You think the playground is where a dog belongs?


Where do you live that allows dogs on school property?

This is what needs to happen, unfortunately, because you can't trust everyone to be responsible.

This is absolutely not allowed at either of my kids’ schools (at least not on school property, of course if they wait on the public corner it is allowed)

Some parents of older elementary students do walk them (bringing the dog) but they kiss goodbye at the corner/edge of school property. Which is fine.

If there is a no-dog policy, I would complain to the Principal. If not resolved; I’d complain to the superintendent/school board.

And I am a dog owner FWIW. I do not want my young children around other people’s dogs at school either.

Several kids had to jump the leash today to get to their parents.

If you’re too busy to walk your dog don’t have one.


Not too busy, choosing taking time to spend time with our kids by walking 30 min roundtrip instead of having them ride their bikes alone. It's all about balance/choices. I can bring my dog and be respectful of the rules/other people.

Then find a place outside of the fray, and meet your kids there. Not of the middle of the playground equipment, where kids are trying to play.I know you’re off the sidewalks, etc. But that doesn’t always mean out of the way. I know of one family who would say this, but they stand in the only quiet area where many kids get organized.

Even your “nice” dog is a distraction, and unnecessary.

I agree OP. Last year when drop off was outside school grounds and kids were lined up, a family had the nerve to bring their newly adopted adult pit bull most days. WTF.

A dog on a leash ran about 8 feet today to try to jump on my 6 year old as we were leaving the school to walk home. If you are going to bring your dog, please don’t let it try to jump on kids, even if the dog is on a leash. Can any lawyers out there tell me who’s rights prevail—my child’s right to leave school property without being accosted by a leashed dog, or a dog owner’s right to bring the dog onto school property? I haven’t complained to the school yet, but I have a hard time believing dog owners don’t know that their dogs will try to jump on kids. In this case, I placed myself between my daughter and the dog, and the owner jerked the leash back, but not before the dog tried to sniff my crotch.


Sounds like you need a shower or change of pants.


Why do you say that? Did I do something wrong or offend the dog?

Or… walk without the dog


Go step in dog poop.


Good one! 🙄
