I take Lillybelle most of the time...she is just devasted if I get my keys to go somewhere and don't take her. She knows the the difference - when we are getting out of the car and I say, "lets get your 'shhh purse' rather than her regular purses".
I have taken her in restaurants in her "shhh purse" if they dont have an outdoor patio...but I dont like too, because I dont like to break rules..but sometimes...like on vacation...there really is just no choice...she's quiet as a mouse ...(acts better than my own boys did when they were young and in a restaurant and is probably cleaner, no coughing, sneezing, spilling, running,).
If she is in her "shhh purse", we try not to go anywhere that we have to stay very long.
Dont think I would take her to a movie though...she would be too traumatized--it would be way too long and way too LOUD.
We trained her on her "shhh purse" at home...in short intervals with praise, and treats when she was young, and I give her treats on occasion still and she has chew toys in her purse to keep her busy.
Good luck with your little one and have fun!
