PET PARK ETIQUETTE

• •

• • •

Miss Manners would be pleased—most of Maine’s dog parks are peaceful places. So too are its dog-friendly beaches. This is mostly due to the fact that park and beach pet etiquette is well-known, well publicized, usually well posted and encouraged by all throughout the state. If you are visiting the Pine Tree State, however, are a first-time pet park/beach stroller, or simply missed the memo about how to navigate through public pet spaces with your animal, the following tips might prove useful. The two most important things to remember are that these places are shared properties—and the goal when visiting is to have fun! Both require that you pay attention to your companion at all times, and that you get along with other pets and their owners. • According to Maine statute, anyone who uses a dog park does so at their own risk. (This is true for any recreational area in Maine open to the public.) • Also according to Maine law, any damage or injury caused by a pet is the responsibility of the owner. • Disposing of your dog’s waste swiftly is a

• •

must! (Some parks have disposable bags available, others do not. Always bring your own, just in case.) Dogs must be supervised at all times, even when they are off-leash. If your dog becomes aggressive or hyper-active or in some other way disruptive, it’s your responsibility to remove him or her from the park. Dogs must be leashed while entering or exiting the park. Most parks require that dogs carry proper identification, license and rabies tags. Female dogs in heat are typically prohibited from parks. Although tough to prohibit, “mounting” by dogs should be broken up immediately when it occurs. Dogs should be discouraged from digging holes and burying objects. Some parks have sources of water for pets. Bring a bottle for your dog to be on the safe side. Better yet, bring water to share.

These same guidelines apply to Maine’s pet-friendly beaches. What’s most important at these sites is to observe regulations regarding when during the day and during the year dogs are allowed off-leash. For example, Pine Point Beach in Scarborough made headlines in 2013 when a dog off-leash killed the chick of an endangered avian species (a piping plover). This resulted in a backlash against allowing dogs to run free at the town’s beach.

STATE PARK RULES Please observe the following rules when on state-controlled land such as the state parks. Pets must be on a leash not exceeding four feet in length and must not be left unattended. No pets are allowed on beaches.

Pet owners must immediately clean up fecal deposits left by their pets. No pets are allowed in Sebago Lake State Park Campground or Baxter State Park. For more information, go online to www.maine.gov/ doc/parks/programs.

PET-FRIENDLY COMMUNITIES THE YORKS

The seacoast area is awash in history and the group of villages known as “The Yorks” has been fortunate enough to preserve its fair share of it. York Village, York Harbor, York Beach and Cape Neddick have their own personalities and each has something different to offer. For outdoor lovers, York offers walks, kayaking, parasailing and scuba diving, plus whale-watching trips. There are bathhouses at Long Sands Beach and Short Sands Beach, which has a playground and basketball courts. York Harbor Beach is sandy and sheltered. Walk the two-mile Boat Harbor Trail, and don’t miss the Cliff Walk flanked by 19th-century homes, beaches and views. Cross York Harbor’s Wiggly Bridge, the smallest suspension bridge in the world, this leads to the Stedman Woods bird sanctuary and walking trails. Mount Agamenticus, 692 feet, provides horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking and views. As each year passes, the area becomes more of a destination for weddings, family reunions, or just a place to get away. Many of the lodging facilities have “pet-friendly” rooms or there are a few businesses in the local area where visitors can board their pets. Many residents and visitors enjoy the pet-friendly beaches with their dogs, even during the summer months. From May - September, dogs are allowed on the beach from sunrise until 8:00am for exercise off leash, but under the owner’s control. From 6:00pm until sunrise, dogs are allowed back on the beach as long as they are leashed. Nubble Lighthouse is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world and is a popular spot for residents and visitors alike. It has a small park with benches that make it a peaceful place to rest and reflect. Once a summer-season-only resort area, York has become a year-round vacation destination. The Museums of Old York maintain numerous historic buildings including Jefferds’ Tavern, the John Hancock Wharf, the Old Goal (America’s oldest jail), the Emerson-Wilcox House. This museum is located in the heart of York Village and offers lectures and special events throughout the year. It is open for tours in the summertime. Lobstering, fishing, boat building and farming were the foundations of the economy until the late 1800s when the southern Maine coast began to attract summer visitors in large numbers.

