[Travelandtourism] Amtrak

[cheryl echevarria]

no but the trains make stops and a lot of the times when I have traveled the 
conductors ask if the dog needs to be relieved.

You may want to let them know when getting on the train when you give them 
tickets, especially if it is more then 4 hours, make sure you break you dog 
prior to getting on the train and right after, and don't feed you dog right 
before you leave.

when I travel with maxx I feed him early in the morning and take him to the 
bathroom prior to leaving the house, he is usually good for a few hours. 
unless it is a more then 4 hour train ride then I tell the conductor that at 
the next stop can I take the dog, they call up to the person driving the 
train, and they wait, but you just can't go anywhere, at your school they 
teach you to  break you dog on the street keep up with this or your dog will 
only want to go on grass, and you may not have the luxury, keep busy bags 
with you and make sure you clean up after as well.
