Suggest a place for the guide

If you know somewhere that takes dogs and it is not in here, send it through. Every suggestion is checked against a public source before it becomes an entry.

Checking whether you are signed in.

Sign in to send a place

A suggestion is attached to your account, so we can come back to you if a rule needs confirming before the entry goes in. It also keeps the form from filling with rubbish overnight, which is the plainer reason.

Signing in is a six digit code sent to your email address. There is no password to remember, and nothing to pay.

That is in the queue

Thank you. The next step is ours: finding the council page, park page or venue page that states the dog rules, and reading it. If the policy can be confirmed, the place becomes an entry with those sources and the date attached. If it cannot, it stays out.

That is not a fast process, and no news is not bad news.

Back to the map

Name of the place Required

What it is called on the sign, or on the map.

Type of place Required

Street address Optional

If it has one. A trailhead or a stretch of sand often does not.

Suburb or town Required

State or territory Required

Coordinates Optional

Leave these blank if you are not sure, and most people should. If you have dropped a pin in a map app, paste the two numbers it gives you.

Latitude

Longitude

What are the dog rules Optional

On lead, off lead, the hours, the seasons, the parts that are out of bounds. If you read it on a sign or a council page, say which.

Website Optional

The venue's own site, or better, the council or park page that states the rule. This is the single most useful thing you can give us.

Anything else Optional

Water, shade, fencing, parking, the size of dog it suits, or why you think it belongs in the guide.

What you have typed stays here. Sign in, come back to this tab, then press send again.

Nothing is published until it has been checked.

What happens next

Every suggestion is checked

01 It lands in the queue with your account attached, so we can ask you a question if the rule is unclear.
02 We look for the dog policy on a public source: the council, the park authority, a tourism body, or the venue itself.
03 If it cannot be confirmed, it does not go in. Fourteen candidates were dropped that way while the first entries were built.
04 If it does go in, the entry carries its sources and the date they were read.

Please do not send a place you have not been to, or one whose dog rules you are guessing at. A wrong entry costs somebody a wasted drive.
