooch Parade
- Clean Up After Your Dog. Keep him from relieving himself on buildings or on the properties of others.
- Keep Your Dog Leashed in Public. Keep your dog close to your side and leashed at all times.
- Respect Other People’s Property. Enclose your property with a quality fence or use a tie-out.
- Keep the Noise Down. Loud and constant noise will eventually wear down your nerves and those of everyone else on the block.
- Take Care of Your Dog. Keep your dog brushed, clean, and well groomed.
Not all Put-in-Bay lodging allows pets, so please ask before booking. BringFido has great recommendations.
