Both our dogs are for hearing assist, we take them just about everyplace with us...we have a friend with a baby who is allergic to animals, but a bath that morning and good brush out, they are good for a couple hour visit with no ill effects on the baby, I have small crates for them that don't take up a lot of room and they remain crated while we are in the home. My male has a portal in the top of his crate that he can stick his head through, he sits at my side and alerts me to noises that he thinks i need to be aware of. The reason for the crates is mainly to keep any possible dog hair off the carpet.

The dogs are both chihuahuas and very well behaved. We just came from Denny's and they both sat inside with us even though Bearbear is off duty due to an injury. The vet wants him kept quiet and if he's not with us, he stresses out and could hurt himself again.
