Labradors are such a joy to be around
that we’re likely to want them with us all the time, so when it
comes to travel we can’t help but want to take them along! With
planning and practice it can become a wonderful routine with many
benefits for all.
A Labrador’s legendary companionship
can be especially welcome when traveling alone or in unfamiliar
surroundings. With their superior intelligence, sense of smell and
hearing, they can alert us to a variety of things we might miss such
as unusual noises, wildlife and even suspicious acting strangers.
Although not known as “guard” dogs, Labs are capable of
detecting danger. They are better known however, for having their
gregarious nature that makes them natural “ice breakers”-they
often introduce us to people that we might otherwise not take
the opportunity to meet.
Traveling with your Lab not only
provides that comforting link to home but also an excellent
opportunity to socialize your dog and to expose him to a stimulating
array of different scents. After all, they love smelling new stuff
like we love a great new book!
Print off our handy checklists to help
you prepare, then hit the road for memorable adventures with your best
friend by your side!
