But...why? Why would you do this?
It is "allowed" to burp loudly in restaurants, but it is irksome to other people, and crass. So...do you do that too?
Is that any different than many children in restaurants?
Yes, it is different: children are allowed in restaurants because children are people. Your dog is not a person. Home Depot is not a dog park or vet's office: many people who are allergic to dogs, or just don't like them, need to go to Home Depot for the same home essentials you need, and your desire to "socialize" your dog does not trump their discomfort at having your animal inflicted on them. It is weird and selfish to take your dog to Home Depot, and I can assure you that many people who see you there are thinking this. Taking your dog to Home Depot is so selfish and entitled.
I have a pet I love, but I can't believe people are equating dogs to children in this thread. Yes, children (ie, people) are welcome in more places than are dogs (ie, animals).
Oh, it absolutely does, since it's in their policy that I can bring my dog.
Sorry, not sorry.
You have an issue with Home Depot's policy. Take it up with them.
...and, for the record, my dog isn't inflicted on anyone. She stays at my side the entire time. If that's too much for the allergic, they should live in a bubble. Seriously. (And, I have a ton of allergies, so I'm not unsympathetic.)
The question remains. Why do you need to take your dog to home depot?
It's allowed. End of story. You can order on Amazon, or go to another store, if the occasional dog at Home Depot bothers you THAT much.
You seriously need to look up the word "civility". It's not a question of "allowed" vs "not allowed".

Again: it's allowed. This is your problem, not mine.

Oh, as for the kicking - I recognize you. You're the nutso who likes to post violent fantasies about what you will do with dogs. I feel confident that if you were as violent and arrogant in real life as you are online, there would be videos of your cruel behavior and subsequent arrest all over the internet.

No, YOU don't understand. I don't like being around dogs, and I don't care that you are inflicting your animal on me in an attempt to "socialize" him into better behavior. You are presuming that the people who dislike dogs would somehow nod in understanding and change their attitude if they understood that taking the dog in their presence is part of your training process for your dog. You are wrong. I have hated dogs since I watched one rip apart my pet kitten as a child, and I don't ever want to be around one again. Last year, someone let their yappy, drooly little mutt accost me in the street and jump on my leg, so I kicked it in the belly so hard that it was thrown back, yelping. I hope I really hurt it. I hate dogs soooooo much. I hate seeing your dog, and I hate that you bring it places where one would not logically expect a dog to be (Home Depot).
Honestly we're just not that worried about you. You are choosing to go places where you might encounter dogs. This is your obsession, not ours.

Easy: if my dog bothers you, stop coming over.
Next?

"Need." There is no need to do it. I do think it's good for her (socialization and training), and I enjoy it. If she didn't behave wonderfully, I'd never take her (as that's no better than someone's bratty kids kicking your airplane seat/restaurant booth). If you weren't looking to be annoyed by a dog, you wouldn't see her. She doesn't bark, and she stays at my side.
