Stop bringing your dog to elementary pick up!

Leave your dog at home.

For school pickup, at stores, restaurants, and everywhere that isn't a pet store or your personal property.

Eh, I think some restaurants that allow pets outdoors are great and people who don't like it can choose a different place to eat. Same for Home Depot or other private businesses that allow pets. But for school? Nope, leave them home.

School pickup is not the pace for “socialization” of the dog. In that case, Home Depot or whatever makes a lot more sense, where there is a lot more predictability. School pickup is for the “bomb proof” dogs, but ultimately, for no dog at all.

If you have to bring your dog, and I get that people walling might, then stay away from the building, playground, and fray.

People get so focused on their dogs socializatnion that they forget about human socialization factors.

This is SO true. NO ONE LIKES OTHER PEOPLE'S DOGS. Sort of like other people's toddlers.

You all seem to be operating on the mistaken belief that I give a damn about how you feel about my dog. Get over it.

+100 I didn’t bring my kids to nice restaurants when they were toddlers because it’s not appropriate and it would have been very annoying to people. It would have been convenient for me at times—and a great opportunity for them to practice civilized behavior—but I never would have done it because I’m a decent human being.

You sound nice. It’s about kids’ comfort and safety not your nasty mutt.

Yup.

You don't deserve your dog.

There was a mom with a dachshund at our Mclean elementary who did this every single day, without fail - right smack in front of the exit door. I think the principal finally said something, thankfully. It was absurd.

I'd rather be greeted by a cute dachshund than many parents. Probably nicer.

100% agree. Kids also love little dogs like dachshunds and even some medium sized breeds like labs and retrievers. We had a mom always bring her lab to pre-k pickup, she started doing it when he was a puppy for socialization reasons. The kids adored that dog, everyone always wanted to give him a piece of cheese. It’s a great idea to have a little waiting area around schools for pet owners (if you wanna bring a leashed cat, all the more power to you). That way the little ones get exposure and the pets get some practice being around people. And I have dog allergies, this is nothing like peanut allergies or egg allergies or whatever. Unless your child is going to be burying its face into the dogs fur and putting his nose in the dander in an enclosed room, you’re not even going to experience anything. As long as dog owners are responsible and keep their pets leashed and it doesn’t literally say “no dogs” in front of the school door, I don’t see how anyone could object. I suspect some of the parents on here could use a little pet therapy to help with their aggression.

All kids? Yikes. That's SO far from true.

Show me a kid that doesn’t like a puppy or kitten and I’ll show you a psychopath in the making.

This is the problem with the world. Children and pets are part of society. If someone wants child free and pet free zones, they are welcome to stay home and be miserly and awful people in the comfort of their living room. I’m not saying you need to bring a dog into a grocery store, but outside on the sidewalk of a cafe should be totally fine if they’re well behaved. Same goes for children. Maybe not a rated R movie at midnight, but what’s wrong with taking them to a nice restaurant. They’re human beings for chrissakes.

This actually made me chuckle because these ladies really are getting themselves worked up for some random dog at a school gate. Of all the things to be carrying on about in the world. Some first world problem nonsense over here. People can’t just be happy, they’re so upset you’d think they were walking 10 miles uphill in dog poo to pick up their kids.

Yeah, have to agree, just leave your dog please.

And I love dogs and am a dog owner of large and toy breeds. My children also love all dogs so it's really not so much the presence of dogs that's annoying. Personally, I just don't want my kids wanting to go and meet and play with random dogs... what if something just set the dog off? There is always something that can.

I don’t care at all if people use school pickup as an opportunity to walk their dog AS LONG AS they’re not on school property. If you’re following the rules, great. Same with stores and restaurants - if they allow dogs and you hate dogs, go elsewhere.
