We had the same issue from the start -- and set the policy that no animals were allowed in the commonhouse except working animals. By law, work animals cannot be banned from public places. But it is also true that work animals are more disciplined than other animals and do not cause the same problems. They do not run around on furniture spreading hair or dander. They receive regular grooming and do not run loose outside. If told to stay off the carpet, they do. Ours is attached physically to her master's wheelchair so she does not stray but all the working dogs I have known were attached in some way to their master. How the other dogs feel about this privilege is another question.
