Travel

English Toy Spaniels are very portable. They are happiest when they are with their humans thus they enjoy "going".

Many hotels/motels now accept dogs but I find that the LaQuinta Inn and Suites is the most gracious when we arrive with our group. The most important thing is to inform the desk clerk when making the reservations. I always say that we will be arriving with our companion pets since few are knowledgeable about the size of an ETS.

 All four do just great in our single engine airplane. They show no distress from the noise or the altitude changes. Arnie likes to look out the window but the others just sleep.  It is safest to transport dogs in kennels or some kind of restraint.  As some of my pictures show, our gang is not confined on trips. The exception to this is when I have the top down on my car. I like to use a harness with a short leash for each dog.  Finally, it goes without saying - do not leave these little guys unattended in a car. Their short muzzle makes them very prone to heat. It is also very important to keep them on a lead when out.
