I travel between houses a lot so he's often with me, so like little things like getting my oil changed, car washed, etc, he's always welcome at places like that. Downtown area here is very dog friendly- many stores allow dogs. Outdoor patios at restaurants... home/garden type stores, places like Home Depot, etc....
I'm very respectful. If a place specifically states no dogs, I do not bring him in. If I was ever asked to leave, I would leave respectfully. Any place that sells food I do not bring him in. Just be courteous to others, make sure your dog is socialized & trained, and be aware that not everyone likes dogs and you should be good. |
I recently learn that our local mall changed their policy and was now dog friendly, except dogs were not allow down in the food court and you needed to ask permission before entering any store. Husband had an appointment with the Apple store (located inside the mall) to have his cell phone serviced after our dog training classes. The pups and I waited in the car when he came and got us. There were 3 other well behave dogs in the store and more walking around in the mall.
