Dogs in stores now?

[Anonymous]

Here’s how it happens for me. I take my dog to Petco for training class. Because I have driven 30 mins to get there and Target is next door I build a visit to Target into this trip. I can’t leave the dog in the car, and I am not driving 60 mins roundtrip to take her home and come back. She is little (7lbs) so I can carry her in a sling or purse and she is quiet. I have worked out a good system with my regular Starbucks along our walk in that I order in the app and wait outside until I see it come up or if they see us they wave me in and I rush in, grab the order and leave.

I think there is a concerted effort to push the boundary. More people bringing them in makes it's gets harder to tell them no. Don't think it should be that way, but think it is.

And most people are fine with it. WE are about to get a small dog and yes, I will take him with me as much as possible when I am out and about, as long as it is legal. Will probably get a backpack carrier. Why would it bother so many of you?

The big difference is that people in Europe have the good sense to get a small dog if they live in the city. Meanwhile here we have these urban hipsters who will cram a giant farm dog or pit bull into their small apartment. Many owners are also too lazy to take their dogs on proper walks. So is it any wonder then when these stressed animals act out in the grocery store or jump up on kids on the playground?!

Ok cool, so I have to have an asthma attack due to breathing in your dogs dander when you bring it somewhere it is not allowed….for your convenience? You are a shitty person.

And here it is folks. Obsessed dog owners care more about their dog and themselves than others humans. End thread.

I don't get it. I've had a few dogs and they would not wanted to have been in Target. When you train service dogs you literally have to work with them on densensitizing them to things like those slick shiny floors some stores have and the noises and lights of department stores. The average dog has not had that training, your dog is likely stressed and just wants to go home.

If you are having an asthma attack because a papillon is in a sack in a huge store then you should be wearing a ventilator everywhere. Your hyperbole is not helping your cause.

People get around this by just putting them in a cart. Shudder.

I have actually had reactions in stores to dogs the next aisle over, and I'm not the only one that has posted in this forum about having a severe dog allergy. I think I should be able to go to the grocery store, just like everyone else with a disability. Do you also walk your dog on a long retractable leash and trip older people with mobility issues because your dog just has to run around and if they dont' want to be tripped, they ought to stay home?

Exactly.

Sometimes people’s dog’s dander is on their clothing!

PP should live in a bubble.

Yeah, because it is such a wonderful idea to let an animal that often eats its own vomit and feces into stores where people get food. I hope you get arrested for breaking the law.

Oh, sweetie, no one is "getting arrested" for this. You sound hysterical.

Well I'm allergic to perfumes and heavy scents. And I cannot require people not to douse themselves in it. You live in a community, not a bubble. You will be exposed to things that are negative, across the spectrum.

So . . . I guess, avoid dog-friendly stores? I can't avoid "no perfumed people" stores. And those FAR exceed dogs in stores.

I am reading all these childish comments, and seeing the name-calling, by people who don't like dogs in stores. And honestly, the nastiness just makes me want to take them more. So keep it up. As to your judgment, name-calling, etc. I can live with that. Even more, because I have dogs, I can HAPPILY live with that and not care at all.

Have at it.

Uhhhh you’re not allowed to take your dog to the grocery store. Idiot.

OK, well, if the store manager asks us to leave, we will. Stew more in the meantime.

People drowning themselves in perfume in public gives me asthma attacks. Oh well.
