My yorkie Mckenna did great on the trains yesterday. On Metro North, we kept her out of the bag and she just sat on my lap and looked out the window the whole time. I don't even think the ticket person noticed her, he was just clipping tickets and kept going. We put her back in the bag before we got off Metro North.
While we were walking to the subway, we were stopped by a police officer who told us to make sure we keep her in the bag while we ride the subway.
Mckenna was so scared when the train came in the station that she started shaking and curled up in a ball on one side of the bag. Once we got off the train though and outside, we let her out and she was her happy self again. She had a great time meeting all of the dogs, small and big!
Overall, I think that if the dog is not disturbing anyone, it's fine to bring them on public transportation. I plan on bringing Mckenna with me from now on when I need to make quick trips into the city. |
