No Dogs at Boat Launch

Do you live in Alton? If not I don't think you have any room to talk. As for the leashing and crating comments, what ever gave you the impression my dogs are ever off lead in public? Here's a news flash THEY AREN'T. As for the boat ramps they aren't busy at the time we go with the dogs which is the point. An as a matter of fact today there wasn't anyone even attempting to use the ramp which is the case most days we go.

A kiddie pool and sprinkler do not allow for water retrival training do they?[/QUOTE]

I do live in Alton Bay and very often use the public ramp instead of ours, as it is easier to utilize.

First, I AM A DOG LOVER..... however, I do agree with part of the rebuttles here. The ramp is not a place for the dogs and HAS caused problems at TIMES. It really isn't a good spot for dogs, kids or anyone else to the use and play on.

I am sure there was a reason for the new rule... and as the town goes... they don't have to ask for input from guests or property owners.

I know this sounds harsh.... I don't mean it to.... just think of it from others point of view.

I am SURE that there are MANY public places that you can go alternately for your terrier's enjoyment. As the forum... they will surely give you LOTS of idea's on safe places!
