[nagdu] Handling our dogs and bowling alleys

[L Gwizdak via nagdu]

Ashley,
I forgot about your question about having a dog at a bowling alley. LOL!

I used to bowl and had my dog with me - actually several dogs.  I would see 
how your dog reacts to the noise of the bowling alleys - maybe don't plan on 
bowling your first day of bringing the dog if the dog seems apprehensive of 
the atmosphere there.  Most dogs do well.  I don't know how your alley is 
configured so you may be able to tie the dog with the leash to the bank of 
chairs near the lane you're on.  That's the ideal but make sure the dog 
isn't on the actual wooden lane part so his nails don't scratch the floor. 
Keep him on the linoleum or carpeted part.

You want to keep him calm and quiet so not to distract nearby bowlers.

I have never had any problem with any of my dogs and my friends haven't had 
any problems either.  Try to make sure your dog can see you and see what is 
going on.

HTH
