Any advice for owning a dog OTR?

This was a team. A husband living in truck also.

 

Always shut down at rest areas. Much cleaner, so you don’t have to worry about a pet picking up some ignorant fools chickens wings he threw onto the ground from his cab or from stepping on nails or pallet splinters from lazy drivers that sweep their trailer out right out onto the lot. Plus, there’s usually walk ways or even a small trail so you both get exercise. Be mindful of ticks after those walks obviously.

 

I love google earth, you can find little trails and paths you can take the pooch for a stroll on. We have a few favorites all over the place.
EDIT; And obviously, clean up after your pooch. I have a rest area I stop at and on a road behind it is a farm with a nice path. It has a gate with a sign on it so I didnt go in. One time the owner saw us and wanted to know what kind of mutt mine was, golden doodle, and saw the poop bag holder hanging from the leash. He said as long as i use it and clean up after her we can walk there anytime.

 

You want one of these. My dog loves rolling in dirt more than life. Can't imagine not being able to blast him with compressed air after.

 

Mine doesn't roll in dirt, but she loves to play fetch in wet muddy fields....

 

I had my dog on the road with me for 3 months straight. I'll never have a dog in the truck again. He had the runs twice and oooo boy it kept everything I had to not kill him

 

Mine got that once , never made a mistake in the truck tho. She would start whining and grabbing my hand. I'd stop and take her out and let her do her business. Felt bad, she would NOT make a mess in the truck.

 

Poor baby, hopefully you didnt go ballistic on her, or him. Nothing she could have helped.
And usually our fault for feeding them crap.

 

Dont unless youre willing to give it the exercise it needs
