GRAND MARAIS, Minn., June 28, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For dog owners, going on vacation without your pet can be frustrating and you end up missing your dog, knowing they'd rather be with you than at the kennel. Gunflint Lodge in Grand Marais, Minnesota, offers the perfect vacation solution for dog lovers: the Woofta Uffta and Waggalot Weekend Vacation Packages.
"For folks who love the great outdoors and want to share their vacation with their dog, our Dog Lover's Weekends in July, August, September and October are ideal," says Bruce Kerfoot, second generation owner of Gunflint Lodge. "Dogs are the feature of the weekend. We invite specialists to join us in presenting seminars and training activities on dog massages, training, communications, and pet health.

Our naturalists plan several activities in the woods which complement the social activities around the lodge. In addition, guests have some free time for hiking, canoeing and exploring."
