Dog Rules
LD DOG RULES
Patio is dog-friendly and human-friendly.
Dogs are only allowed on the patio and are not allowed inside, with the exception of service animals.
Dogs must be on a leash and well-behaved at all times, even if their owner is not.
All four paws must remain on the ground at all times. Sitting on laps is not acceptable.
Please make sure to have your dog go to the bathroom before bringing them onto the patio. Also, give them regular bathroom breaks.
Keep your dog close to you but not on surfaces such as tables or chairs per the health department.
Your canine friend can not eat off of plates or drink out of glasses. We have special ones just for them, please ask a staff member.
Be sure to clean up after your dog.
Each dog owner is responsible for the behavior and actions of their dogs. Dogs are not liable for the actions of their owners.
Please do not block pathways or interrupt the flow of service.
In the event that any dog or its owner becomes aggressive (barking, biting, or down-right out of control) we reserve the right to ask the owner to leave with their dog for everyone's safety.
Remember, there is no such thing as a bad dog! We love our furry friends but not all of our patrons do. Please be respectful of others.
WHAT IS A SERVICE DOG?
ACCORDING TO THE DEPT. OF JUSTICE ADA REQUIREMENTS:
"Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take a prescribed medication, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person's disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA."
A service animal must be under the control of its handler. Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless the individual's disability prevents using these devices or these devices interfere with the service animal's safe, effective performance of tasks. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.
