Tips for Pets in Public

We are striving to continue to bring pet-friendly businesses to our area and cultivate a pet-inclusive community. In order to do so, as pet owners, it is OUR DUTY to ensure our pets are good guests when visiting dog-friendly establishments and that our pets do not infringe on the rights of the non-pet owning public or other pet owners who are out in public.

 

Always pick up after your pet. 

​

Follow leash laws. 

​

Consider using a standard leash at busy venues instead of a retractable leash. 

​

Don't let your pet intrude on the personal space of strangers or other pets unless invited. 

​

Be sure children ask pet owners before approaching any dog. 

​

If your dog appears nervous/uncomfortable, please remove your pet. Your dog depends on you to make these types of wise decisions for them. 

 

Help keep our community a nice place to live for pet owners and non-pet owners alike.
