There you go. I think the most important thing to be gained here is that
dogs can travel quite easily on trains. Travel without fear and the dogs
will be fine.

Hi,

when I have traveled by train before, I would open the door and heel the dog
after me.  After a while, though, he got used to ti and would lead me
through.

all this crazy snow we weather going on. This will be my first time
traveling on Amtrak with Benson my guy dog. I have a sleeper room and would
like to be able to go to the dining cars for meals. How do I go between the
cars with my guide safely. This is something I've done with the cane before
but not with my dog.
