Restaurants with pet-friendly patios?
I just got an e-mail from Dan Crawford in response to my post about Saturday lunches. With Dan's permission, I'm quoting from his message:
I like the post on the restaurants open for lunch on Saturday. I would propose another one along the lines of restaurants with pet-friendly patios and seating. My wife and I love to take out 3 border collies with us everywhere we go, and that includes eating. If you run with this, here are some of our favorites, and I would like to have some more.
Players Retreat on Oberlin
Village Draft House in Cameron Village
Lilly's Pizza at Five Points
Moe's in Cameron Village (Lots of Moe's have patios, and we have only been asked to leave once, and that was by Triangle Town Center police).
OK, anybody got more suggestions for Dan?

Oh come on. Shock collars.
Mon, 02/09/2009 - 17:38 — bvaneveryOh come on. Shock collars. Gimme a break. Your dog's dinner behavior is pretty much going to mirror whatever you trained him to do or not do at home. Dogs aren't generic. Much like humans, they have different temperaments. If your dog is reasonably calm and obedient about food and people, nothing magical's gonna happen when you take him to a restaurant. On the other hand if your dog is high strung and disobedient, please don't bring him to a restaurant until you've trained him, and yourself. Yep, it's often the dog's owner that needs the training.
Precautions
Sun, 09/28/2008 - 23:13 — E.Shavm (not verified)All I'm saying is that anyone who takes a dog or group of dogs out to a restaurant is tempting fate when it comes to their pet's obedience; instinct can be tamed only so far. With that in mind, I say they'd better bring along electronic training collars the first few times (it's humane enough) to make sure the pup doesn't do anything he really wants to do.

Wed, 07/02/2008 - 17:17 — Terry (not verified)Panera Bread at North Hills Mall was friendly when I brought my grand-dog. Jodie (pronounced Hodie) was well behaved, so I believe if your dogs are too, then they'd be welcome. It sounds like they are good dogs.
