Being a dog-friendly brewery can be a great way to build community enthusiasm about your space, contribute to a fun atmosphere, and ultimately, sell more beer. But hosting dogs is not without its risks and headaches. As a bartender in a dog-friendly brewery, are you prepared to navigate these dog issues safely in order to create the best experience for all of your brewery guests? This course covers topics like reading dog body language; understanding the differences between service dog, ESAs, Therapy Dogs, and pet dogs and your responsibilities in each of these categories; managing health risks of hosting dogs in your brewery; preventing and reacting to dog incidences in your brewery, including dog bites & fights; handling the human on the other end of the leash; and more. Breweries who complete this training for 75% of their customer-facing staff can apply for their Certified Dog-Friendly Brewery status.
