I've traveled for a short time before but this was with friends and no dogs. I'd appreciate any tips on keeping him safe and keeping me and him out of trouble.

So last time I was at the library at New year's, there was a no dog rule. Is that still in place? @Cornelius Vango will travelers with pups be a problem? I know some people have vehicles and whatnot but some don't. Will leashes be okay?

I get it. Everyone loves your dog/cat/rat, "he/she is the sweetest thing alive" they say. You know the truth, though. Your little lovely pet is a douchebag. Let's complain about the little assholes we love dearly here! I'll start: Cujo is such a fucking housie scum. He loves me so dearly when...

Just seeing what everyone else has had success using. For me I've been using ruffear palisades dog packs for mine. If you can get any ruff wear gear for your dogs I highly suggest it. Anything you get from them basically has a lifetime warranty and they will send you brand new stuff. I have...

Hi, everyone. My name is Linda, just recently turned 52. Living in my van with 2 dogs, whom I dearly love. Tired of boiling to death when my older dog decides to climb in the driver seat BEHIND me! He's still pretty much a puppy, just turned a year old in May. I am trying to find out the best...

What's the difference from hitchhiking solo and hitchhiking with another person? Are rides the same or less likely? Just wondering

Do you get people call cops on you when you leave your dog in your van? I live in camper van, all winter and still in the city, so it's got air and fan in the summer and open windows all over of course. I mean, I'm not stupid and would never leave my dog in dangerous conditions inside the van...

I want to learn all I can because I am now homeless

Hello there! I'm Izzy. I met a wonderful couple and their dog Manny (not sure about spelling). His name is Bill and I want to call her Hellen or Holly, but my memory is bad. They were driving an Audi Quattro wagon. They rescued me from Grants Pass and the rain. Bill was going to Portland to buy...

Hello everyone, I've been a casual fan of this site for the past years, and for the first time, I'm planning a hitchhiking trip. Also first time in the States. I'm looking for the advice of experienced travelers about my journey plan...

Just thought I'd share a few photos from my wanderings around Mt Tibrogargan (Glasshouse Mountains, Queensland, Australia) back around 2014 with my mate Peta and her pup Aura. It's a gorgeous place - a lot of disused 4x4 tracks, plenty of wildlife (birds, kangeroos, snakes etc) and some fairly...

Over a month ago, we had 4 dogs; A Dogo Argentino, a Red Heeler Boxer Mix, a Pit Bull, and an Australian Shepherd Boston Terrier mix. 3 males and a female. Anywho! My husband went to go pick up a car we had put money down on, and was gone for just over 25 hours. In that time, I made $308, which...

Reposting this from Reddit/r/vagabond: Attention: looking for a theif. My friend Jesse Carlson was in a hitchhiker ride in Georgia , when he took a piss at the gas station, they drove away with his dog, gear and banjo. Happened an hour ago. The guys name is Seth, he is 28, and has a tattoo of...

Just a little something I'd like to mention after some recent occurrences in The Slabs... If you travel with a dog, TAKE FUCKING CARE OF IT. This includes, but is not limited to: - Shelter. Domesticated dogs can be more vulnerable to inclement weather than us two-leggers. If you can't provide...

By kids, I mean children. We have a 2.5year old and a 4.5month old... have been settled for a while and have acquired many other beings to take care of including goats, chickens, dogs, and a cat. We love our homestead, projects, and being mostly self-reliant, but feel trapped. The most...

Hey everybody, just posting so people know I exist. I quit a dead end job in Philly to explore my options off the east coast. Not there yet, I got hung up in Florida training a pup for the road. I'm kicking it around Tampa on a friends couch for maybe another two or three weeks, then I'm setting...

What a strange continent we live on where our best friends are made to sit outside of the establishments we use (or not even!) , or are restricted from buses or even certain outdoor areas. Dogs would be so much better behaved if we didn't leave them locked up daily to wallow in their pent up...

Last I heard from she was in ocean beach San Diego, then San Diego jail now she's in central California prison! Anybody know what happened to my road dog Laura Copeland!?!?!?

I've had a lot of free time lately now that I'm not on the road so that's why I've been spamming y'all with my photos and travels and everything. :p Since I'm a student, the only thing that keeps me from running out of lecture halls every day screaming is that I fit in travel as much as I can...

Since we're all going to the same destination, I figured it would be a good idea to put all the ride share / road dog requests for the jamboree here in this one thread for easy reference. Make sure to post where you're coming from, your mode of transportation, where you're headed afterwards...

