Dog Friendly Places in Tallahassee, Florida

Socialization is CRUCIAL! Especially for building proper brain development and emotional stability in young puppies. Exposing your dog to positive adventures helps them not be afraid. Use this opportunity to practice good manners in a distracting environment. Play ball or tug  in many place, or include strangers in Chase & Catch using TWC “triangle method”This builds positive associations with new people & places. Treats are also an option if space is limited or pup doesn’t know the games yet. 

Please be advised store or restaurant owners may change their policy or ask a disruptive dog to leave at any time.
