Dogs sense of smell is so good that I would think that, if I were a dog, in a resturant, with all those awesome smells around me, and I just have to sit and watch others eat, It would be horrible for me, as a dog.
So why put your beloved pet thru this. why not just leave your pet st home, where he knows the food smells and has a potential for bite of that smell.
Personnally, I think this is cruel and unusual punishment.

Our dog lies at our feet when we eat. Doesn't beg, borrow, or steal food. Doesn't stare at us. Nor have any of our dogs done any such thing. They were never fed from anywhere but their bowl so don't expect or even want the dinner table food. Training--never had to banish a dog to another room.
He just wants to be in whatever room we're in.
