Sneaking the Yorkie on Amtrak?! Hi everyone! Happy Monday:thumbdown I have a question...I am going home to Boston from NYC. I want to take Amtrak, bc its the easiest. Anyway, I called and they said no dogs allowed. Do you think I could sneak my Skylar on?? Any ideas how to?? I want her to come with me Thanks!!! |
if your yorkie is a quiet one, I don't see why not. We all sneak our yorkies to unforbidden places all the time :p How long is the ride, and will potty, water/food be an issue? |
The ride is about 3.5 hours. she will be ok. The vet can give me something to make her droswy like we did for the plane. im just worried if they see her, are they just going to kick me off |
Don't take her out. Just put her in the case under the seat with a toy and something to chew on. |
You might want to book a ticket in their business class section. There's less people and the staff is friendlier. I'm sure they wouldnt mind if they saw your yorkie in a carrier. Have fun! - Peggy |
Honestly, I wouldn't chance it. I'm sure if you get caught there will be fines, ect and it just wouldn't be worth it in the long run. If you happen to be sitting next to someone who doesn't like dogs, it's very likely they will alert someone and you'll get into trouble. JMO. |
If you could get a sitter I think it would be a better idea. I'd hate to think of you being kicked off in some strange place. |
that is funny...i always wondered if people ever sneak their yorkies places.because normally they are so little. |
You could probably get away with it! I was recently on an Amtrak train when the lady across from me had brought her dog (had to be a 9 pound dog!!!). The conductor was not happy when he saw the dog sitting next to her on the seat. He told her she had to put it away and not let it be seen. We were wondering what he would do given that the ticket wording says no dogs!....this was a trip from Boston to NYC! If your dog is quiet, you could probably get away with it. I have great carriers...no one even knows I have a dog! They look like pocketbooks....people are shocked when I tell them my precious dog is inside of it!!:) |
I put my yorkie in her bag and we go everywhere with her. Never did travel that way though. I might be leary about it. |
I ride a ferry all the time with my little guy. There are signs everywhere that say "No pets". He is in a carrier, and as long as the carrier is in my lap where he can see me through the mesh, he doesn't make any noise. The last time I rode it with him, I had a little girl sitting next to me (7 or 8), and I thought for sure she would notice and make a fuss. She never did notice! So I guess it depends on if you have a carrier that does not attract attention, and if your pup is quiet. Good luck!:) |
Undercover Carrier~ Any ideas on a "Secret" carrier. Mine right now SCREAMS Dog inside |
My Sherpa Bag for Crystal looks like luggage and yet there is lots of areas not easily visable to the naked eye to allow air to circulate. It's soft but if I fly it fits under the seat. The airlines limit one in the cabin because so many people have allergies to dogs. I agree there may be fines so I would be careful and think it through. I take Crystal in restaurants when the car is warm and I wouldn't think of leaving her and I have never been questioned. It's 15 inches long and 10 inches high. and has an over the shoulder strap which makes it look even more like luggage and it has extra little zippered areas for doggie things to take along. |
