When restaurants/bars/coffee shops allow us to bring our dogs it is a privilege and we should do everything we can to impress the owners and staff so that we will be invited back. They should be impressed not only by our well-behaved and friendly dogs, but also by our ability to handle and control them properly at all times. Our goal is for the other restaurant patrons to get up as they are leaving the establishment, see the dogs, and exclaim "I didn't even notice there were dogs here!" :)
