Here are some incredible spots to take Spot, from beer gardens to wineries with “barkuterie” platters, off-leash parks, dog-friendly trains and — ahem — doggy manicures.
It’s an increasingly common – and awesome – refrain in the Bay Area. The weekend has arrived and the plans you make will be way more fun if Max or Bella can tag along.
A former marine animal trainer, Cartwright switched to canines about a decade ago when he moved to American Canyon and started working in winery tasting rooms. Through Dog-Friendly Wine Tours, he and his wife and partner, Bulah, take dog owners and their leashed, well-behaved pups to dog-welcoming wineries, like Napa’s Regusci Winery and Sonoma’s Gundlach Bundschu.
Best part? Free training tips. He once rid a golden retriever of a leash-pulling habit in the time it took the owners to drain their cabs.The pate-style treats at Mishka Dog Boutique in San Francisco are covered in a thin, vegetable marmalade made from freshly-squeezed organic vegetable juices. A lawyer by training, Rosenblatt started making premium dog treats about eight years ago while nursing her weak Yorkie rescue back to health . In addition to the treats, which are made from turkey, beef, chicken or lamb, Rosenblatt also sells hand-knitted cardigans, tweed jackets and lux dog beds that are the envy of every Marina pooch.
As one of the more popular kayak spots that caters to dog owners, any given day brings pups out on the water — or in the water, swimming behind. Do they enjoy the small-watercraft experience? In canine thinking, it’s better than the alternative. Dogs are encouraged to wear floatation devices with handles, so you can haul them back in, if they go overboard. “It goes around the neck and then over on top of the back. There are clip-on straps that can be adjusted that go around the belly,” says Mitch Powers, manager atDog kayaking is best for small to middle-sized hounds. “If you had a Great Dane or a Saint Bernard, it’s going to be challenging in terms of the space on the kayak.
