Sniffspots are a great option for dogs who are dog reactive, not dog friendly or as a great way to practice off leash work and training in different areas. https://www.sniffspot.com/

Happy Trails & Tails in Twin Lake is one of our favorites. https://www.sniffspot.com/listings/twin-lake-mi/happy-trails-n-tails-16936

Leash’s fenced yard is large, safe and clean. https://www.sniffspot.com/listings/muskegon-mi/leah-s-fenced-yard-35543

Dog Friendly businesses & restaurants

This list is not exhaustive and to be safe give a call first. Since many stores welcome pups, if there is a shop you are wondering about, give them a call.

Home Depot,True Value Hardware, Michel’s, Ace Hardware,Hobby Lobby,Starbucks Patio only, Tj max, Home Goods, TSC, Family Farm and Home

Most Restaurants that have outdoor seating allow dogs outside. Breweries and cafes in downtown areas with outside seating are typically welcoming to well behaved, leashed pups outside only, so this means you may need to leave your pup outside or in the car while you order inside. However some asked that pups are outside the seating area. So be sure to inquire beforehand.

Muskegon( seasonally most of the downtown area is very dog friendly, most patios allow dogs)

The Deck 1601 Beach St, Muskegon, MI, US, 4944, https://thedeckmkg.com/

I have seen many pups enjoying a night at the Deck with their people,but keep in mind the sand can get VERY hot. The space can be extremely busy and loud if there is a band.
