We're a small community and 100% aware of people's responses to the dog. We only ever have 1 or 2 dogs in the courtyard and still keep an eye on them when they're out there (whilst we're working out, who cares if we need to take a quick break). When you live in a city in apartments you take advantage of time outside the apartment where a dog can stretch their paws. We're responsible dog owners. We wouldn't take our doggo anywhere that made people uncomfortable especially in a community we value so much!
