Have any dog friendly visitor suggestions? We have a place to stay tomorrow through Saturday. Looking for park suggestions, walks, hikes, picnic spots and other things to do with two dogs: a very calm pit mix and a border collie / frisbee dog. We've been to the dog park on Riverside by I-35 and plan to visit it again. We're in that area and have a car. We want to jog the trail around Town Lake with them too during the least busy time.<br> <br> Besides that I don't really know what else could be fun options for us. Can you take your dog to Mt Bonnell? Isn't there a place in Zilker? Do you know any good trails like the Town Lake one? Isn't there some frisbee golf places around where the dogs would be welcome (on leash)? We're open to nearby Central Texas towns as well. <br> <br> Of course we want to observe all leash laws, curb all poop, and don't want to take our dogs where they're not welcome or annoying to other visitors. Are there places we can sit outside with our dogs and have coffee or beer? I imagine city ordinances may prevent this but I'm wondering if there are some casual exceptions. <br> <br> Any and all good places where we can let the border collie off-lease to catch frisbees would be great. Again, we want to be respectful visitors, not pushy entitled dog owners. Both dogs are well trained, well socialized and monitored closely by me, the dog mom. Thanks for all your help and suggestions. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.115148 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 11:32:58 -0800 Austin dogparks dogs hikes picnics walks dog food sugar http://ask.metafilter.com/5052/Dog%2Dpeeing%2Don%2Dpeoples%2Dlegs Why has my dog started to pee on people's legs in the dog park? [more inside] He's only started doing this the last couple of times (twice) at the dog park - he'll go up to a person and lift his leg. My wife or I have caught him and reprimanded him, but would like to make sure this becomes a thing of the past.<br> <br> He's a two year old huskie/german shephard mix and is usually very well behaved, if a little high strung. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.5052 Sun, 01 Feb 2004 13:55:51 -0800 dogparks dogs urination drobot
