Dogs in Wilderness

If they say your dog isn't allowed somewhere please don't be a jerk about it and bring them in anyway. If it's 80 degrees out don't think a happy compromise is to lock him in your car in the sun with the windows cracked. Go somewhere else...with your dog. Certainly don't wait for the attendant to leave, then sneak in, you still look like a jerk. If the signs say dogs allowed on leash, KEEP THE LEASH ON YOUR DOG. If you were too lazy to leash train your dog you were probably also too lazy to teach him to walk loose without running up to every person, dog, or horse that comes by. I'm sorry, but your dog shouldn't be off leash if you have to call it's name every 3 minutes either... I don't care if your dog is "nice." All it takes is one to ruin it for everyone and next thing you know NO DOGS ALLOWED, because of someones dog that wasn't following the rules anyway. There are enough places dogs aren't allowed already. There are places dogs aren't allowed for reasons. Mainly dogs don't stay on trails, they wander where there nose goes, even if it is through those endangered orchids... Any sanctuary I've been to that doesn't allow dogs has infinitely more kinds of plants, fungi, and insects than the ones that allow dogs. There are other places that allow dogs to run off leash. If you must bring your dog, and can't stand the sight of him confined to only peeing 6 feet from you, go there... For the record I have two dogs. I follow posted signs, and get extremely ticked off about people blindly wandering around pretending their dog isn't pooping in the woods, or that it didn't just jump on me. I also don't bring them to sanctuaries with obvious signs saying NO PETS.
