Bringing Your Pup to a Dog-Friendly Patio? Follow These Simple Rules

Most dog-friendly patios welcome dogs of all sizes, but it’s important to follow a few basic guidelines:

     *Keep your dog leashed at 6 feet or shorter.

     *Ensure your dog is well-behaved—disruptive pups may be asked to leave.

     *Pets should not sit on chairs, tables, or other furnishings.

Following these rules helps keep Nashville safe and welcoming for all dogs and their owners.
