Hunds (1 Viewer)

Am crossing the Channel in a fortnights time for a three week break. Thinking of going to Germany for a change. But we have a (small, well-behaved) dog with us. He has travelled often to France and been well-received.
What is Germany like for hunds? Are they allowed on public transport? In bars and restaurants?
Any advice appreciated from caninophiles who've been there .

I can’t be sure but I seem to recall there is one European country that requires dogs on buses to be muzzled.

You may find these journals useful
In short, followed the Danube on an Ebike in Germany and stopped at every appropriate moment where there was beer available.
There is even a doggy beach which gets a review on the way back around their Lake District.
"Germany previous" journal may interest you as well
There is a Monastery on the Danube where they do the worlds best beer or somethning like that which is a bit of a good day out with Danube cruise through the gorges on the way back

Bavarian Thrournal June 23 (and part volcano route)

Having done a few journals and one "live" one and listened to the feedback that it is more preferential for most to enjoy a thread with interaction rather than page clicking, I am going to try the Thrournal, a thread and journal and better...

The Germans are very dog-friendly and will allow you into all restaurants and beer houses with them.

However, if you are planning to go on public transport don't make the same mistake we did last year by not buying a child ticket for our little dog.
It's a 60 euro fine on trains. We were lucky and only got put off the train by a very angry Train ticket master and told to buy a ticket for the dog before we got back on the next train.

Apart from that its great taking your dog to German we have done for 8 years now.

Agree with the above, we had our Lab with us for over two weeks in Germany last summer. On that trip I'm sure the dog was one one at least of the following ... bus, boat, tram, train and a gondola. No problem with any of those, but yes, I'm sure we bought a child ticket for the train.

Can't remember her having to wear a muzzle at all in Germany, but we have a "halti" we use when out around town, which looks a bit muzzle like, as she doesn't pull wearing that. The previous year in Spain we did ensure we had a muzzle with us at all times even if she wasn't wearing it, as Spain is much less dog friendly (but not awfully so).
