[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was at Jersey Mike’s today - i.e. [b]a place that CLEARLY does not allow dogs[/b] - and someone brought their dog inside and leisurely ordered a sub! Everyone was kind of like wtf but [b]no one said anything to him[/b]. It clearly was not a service dog. I am a huge animal lover and have a dog myself, but that rubbed me the wrong way. [/quote]

So they do allow dogs. [/quote]No, not necessarily. Many people in food places are not going to tell you to take your dog outside because they do not want to deal with an angry customer. Some people are just not good with confronta[/quote]

This. It doesn't mean they allow dogs. It means they don't want the headache of dealing with an angry dogmom who's going to go online and write terrible exaggerating reviews about how a business owner hates animals, thereby causing them to lose business.

So many dog owners these days have lost their minds.

If you're ignoring signs and common sense just so you can bring Bella with you everywhere and know that no one is going to call you out, that really just makes you a jerk.[/quote]

New poster. Agree about some (not all) dog owners losing their minds. Not just re: establishments that sell food. I was in Tysons Corner Mall this week. A guy with a tiny white dog on a leash was walking around inside the mall like he was getting his dog exercise (bright clear day outside so this was not about little Fluffy getting soaked by rain).

Later that same visit, a woman with a miniature collie had the dog on a leash with her as she ambled around inside Barnes and Noble.

And tonight two people with a quivering chihuahua were pulling it on its leash through a Home Depot, where there were employees moving huge items like glass patio doors and stacks of plywood around on noisy forklifts, etc. etc. Nothing there to stress out a dog, oh no.

Do owners of small dogs think they get a magical pass on bringing their dogs into malls and stores because "they're just little" or because "well, it's not a place that serves food"?

Huge sense of entitlement at work. Plus probably a big dose of believing "my dog is my baby" and probably "my dog is hypo-allergenic and can't set off anyone's allergies" too. Zero sense of what is and what isn't appropriate or safe--for people or for the dog.

I have a puppy and i bring him everywhere so that he can get socialized.  Noisy places like Lowes or Home Depot are great stores to get him use to sounds/smells/people.

And to the PP above, B&N allows dogs!

As does Lowes,
Apple Store.
Barnes and Noble.
Bass Pro Shops.
Macy's.
Lush Cosmetics.
Pottery Barn.
Hobby Lobby.

Per the Tysons Corner Mall security office: Dogs cannot be walked inside the mall. Dogs are allowed but must be under 10 pounds and must be carried at all times in the mall itself. Dogs over 10 pounds aren't permitted in the mall unless they are service dogs.

Lush, the Apple Store and B&N do not have their own separate exterior entrances for people to use to bring a dog on its leash into those stores, so owners are supposed to carry their dogs through the mall when heading to those stores. Patrons can enter Macy's through its separate exterior entrance with a dog but are supposed to pick him up if you're going to exit Macy's and go into the mall.

While Lowe's, Home Depot etc. permit dogs, their policies say that this is at the discretion of each store's manager, so don't assume that every store in each chain is going to be equally welcoming to dogs.
