Dogs in the Tampa Skyclub
Hi everyone,
So yesterday was a real "dog day". Two dogs in the Skyclub (see pics) whose owners felt it was okay for their dogs to sit on the couches. Unacceptable.
I spoke to the front desk associates and they took the behavior seriously. They said the dogs were not allowed on the furniture and must either be crated or connected to a leash.
My flight from TPA to LGA had four dogs (including the cocker spaniel in the pic. It's just getting ridiculous.
When a Skyclub patron enters the club with an animal, the owners should be reminded about keeping the animals off the furniture. Just plain unsanitary.
Safe travels

I think they are cute. I guess we no you aren't a big canine fan.

I actually love dogs. I have two myself; however, I would never allow them sit on furniture in a public place. Paws are filthy. Especially walking through airports. Just ewww.

Dogs are people, too! Businessdogs should be allowed in the SkyClubs!

I agree guys. Not on the furniture. But even the dogs being on the furniture wouldn't make the owners qualify as the worst behavior I've seen in there.

The line of acceptable behavior shouldn't be "not as bad worst thing that's happened thus far."
Not a dig at you personally as I fall into this trap as well depending on the situation.

My little buddy is cleaner and has better manners than most SC clientele. But I still would not let him get on the furniture.....in fact IMO they should stay in their kennel.

Seen a few incidents where dog pees on the airport carpet. All emotional support animals should be in cages while in the airport or in flight.
