Welcome.

Check out r/NewToVermont

Dogs should be leashed when out of your yard. So, “just out in the woods”, as in “on a hike,” yes, you should leash your dog at all times. There are a few exceptions. One is Dog Mountain.

If you’d like to tell us what town you are moving to we might have some specific advice related to that area.

Use the BringFido website to find the dog-friendliest places.

People in Vermont tend to be friendlier in person than on reddit.

As far as strangers approaching your dog, unfortunately not everyone has learned to ask the owner before approaching a dog but most will. So, we can’t promise this but don’t expect a lot of problems.

This is very very true.

Also, people let their dogs off leash all the time (right or wrong). It's a very dog friendly state.

Yeah the hatred for dogs off leash on the Vermont subreddit is not at all what I experience out in the real world of Vermont. Every time I hike I encounter off leash dogs and it doesn't bother me at all.
