[nagdu] Traveling Advice

But cars can and do heat up very very quickly. Hotel rooms don't. If you
leave a dog in a car you can kill them very very quickly. Not so in a
hotel room. Why don't the hotels just say "Any damage caused, you pay
for" Actually, they do, so what's the problem?

oh more and more hotels are asking that you do not leave animals
unattended in the rooms, I have had this conversation with the hotels
when we do have our training seminars with them and be a good travel
professional we have the webinars and training and not just with the
managers but the Vice Presidents of some of the suppliers or directors
with them saying this, I have mentioned that I am with the NFB and NAGDU
and have asked these questions before and not trying to sound like I am
against everything NFB and NAGDU.

That is why I can post on this list what the industry is telling and
what I am asking.

The biggest concerns from the hotels is that to many people are leaving
there dogs unattended in the hotel rooms.

They hear winning or crying, barking.

even dogs having accidents in the rooms, they say it is against the law
to leave animals unattended in cars. They are not happy with this
happening.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!

  Again, as being a travel professional such as going on a cruise or
going to places like Disney even other hotels they are becoming more and
more Guide Dog Friendly, they know what is out there.

  I disagree!

  If tamara needs anything else from me on this for the website fine or
other information on travel I am here, I have only gotten the best
service with my dog by telling them that I had one.

  And the industry is willing ready and able to help us in the days of a
lot of places going under, airlines coming back after being told by
clients who speak up that have issues.

  TSA is working on all the issues as well, we have to work together
with them, in the old days of not telling and bringing a dog okay you
are right, but now it is become well if you let us know ahead of time we
will have the best accommodations for you what would you need from us,
an area to relieve your dog, or yes you can bring your dog on a ride at
Disney or other things.

  The only place I do not give that I am brining my dog is the
transportation to and from the airports, not needed.

  My own experience with the suppliers and them making strides to help.

  The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!

    Cheryl,
        I think it is a very bad idea to alert either an airline or a
hotel that 
    one will be traveling with a guide dog. such a practice only opens
the doors 
    to discrimination, as the presence of a guide dog is irrelevant.
Alerting a 
    place of public accommodation in advance that you will be
accompanied by a 
    guide dog causes personnel to take actions and make arrangements
that may be 
    discriminatory, such as seating in a specific place not wanted by
the 
    individual, requiring one to stay on a first floor, or other such 
    unnecessary actions. Since an airline and hotel have no choice but
to allow 
    a person with a disability to be accompanied by a service animal,
there is 
    absolutely no need to give them advance notice!

    Fraternally yours,
    Marion Gwizdala
