As we head into another beautiful summer on Christian Island it is a good time to remind dog owners of some guidelines for cottaging with your fur baby:

• Leash your dog when not on your property; anytime you leave your cottage your dog must be on a leash and under your control.
• Poop and scoop; always have poop bags with you when on a walk and don’t leave evidence your dog just went #2 on a trail or road.
• Always keep an eye on your dog; don’t let it leave your property and wander to other cottages. Not everyone is comfortable with dogs running up to them, especially small children.
• If your dog does leave your property please go after it and get it under control. If there is an incident with another cottager, apologize and please don’t be combative.
• Keep your eyes open for island dogs; they usually can be found unleashed on their properties, often at the end of driveways looking at the road. The island is their home and they like to roam around. Please watch out for them in large groups, especially when walking with small children or your own animals.
• Respecting other people’s space is an important part of being a cottager on Christian Island; keeping this in mind will help ensure everyone will have a great summer.
