Weimaraner Dogs
LOVE Dog Beaches!

Dog beaches are great fun. With just a little planning, you can have your weimaraner dog at the beach for a fun-filled day. Here are some dog on beach safety tips and pointers...

Weimaraner dogs just LOVE to run and play on beaches! And, more and more, the tourism crowd is recognizing that people like to take their dogs on vacation—hence, dog friendly beaches are becoming more common.

If you think about it, dog friendly beaches are really just a giant playground for you and your dog. Running and playing with your dog at the beach is a great activity—it's a healthy activity for both of you—physically and mentally!

And, in addition, your dog on beach activities will help to socialize your Weim. He will get to interact with other dogs and with new people!

Most dogs love going to the beach. A trip to the beach, even for just 30 minutes, is a great way to get those Weimaraner wiggles out.

Your dog will be ready for relaxation when she gets home—after running through the sand, and jumping in the water!

Dog Beach Etiquette

Advocates for dog friendly beaches work very hard to keep designated off-leash sections of the beach open to the public. It’s important to remember that off-leash dog beaches are a privilege.

So that public beaches are clean, safe, and fun for everyone, there are certain guidelines that should be followed.

When in doubt, take a look around and see what everyone else is doing.

Clean up after your dog.
Bring your own bags, just in case. Do not bury your dogs mess in the sand, pick it up!

Never leave your dog unattended.
Your dog could get lost, or may end up in a confrontation with another dog. Just like you wouldn’t take your eyes off your kid at the park…don’t take your eyes off the dog.

Maintain control of your dog at all times.
Your dog must be well behaved and must listen to your verbal commands.

Abide by the leash laws.
The majority of beaches that allow dogs do require them to be leashed. You may be fined by officials if you disobey leash laws. When leash laws are ignored you risk the privilege of having an off-leash dog beach. Where dogs are allowed to be off-leash, we recommend keeping the leash on until you reach the wet part of the sand.

Be considerate of other beach goers.
It’s unlikely that you and your dog are the only ones on the beach. Don’t let your dog go where it’s not welcome. Keep your dog from trampling over sunbathers, and small children.