PORTLAND

“Dog-friendly,” when applied to a town or city, is a subjective term. Experts base their rankings either on the quality of dog-friendly accommodations, parks, beaches, etc., or on the quantity of those same amenities. In Maine—where we care about “how life should be” not just for us but also for our dogs—we consider both. Although residents regard the state overall as an exceptionally dog-friendly place, four areas truly stand out on the dog-o-meter: Portland, Rockland, Bar Harbor and Rangeley. In Portland, a woman walks into a convenience store to buy a cup of coffee and the clerk offers free dog biscuits for her German shepherd. Pet owners desperate to find their lost dogs tack posters on city telephone poles. A shopper in a mall parking lot calls the police to report that someone has left two dogs in a hot car. These are normal occurrences in dog-friendly Portland, which FidoFriendly Magazine has selected as one of the “50 Best of the Best in the Dog World.” Ask dog walkers at any of the city’s plentiful dog parks and you’ll find out why this coastal city more than deserves the honor: There are lots of dogs in Portland. By one calculation (developed by the American Veterinary Medical Association) the city’s dog census is close to 17,000. Portland area shelters are welcoming destinations for thousands of rescue dogs coming to Maine from other states, including Alabama, Georgia and Indiana. Annual dog events abound in Greater Portland and draw hundreds of attendees and animals. These include the Woofminster Amateur Dog Show & Cover Challenge and Paws in the Park, which this year marks the 100th anniversary of the Animal Refuge League—more evidence in itself of Portland’s dog-friendliness. One of the country’s first-ever self-serve dog washes opened in Portland seven years ahead of the curve. CNN and YouTube have both featured it. So, whether you’re vacationing in Portland or moving here, you’ll find it to be one of Maine’s (and New England’s) most welcoming cities for you AND your pets!

PET-FRIENDLY COMMUNITIES BETHEL

Vacation destinations are catching on to the trend of traveling with your pet. Bethel was recently named one of 75 top pet-friendly destinations in a new book from National Geographic, The Dog Lover’s Guide to Travel: Best Destinations, Hotels, Events, and Advice to Please Your Pet— and You, by Kelly E. Carter. Bethel is a beautiful four-season recreational area and convenient to reach...but a world away from the hustle and bustle that most people live in. Bethel is uncrowded and unpretentious. Whether you are seeking the exhilaration of high adventure or a quiet walk in our National Historic District or a stroll along our riverbank, your experiences here will weave themselves into your inner fabric. Each season provides a myriad of opportunities to connect with the natural world…and you determine the pace. “People often call asking specifically for accommodations that allow pets,” said Jessie Perkins of the Bethel Area Chamber of Commerce. The “Where to Stay” search on www.bethelmaine. com includes a pet-friendly category. Hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, vacation rental homes, and campgrounds are all on the list. With the White Mountain National Forest, Grafton Notch State Park, the Mahoosucs, and many other public and conservation lands nearby, dogs and their humans can stretch their legs on trails of all ability levels. Search for trails online at mahoosucpathways.org, or visit the Bethel Area Chamber’s Visitors’ Center to talk to their knowledgeable staff and pick up maps for selected hikes. For a relaxing stroll, the Bethel Pathway meanders along the bank of the Androscoggin River, and is an easy walk from Main Street and village shops and lodging. Pet waste removal bags are available throughout the village area from dispensers mounted on telephone poles. It’s not uncommon for dogs to meet new friends at shops around town. DiCocoa’s Marketplace, a Main Street café, offers outdoor seating in the summertime and dogs are welcome. The owner has two friendly mutts who will often visit with customers outside.

CAMDEN - ROCKLAND

According to Heidi Neal, owner of the Loyal Biscuit pet supply store (with locations in Rockland, Camden, Belfast and Waterville), this coastal area is a great place for visitors with dogs. “There are lots of places along the coast to run and swim,” she says, “and although it’s not an official dog park, you can always find a playmate for your pooch at Snow Marine Park in the South End (and the great ocean view is a plus).” Lovers of the outdoors can hike along 30 miles of trails and choose from more than 100 campsites at Camden Hills State Park or consider climbing Mount Battie or Mount Megunticook. Just a stone’s throw from Rockland are plenty of dog-friendly places to hike in neighboring communities such as Thomaston, Camden, Hope and Lincolnville. “Many local hotels and even a few restaurants allow dogs,” Vanorse adds, “and Harbor Hounds is a doggie day care where you can leave your pet for the day if you plan on visiting the local museums and attractions. Then, if Fido gets dirty while you’re off playing tourist, you can always bring him to our self-serve dog wash.” As well, visitors can find the Jean H. Kislak/P.A.W.S. Community Dog Park, located on Camden Street in Rockport, is a gently sloping fenced-in dog park, with separate areas for large and small dogs to rump around.

