Now that Spring has finally arrived and Summer is quickly approaching, think about taking your dog with you when you dine outside. Of course your dog must be well behaved and know how to quietly lie down beside you in spite of the many surrounding distractions. This is the perfect time to start practicing the Long Down, first in the distraction - free environment of your home, then your backyard, and later at a busy park. Gradually introduce food (your food, not the dog's!) into the mix. Invite friends and family over for a barbecue. Can your dog handle all the distraction? If he can, then you are ready to try public dining. I always like to begin in a place like Cup O Joes. There are usually many people coming and going, there may be other dogs, but unlike the restaurants listed below, there is not the added distraction of strong food smells. Feeling confident?
