Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am planning our trip next summer, and we will be bringing our dog. She is a German Shepherd that is well trained and calm on a leash, but really loves running in her fenced in acre backyard.
Instead of keeping her on a leash for the days of travel, I was wondering if anyone knew of rest stops or areas from IL to FL that had fenced in dog run areas? Leash walking is fine, but if she could be free to go off leash, I know that would really tire her out before we drive more!
Or am I the only one that thinks her dog might like a nice free run after being cooped up in a car for days?
I think I am going to start a new business - opening up my backyard for people to take their dogs when on trips. It might be lucrative!
