Dogs in stores now?

The airline industry already learned this lesson:

OP, I have a little dog and agree with you that dogs shouldn't be in most public spaces. I saw a terrible, bloody dog fight in an outdoor cafe in Berlin several years ago. Animals are unpredictable and even a seemingly calm dog can be unexpectedly triggered.

I know people with severe allergies to dogs that are negatively impacted by dogs in stores.

Also, dogs absolutely bark, knock things over, pee on the floor, etc. I remember being at a zoo and watching a fake service dog go absolutely bonkers every time it saw an animal - jumping, barking, lunging, etc. The zoo animals were freaked out and it was unpleasant for guests.

I think it’s great. Dogs are scientifically proven to help de-stress you…unlike children. I think it’s wild how triggered DCUM gets about it though.

I was in HomeGoods and a little dog was in a cart going wild with a dog toy. The squeaky noise could be heard through most of the store. I’m a dog person and yet I found it highly annoying. But the owner looked pleased. Ugh.

Dogs can take public transportation and go in many stores in Europe.

One of my family members has that allergy but is 100% non-reactive to my hypoallergenic dog that has hair not fur. It even sleeps on his bed.

The people who brings dogs with them everywhere are have the brain development of a 2 year old who brings their wubbie with them everywhere.

It's sad and pathetic.

Other people’s kids are scientifically proven to stress people or just your own?

I’m sure a dog can destress it’s owner; I had rabies shots after being chased and bit by a loose dog, so definitely doesn’t destress me.

It’s also because they are too cheap to pay for dog walkers or dog care.

YOUR dog de-stresses YOU. It creates stress for other people.

Do whatever you want with your dog at home and on your own property. But bringing your pet with you everywhere makes you a complete ahole, not to mention likely emotionally stunted.

Yay for you. One of my family members is highly allergic to all dogs, even the “hypoallergenic” ones, and is absolutely miserable whenever we have to be in close quarters with a dog. Not that fun when he’s sneezing and sniffling in a grocery store because someone just HAD to bring their dog, and getting the stink-eye from everyone for appearing to be sick in public.

Not for everyone, especially people with allergies.

Why can’t the dogs just stay home for a few hours?
