Two Rivers Dog Mushers

1 week 3 days ago

Hey y'all! Some Two Rivers/Pleasant Valley community based topics -
For those who run dogs around Beechwood St, the road dead ends and the dogs at the end of the road could react poorly to any team that scoots into their yard, so please take care not to enter that area when you're at the dead end.

Additionally, when you're running dogs along the road, drivers have mentioned it would be helpful to shine your headlamps onto your leaders rather than turning your head and looking at the car. If you are looking at cars passing by, please be cognizant of your headlamp and try to avoid blinding drivers.

Thank you!
