Thanks to everyone for the feedback!<br><br>On Saturday, November 15, 2014, Bob Giordano &lt;<a href="mailto:mist@strans.org">mist@strans.org</a>&gt; wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">We really liked having dogs in the shop, until a small dog bit a child on<br>

<br>
Everyone thinks their dog is the best and will not bite anyone.  And I<br>
agree that a dog can put people at ease most of the time.  But even the<br>
most friendly dog in the world can put parents at unease when children are<br>
around.<br>
<br>
So we did make a &#39;policy&#39; of &#39;no dogs&#39; in the shop except service dogs.<br>
We make exceptions for events sometimes and also when only volunteers are<br>
in the shop.<br>
<br>
We also made a little area outside that a dog can be leashed to.<br>

&gt; Does anyone have any waivers or policies about having dogs in the shop? I<br>
&gt; spend a lot of time at velocity bicycle coop in alexandria and would like<br>
&gt; to bring my dog. The volunteers have asked for some scenarios. Any advice?<br>
