Dog Travel Needs

dog travel

It's hard enough to pack for you and your kids when you go away as a family, let alone remembering what to bring for your dog. If you take what's on this list, you're sure to be in good shape.



MUST HAVE

Use only positive methods to persuade, or teach, your puppy what is expected of him. This philosophy is similar to that of raising infants and toddlers—punishment usually serves little purpose and may actually do harm.
