Pet friendly historic places
We just finished our first trip in the RV and the best of it was that the dogs loved being with us. On the way back we had a pillow between us where they took turns sleeping between us or enjoying the...

Cerevisaphile, you have made some very astute comments. We lived in Germany for many years and I have to say it is a very pet friendly country. But I did observe,on many occasion, where dogs were not appropriately trained and caused disturbances at many a restaurant. And same for children at historic sites. This really isn't, in my opinion, and American problem, as I have seen it in my travels in many places.
We take our dogs to many places on our travels, but often leave them if we feel its inappropriate for them to be around. We have never had a problem. If you choose to bring your pets with you for a day trip, why not leave them in a doggie daycare? Or ask if there is a kennel provided onsite...like the Biltmore in Asheville has about 8 free, locked outdoor kennels. We did eat at an outdoor restaurant at the BIltmore with our dogs (Lab/border collie mix) and they just slept under the table until we were done. A guy came up to us, identified himself as a owner of a dog training business and asked how our dogs were trained! Funny! But nice to see that people do appreciate when they see good behavior...training pays off!
Every country has people that don't train their kids or pets, its not just here...trust me!
And as far as kids being seen and not heard....hmmm, well, I enjoyed my kids asking questions and getting involved...manners were also taught.
Please don't kid yourself into believing this is an American problem, I've travelled to much to accept this rationale.