ACADIA NATIONAL PARK

Acadia National Park scores high marks for dog friendliness. Dogs are allowed on most of the 120 miles of hiking trails and 45 miles of carriage trails, as long as they are on a leash not more than six-feet long. Dogs are not allowed on sand beaches, in public buildings or on park ranger tours. Specific trails where dogs are not allowed for safety reasons include the Ladder Trail, the Precipice, Beehive, South Bubble Ridge, Jordan Cliffs and Beech Cliffs Ladder Trail. One exception to Acadia’s leash rule is a privately owned section of the park near Seal Harbor, called Little Long Pond, where dogs can run and play off-leash, as well as swim in the pond. A dog owner’s gem and tail-wagging favorite, local canine fanatics call Little Long Pond the dog park of Acadia.

I♥ Old orchard beach!

• Take your pet to the veterinarian for a check-up and certificate showing up-to-date shots. Also ask about sedation if your pet is an anxious traveler. • Learn about restrictions at attractions and parks that you plan to visit, as well as on public transportation. • Research international travel rules and regulations. • Locate clinics in the area where you’re staying.

Road trips:

• Pets should be confined to the back seat in a carrier or seat harness for their safety and yours. • To avoid car sickness, allow at least 4 hours for your pet’s last (light) meal to digest. • Stop at least every 4 hours for stretching and “bathroom” breaks. Be sure your pet is leashed. • Never leave your pet in a parked car.

At your accomodations:

• Call in advance and verify that they accept pets. • Check to see if a crate is required. • If you plan on leaving your pet in the room alone, turn on the radio or TV so they have background noise. If your pet makes noise when you leave, do not leave your pet alone in the room.

RECOMMENDED PET-FRIENDLY CAMPING

There are more than 275 campgrounds throughout Maine. You’ll find campgrounds that offer a “back-to-nature” approach with little more than a clearing under a patch of trees deep in the forest where you pitch your tent. Others are moderate in size with swimming pools, outdoor sports, game rooms convenience stores and bathing facilities. Some are more lavish with refined amenities, entertainment and other services. Many Maine campgrounds are pet-friendly. To help you select the campground that best suits your vacation, and pet, needs you can contact the Maine Campground Owners Association (www. campmaine.com). Maine also boasts 48 state parks and historic sites. Twelve state parks offer family camping and ten offer group camping. Here are the rules regarding pets in Maine State Park Campgrounds (www.maine.gov), which help to protect the nesting sites of endangered piping plovers and the safety of all visitors: • No pets are allowed at Sebago Lake State Park Campground. • All other campgrounds allow pets. • Pet owners may be assigned picnic or campsites in a less congested area of the park. • Pets must be on a leash under the physical control of the pet handler and must not be left unattended. • Pick up after your pet immediately and dispose of the pet waste properly.

KENNELS, DAYCARES & PET SITTERS If you’ve come to Maine with your pet, but you want to take a day trip or a hike somewhere that doesn’t allow them to come along, what do you do? Especially if your outing will keep you away overnight, you may need to find a boarding kennel, daycare or pet sitter. According to one expert, kennel designer Kay Key, suggests you ask the following questions. Does the kennel smell? • Is the kennel constantly noisy? • If the kennel accepts dogs that are not neutered or spayed, are they kept separate? • Can you see where your dog will be staying? • Is the kennel in good repair? • Are there newspapers, paper shavings or gravel on the floor? • Is there bedding in both the sleeping area and the run? • Is proof of vaccination required? • Is the kennel heated and/or air-conditioned? According to the ASPCA, here are a few things to avoid ...

