Dog-unfriendly people resorts laid waste. Dogs are mad as doghell, snarl they’re not gonna’ take it anymore! Demand vacation time with their families. Grrrr!
Bloodless coups are preferred over the alternative, but no need to get mad or overrun people resorts anymore, at least not in the Adirondacks! Lake George is in the news as a dog-friendly vacation spot where dogs and their humans can enjoy the swimming, hiking, fishing, chasing, barks and crafts, lure coursing, flyball, agility, even Canine Good Citizen classes. You and your dog can play and learn together, as much or as little as suits you.
Club Canine Getaway is a place that has a truly dog-friendly program, where dogs can dine with you and sleep in your the bed. No doggy weight limits either! There are trainers, a behaviorist and a staff vet on site for your peace of mind. It’s $1000 for the week per dog, humans are free, and so are your meals. It is BYODF of course–no need for upset tummies on vacation.
Resorts and hotels in the area dedicate weeks when dogs are welcome, but check out this CBS video report by Steve Hartman–and his dog Scout–who experienced first hand the delights of a vacation without the guilt, worries, or boarding bills!
I spoke with Janice Costa, co-owner of Canine Club Getaway, who explained while this year’s dog camp is over, they may consider adding an October dog-friendly week due to the great response to the CBS report. They will announce in a couple of weeks if this will work so keep an eye on the website, but next year’s calendar is set for June 25-29.

That's an awesome idea. Not sure that Jersey would like to go, it looks a lot like work
Yes, Tashi would probably be pretty reserved too, but he might like chasing that lure, for a little while anyway:)
We were in Lake George recently and had a fantastic time! Great places to hike, wonderful scenery and just a 20 minute drive to the south is Saratoga Springs, with it's quaint downtown shopping area and restaurants – many of which are pet friendly. Just keep an eye out for the stickers on the door letting you know your furry pal is welcome. No trip to the area is complete without stopping by Sloppy Kisses for some of their incredible homemade dog treats! Happy trails folks!
Yes, I saw your post on that and Lake George did look great! I thought the dog summer camp was a pretty cool and fun idea–I know we have one available in the next state North – Wisconsin, but I don't think it's got the breadth of this one…and the CBS video was just icing…wonderful to see the dogs having so much fun!
True, not every dog would enjoy that much social interaction — Frankie's like Tashi in that regard — but it's great to know places like that are out there!
