It's a good idea to socialize dogs at Coki's age by introducing them to new experiences and new people. So we decided to take Coki to a local dog friendly brewery and she did great. She rode well in the car on the way there and pottied in the grass like I asked before we entered the place. The brewery is in an office park and on the Friday evening we were there there wasn't much commotion around except for the brewery. As we walked to the door she put on the breaks....she backed up and put her butt down. She wasn't sure where we were taking her and it was dark outside so I don't blame her. So, I picked her up and carried her over the threshold and then she started to walk again. To my surprise there was a guitarist there that night which made the noise level louder than usual. We found a table and sat down and Coki immediately had admirers come over to say hello. She was a little shy at first, maybe 10-15 seconds but then warmed up. She also met another dog that was there and greeted her politely. We were there about 90 minutes in total and Coki did great. She was curious and did a lot of smelling around our table, but was calm. I brought a bag of treats so I could reward her for her good behavior which made it an enjoyable positive experience for her. We plan on going again.
