We had tickets to a music festival in Vancouver and finally decided that is was okay for both of us to go. Since we have had Ernest, we have been tag team travelling - most of it has been for work. We used a dog trainer/sitter who does agility (no, ernest did not have to do that), but it was a great experience.
Usually, we have a in- housesitter, but since Ernest needs someone to let him out more frequently, we decided to take him somewhere.
She had a really nice set up and a great backyard and good place for him to land. While he was there, she worked on stopping him from bolting through the door ahead of us and taught him a few manners. She showed us how to keep up with the training, which was great to see. He seemed to have survived the experience and she said she would have him back, which was a relief.
We both have a work trip in August to San Diego, we were going to take Ernest with us, but decided it was too much and too hot, so we're going to drive him to see his sister and the rest of his posse including his beloved sheep in Goldendale. Ditto when we go on a driving vacation to the southwest in September.
How do most of you handle traveling when you can't take the dog? Do you get dog sitters or take you pups to a kennel?
