One of my more regular haunts has a room that people tend to use if they bring a dog as it is in an area where there are lots of walkers/doggers/Sludge. It's also a very busy place that sells good food, but slightly out of the way so people have to make an effort to go there. The landlord himself has two. If dogs are detrimental to trade, it hasn't happened there.
