Question 6

Can I push a stroller or bring my pup?

Accepted Answer

Due to size of the paths, pups and strollers are not allowed on the course. We love dogs- in fact we have 3 at home. However, the crowds of folks (who may or may not be as much of fans as we are) can be unpredictable and can startle a pup in an instant, or may not be paying attention and trip over a leash or Spot himself.
