Not to mention that dogs lick themselves, pee, poop and you probably can't control that when they are at a restaurant. I realize that pets are part of a family but you could just leave them home for a bit while we eat. We would very much appreciate it.
When the Florida legislature was the first in the country to pass the Dog Friendly Dining Regulation back in 2006, they gave restaurants the right to opt out. My advice to you is vote with your feet or move to another state.
