Keep in mind that it is a privilege to bring
our pets to these businesses. If the businesses cannot
accommodate you and your dog because they are busy, please be understanding
and gracious. If you and your pet is asked to leave due to behavioral
issues, please do so in a gracious manner. |
|
Only bring
well-behaved, human and dog friendly pets. Please seek professional training to address those issues
before taking your dog out.
Aggressive dogs have been one reason businesses have changed their policies. Do
NOT bring aggressive dogs out in public.
See our supporters page for
training
recommendations.
Canine Good
Citizen Testing is also a good idea for all dogs. |
|
Keep your dog under control, always on leash per
city ordinance. Do not allow your dog to go wherever he
pleases. Do not allow your dog to pull you around. If your dog is not
under control, please seek training prior to taking your dog out. Do not
allow your dog to bark incessantly.
See our supporters page for
training
recommendations. |

While you may allow your dog to eat human food,
don't
allow your dog to eat other people's food. |
|
Makes sure your dog is reasonably clean. No one
wants to have lunch next to a stinky dog.
Nor does anyone want fleas. |
|
Make sure your dogs are up to date on shots.
Carry your rabies certificate in the car. |
|
Please only allow your dog to only potty away from the
main areas, and please clean up any accidents. |
|
Not everyone
loves dogs (yes, I know). Respect those people's wishes.
Please do not allow your dog to approach people without their permission.
|
|
Not everyone
has common sense or decency. People will yank on your dog, sit on your dog, feed your dog
things they shouldn't eat, and hurt your dogs in other ways.
Don't be afraid
to correct those people's behavior for the sake of your dog. |
|
Do not allow your dog to socialize or play with other
dog unless it is safe. Do not allow your dogs to romp and
play when it is crowded. Someone may get side swiped. Do not allow
your dog to approach other dogs without the owner's permission. |
|
Please follow these
guidelines with visiting dog parks.
Support
City Code 337 and