Overcrowding | Limited access (pet guardians should be allowed to visit their pet at any time) | Unwillingness to meet your pet’s needs | Poor customer service | Pets left unattended. If boarding, don’t forget to label what you leave with indelible ink, including bedding (nothing that can be shred), toys, food if your dog has a special diet, medications, proof of vaccinations, and contact information, including how to reach your veterinarian in case of emergency. Sometimes though, kennels and daycares may not be the right fit (if your pet isn’t spayed or neurtered; or if they don’t like being around other animals, etc.). In those cases individual pet sitters are a wonderful option. Some lodging places in Maine will offer a list of preferred kennels, daycares and pet sitters in their area so be sure to ask for recommendations when booking your stay.

RESCUE PROVIDERS

Maine has a number of humane society shelters where residents can go to adopt a dog, a cat or sometimes a rabbit, gerbil or bird. But there are other organizations dedicated to finding good homes for animals, among them a number of volunteer-run nonprofits. Although most will not allow visitors to take a pet home with them if they are here on vacation, they remain a good source of information, especially about particular breeds. They are also excellent contacts if you would like a referral to an animal rescue organization “back home.” Betti Curran, who has been involved with Coastal Maine Great Dane Rescue in Topsham for five years, says the biggest barrier to allowing a dog to be taken out of state is the nonprofit’s requirement for a home visit. “We would not let someone take a dog without knowing the home environment,” she says. “Our dogs have already had one traumatic event. We want their next home to be their forever home.” Kim Tees of Maine Cocker Spaniel Rescue, Inc. echoes that sentiment. “We require a home visit,” she says, “so it’s prohibitive to place a dog somewhere out of state. The only way that it might be possible, but not likely, is if they somehow had a connection back home who might be able to do a home screening.” Tees has been helping to find homes for cocker spaniels for more than 20 years, and she’s proud of how far Mainers have come 20

in understanding the responsibilities involved in owning a pet. “It’s not like it was 10 years ago,” she says. More people here understand that “a dog is a commitment for the rest of the dog’s life.” For more information about nonprofit rescue dog providers, consider contacting one of the following Maine-based organizations.

MAINE-MADE PET PRODUCTS & STORES

No visitor to Maine leaves without souvenirs to take home to the family and friends left behind. If some of your memento recipients are of the fourlegged variety, there are plenty of Maine-made and Maine-themed gifts and treats guaranteed to delight any pet. You can find many of these items at shops throughout the state; Mainemade.com lists dozens of outlets for everything from cat feeding boxes to doggie boots to organic biscuits to memory-foam bedding. Some of the more popular Maine-made producers are: • All natural and organic treats in refillable tins, Fidelis Biscuit Co. • Braided durable and washable tugs for seriously intense tugging, Tug Me Toy. • Peanut butter, grain-free treats from Zelda’s Biscuit Bakery, Wiscasset. • Seaweed pet products from VitaminSea, Buxton. • Decorated dog collars and leads from the Belted Cow Company, Yarmouth. • Pet pillows, leashes and leash bags from the Classic Hound, South Portland. • Lobster treats (yes, lobster!) from Friendship Lobster Treats, Friendship. • “Woofie pies” made with carob, not cocoa, from Mamie’s of Maine, Alfred. • All-natural grooming products from Mutt Nose Best, Bangor. 24

If you’re in the market for a more high-end product, you’ll have to shop online at Dofähn, a new North Yarmouth business managed by CEO and founder Ray Paré. Billed as a provider of “designer dog accessories,” Dofähn’s mission is to make one’s home “look gorgeous because you have pets, not in spite of them,” says Paré. Everything the Sanford native sells is 100 percent Maine designed and Maine-made, from the doggie collars to the bandanas to the blankets and bowls (some for humans, too). Beds and pillows are put together by a community of Maine stitchers who work from home, using kits compiled by Grandpa’s Garden in Topsham. All the pottery items come from artist Lacey Goodrich of Laceypots in Portland. The dog lover (“I have a passion for dogs that goes back to childhood,” Paré says) is particularly excited about a new feature on the company’s website that allows customers to design their own dog beds, and have the customized, finished product shipped within days. When doing so, according to Cesar’s Way, “the secret is to coordinate the colors and patterns for your dog’s bed “into your overall color scheme.”
