Before you head out with the dog

Paperwork. Rabies certificate and tags in the bag -- kennels always ask, parks sometimes do.
Default to leashed. Unless a sign says off-leash, the leash stays on; that is the rule in most towns.
Hot pavement. Summer visits mean early or late walks, and the hand test on asphalt before every outing.
Emergency number. Put the nearest vet clinic in your phone now, not at midnight when you need it.

Ask a local: the staff at pet stores and vet clinics know the real picture -- the unofficial off-leash spots, the patios that actually like dogs, the trails to skip in tick season. A two-minute conversation beats an hour of searching.
