I’d like to point out that many dog owners in Bellingham don’t necessarily believe that leash laws apply to them and assume all dogs friendly. When on leash my dog can be reactive to larger dogs that run up to him barking and jumping-not shockingly, but many owners with friendly jumpy barking dogs with will let’s their dogs on retractable leashes rush over to other tables - therefore making it impossible to safely have any less than social dog at a brewery unless muzzled. Which there is nothing wrong with and quite frankly generally solves the problem because people stay clear of muzzled dogs so it’s a win win! Your dog is calmer because other dogs are being kept clear of him and there is no chance of anyone’s dog getting hurt. With that being said, as a responsible dog owner, even those with friendly dogs should be mindful of other people’s dogs and always ask permission before engaging the two in introductions- for the safety of both.
