Wife and I had several dogs over the last 50 years. Always did our best to train them to behave properly like we did our children when they went out with us to eat at a restaurant. It does take time and effort to train a dog properly. Sometimes (depending on the dog) you need professional help. In our early working days, I traveled a lot, we always had a trained dog at home. Our last dog was a white toy poodle. She was a great companion and lap dog. She lived to see a couple years of retirement and we went out of the "pet business" for good. Of course, never say never!