Not sure where to post this, made my dog a jacket the other day.

I am planning an expedition into the heart of Central America. I'd like to hitch from British Columbia to Costa Rica and back. Im wondering if anyones had any experience crossing over borders, on foot, with their dog? I understand the certification needed for the US border, but I hear it can be...

I'd like to take my dog hopping, but im worried the noise of cars clanking around would be detrimental to his hearing. Dogs obviously have hearing much more acute than our own, and even I still wear earplugs sometimes, so im wondering whether or not the noise would be a problem. Advice?

http://mashable.com/2016/02/25/kids-read-shelter-dogs/ <edit - added text - wanted to add there's an adorable vid at the link, Tude> The Humane Society of Missouri is rolling out a new program, which not only acquaints shy dogs with friendly humans, but also helps young kids with their reading...

Im about to head out to Kansas from Southern California and I have a german shephard who is my other half. I couldnt stand leaving her here. And im just wondering if theres anyone whos ever took a pet with them before. Any advice would be appreciated greatly! Thank you so much!

I know all dogs have there own personality's but over all in your opinion which breeds or cross breed can handle life on the road best like walking long distances getting lifts off unfamiliar people and stuff like that

I heard the term street commands for dogs on this site and thought that sounds interesting so what are some street commands for dogs and what are they used for

I'm going to summarize - notice was put out all over the internet - I do not have the full story of return yet but hey dog is back home and owner is recovering from his wounds. Owner is thankful.

So, i had intended to meet up with my buddy who had left Pennsylvania a few weeks before me out west( this was a few months ago now too). he was boogying getting good rides with truckers and I ended up putzing around like I do, motels, chilling in my tent due to rain and general lack of knowing...

Hey guys, I'm thinking about hitchhiking/ ride sharing ect from the US through Mexico to South America. Bringing my dog along, he's a 5 year old lab mix, been by my side since 4weeks old. I'm currious what anyone knows about crossing the borders in Central America with dogs as well as crossing...

So I picked up this skinny scrawny black dog on the side of the road in the middle of no-fucking-where Missouri. She was infested with bugs (ticks, fleas, worms, all that jazz) and I was pretty sure she had parvo. But 4 months later, she's sleeping on my feet in New York. I've been slowly...

Hi i am posting to see if there might be anyone in the area that might be able to help us. Our dog sid is at slo county animal services. 2 homebums teased him and got bit. They declared him potentially dangerous and are giving us 30 days to find a place to put a dog kennel or that has a 6'...

Mark from NOLA. Just an easy going guy looking to get away from the noise and read some books. I'll be at Slab City in time for the jamboree. Looking for good times, and a good crew to roll with. Or maybe I'll just slum around the Slabs for a while after. Who knows. I will now spice this...

I have done a good deal of hitching around the country but have always been by myself or with another girl. I have never had a problem catching rides and usually get pretty far just getting a good ride with a trucker. I am about to head west on 40 out of NC then up through colorado. I will have...

Hi all.. love the site! Am a student of knowledge, and this looks like a place with a wealth of information. A small bit about me, in my 40's, widowed, the blinders have come off and I buck the norm, always have. Wish to learn from you guys. I bought a van 6 months ago with the...

Hi! I am looking to go on a hitchhiking adventure. I have only gone hitching once when I was 19 around the east coast (not for very long). I was introduced to hitchhiking after living in anarcho/feminist collective house in Hammond IN, we let a lot of travelers come through to wash/rest/hang...

Heya! So, I'm Koalie and I've been living in Eugene, OR through the Winter but am looking to getting back on the road. (I spent last year hitch hiking and rubber tramping and settled in OR for the past 5 months) I will be leaving to go to Tochtli Fest with a friend in June and then to AZ and...

Hey guys, My partner and I have decided we aren't done traveling so we are putting the homestead on hold to sail around for a year or so. We are seriously looking for boats, and are curious about size. We want something easy enough to sail single handed, yet big enough to comfortably house 2...

Hey, I'm Leetch. I've hitched for a long time before, (always with a male road dog) and since I owed my best friend lotsa dollars, decided to come back home and work for a while to pay her back. While I was here I made a friend. College kid, really clean cut, kinda dweeby lookin', can hardly...

Hey folks! I've hitched a lot for the last few summers. Got a knack for it. I know what to expect, what the good spots are, what to look for, the basic things, all that. In the winter I house up, though, and this winter I found myself, quite accidentally, with a job, a boyfriend, and well... a...
