Where can you take your dog in this Calgary deep freeze?

Some dogs like this ruff weatherbut some don't. So where can you take Rover when it's this cold?

Karlee Ainslie of For Dog's Sake YYC, shared her list with The Homestretch.

• How to keep your dog from going squirrelly in a cold snap

Where can you take your leashed, generally well-behaved dog in the city? Here's Ainslie'sfar from exhaustive list to get you started:

• Pet stores like PetSmart, Petland and Pet Valu.
• Garden centres like Golden Acre, Blue Grass and Greengate.
• Many liquor storesbut not Calgary Co-op.
• Most banks.
• Calgary International Airport.
• Bass Pro Shops.
• Canadian Tire.
• Holt Renfrew.
• HomeSense.
• Lululemon.
• Michaels.
• Nordstrom.
• Winners.

Earlier this week Southcentremall said itwould allow dogs in the mall with some exceptions. Shortly after, the mallretracted that position saying theyhad "overstated our ability to welcome pets."

They've since made an exception and will allow dogs in the mall until this Friday (Jan. 17) while they review their policy.

But there are conditions, and many stores have their own specific policies.Here are some general rules to avoid being put in the dog house:

• A four to six foot leash instead of those retractable ones.
• If your dog is reactive or aggressive or easily excited, it's probably to leave them at home.
• Avoid letting people pet your dog, because it can teach behaviours you want to discourage.
• If you dog likes to mark territory, use a doggie diaper.
• And in that territory, always clean up after your furry friend.
