What to Know Before Bringing Your Dog to a Colorado Venue

• Hire a pro pet attendant: Instead of stressing out a bridesmaid, look to local pros like Canine University. Operating since 2013, their CPDT-certified, positive-reinforcement training team provides dedicated wedding pet attendant care to keep your dog happy, calm, and camera-ready.

• Check the venue's rules: Some spots allow dogs for outdoor ceremonies only, while others welcome them all night long. Make sure you have a game plan for who takes your pup home when the dancing starts!
