my 2 mutts only come to the crags if someone is there to walk them around/play with them. as of late though, i wont' take them to a place like smith or any other crowded area due to user conflict
most times, the conflict arises from some dude whose dog just isn't friendly, and besides, alot of people don't like dogs.
i don't want to fuck up anybodys good time, so I just leave them at home to hump in the garage. besides, your pooch would much rather go for a hike, jump in a lake, and piss on a tree instead of pissing on someone's rope bag.
