I dont know for sure where you can take your baby either. Sometimes for me it is just hit or miss. Nordstroms lets my girl in
Restaraunts, generally no.
As far as getting his attention when you are "socializing..." you should start training your boy with treats. Maybe first in a "quiet" setting, like your own yard. Leave his leash on so you can grab it quickly! What I started doing is taking the girls in the backyard and I have a plastic shaker cup filled with treats...they know when I shake that cup and say "come" it means goodie time!! I know they dont know "come" yet, but if I use this together eventually they will connect the two...I hope! Just an idea ... however, now that I think about it... if you are socializing with other pups/dogs when you do this....you might have the whole park running to you for TREATS!! LOL!
