Dogs are great as long as the owners are smarter than the dogs lol. We now have a dog as my parents both passed and my wife and i adopted mom's little schnauzer , Hannah.
she was a barker at first but we pretty much have her broken from that. We ALWAYS pick up her mess and take her away from where people walk when she does her "thing"to avoid any mistakes . I have seen some people just let their dogs bark and bark. i have also seen a guy let his dog take a big crap right in the pitts and not clean up after it. thus , being smarter than the dog. I don't see any reason why pets can't be there . the only thing i really don't like is pets in the pitts or flight line. so i say tend to your pets and always let us pet them lol.
