[nagdu] Leaving our dogs in hotel rooms?

Being that your dog is relatively new, I would treat the situation slightly 
differently than I would otherwise. Have you left her alone much? Does she 
seem to be okay alone? Have you left her off of tie down before? I think, 
just to be on the safe side, I would use the tie down. If she's relatively 
new, she may get nervous/bored faster. I'm not even sure that I would leave 
her alone in the hotel room.

Depends on the family member.
If said family member can't or won't treat the dog appropriately in
terms of maintaining basic house manners, this won't work, and it's
probably better in everybody's best interess to find someone who will,
or leave the dog alone, though only for a short period of time.

This is my own opinion, but if I were to leave my pup in a hotel room it
would be on tie down, or in a crate. I would also use the do not disturb
sign on the door, andin fact have left an additional sign, saying
service animal resting in room, or something to that fact. I would
personally only do it for a few hours at a time, maybe 4 hours at the
most, espically if it is a new guide. I would also leave a bone or a toy
for the pup to keep its time. But of course leaving the puppy with a
family member would not be that bad either. Just my two cents on the
matter.

Hi. I was wondering what people's experiences have been leaving your
guide dog in a hotel room and going totally off the premises for a
while? I am planning to attend at least three Kid Rock concerts. One is
here in St.
Louis, so I plan to leave Hadley at home for that one. The other two are
in Indiana and in Chicago, Illinois. The two in Indiana and Illinois are
back to back nights, so I plan to get a hotel on both nights. I am going
to the concerts by myself for sure, but not sure if my boyfriend Chris
is coming with me to the hotels or not. I was just wondering, in the
event that I travel completely alone and he doesn't accompany me, do you
think it is okay to leave Hadley in a hotel room for the three or four
hours that I'm gone for the concert? The only reason I would be worried
is if hotel staff came in, or something, but the concerts are later in
the evening, and I doubt I have anything to worry about, because they're
around 7 or so. If I do leave her in the hotel room, should I leave her
on tie down or should I allow her to be free in the room? As you all
know, I have been following Kid Rock from state to state as much as I
can for about eight years now. But most of the time I go, Chris normally
stays in the hotel room, or I left Vanda with my parents when she was my
guide. I did take Vanda frequently, but Chris usually stayed with her,
so I only really left her completely alone in the room once or twice. I
don't want to leave Hadley with my parents since she's a new dog, and I
think giving her the travel experience on whichever mode of
transportation I choose to travel will be a good travel experience for
the both of us. Taking her to the shows is completely out of the
question, because I have front row seats for all of the shows and I feel
that if I buy $80 tickets for all the shows, I'm there to enjoy the
show, not to watch everyone's every move and move her every second. The
music would be way too loud and I don't want her to get trampled by
drunks either. So I was just wondering what your experiences are.
Thanks.
Chasity who is ready to rock with her man Kid Rock!!!
