I take her in the car with me. But the only place I take her inside is Tractor Supply. She’s allowed and we use the dog wash station there. Plus when she goes on car rides I don’t leave her in the car. Usually the drive thru or delivery to the car. She gets a pup cup when we go for a coffee drink. I’d’ never try to take her in Walmart or something like that, she’s not a service dog and I think she would be overwhelmed.
She loves the car rides though.
@tonylegrone@chienfou My previous dog (cattle dog mix) was like that. Super friendly with people, good with cats, goats and poultry, but aggressive around other dogs. My theory was that since we encouraged her to chase coyotes out of the yard (and away from our livestock) she took her job seriously and applied the same behavior to other dogs.
@lisagd22 Oh he’s the sweetest best good boy to people and children. He’s just a maniac to other animals. He was about 8-10 months old when we found him (lost in the woods, not a shelter), which is apparently too late to get them socialized well. We took him to a dog park a few times and he did ok, but we weren’t able to go consistently and he grew out of it quick. We had two cats when we got him and they were his pack and that was it.
Many moons ago I worked retail pharmacy. Drive thru, no worries we had treats that we provided (not the company the employees). Inside people would bring them in anyway. A pharmacy is a medical facility keep your tiny barking machine out. 2x a dog took a in our pharmacy. Who do you think they expected to clean it up? Don’t bring animals of any kind where they do not belong. Stop it.
Good to hear a few of us don’t take our dogs in grocery stores, pharmacies, or other places they really don’t belong. Pet stores, Tractor Supply, etc are fine when they allow it, just please leave them at home when you go to Wally World. Real service dogs are fine but how many times have you seen dogs in shopping carts lately?
@BioBill
Yep. Unfortunately the rise in “support” animals and the restrictions towards asking for documentation about service animal use make it a hard path for many businesses to navigate.
My two dogs just turned 2 this week. The dachshund is a handful and loves everyone. If allowed he’d run to everyone and roll over for belt rubs. The pom is very reserved. I have been taking them with me to run errands lately to get them used to it. I’ve come to really love drive up pickup at the market and Target. Saves me so much time and I can go right after we go for our walks. They love the car but I only allow them inside pet stores. .
@Fuzzalini
Good for you.
Of course, in this day and age, taking your pet “to the store” but not actually bringing them inside while you dash in for something will likely get you an encounter with the local constabulary.
False. Dogs don’t belong in a lot of places people bring them.
@yakkoTDI
I definitely agree. Unfortunately far too many people don’t!
I love dogs. I’ve many (6) of them my entire life.
#But they are pets, not humans.
And for the love of Buddha, keep them out of grocery stores!!!
@haydesigner Come on, don’t you love stepping around poop while shopping?
Thank you for the ‘no dog’ choice!
@ratman
Finally
My (late) doggie did NOT like going on any trip at all.
bitch is so whiny in the car i dont bring her as many places as i’d like
If Lucky counts (despite being an airwolf), then absolutely yes. Literally everywhere.
Well, I don’t get invited everywhere SHE goes…
@phendrick Oh man, you’ve been missing out on some crazy fun times!

@remo28 Same with my late dog. She loved going for rides. It’s got to be boring being home all the time.
My wife’s dog only goes on long trips or to pet friendly houses.
Can’t even bring mine to a dog park because he’ll bite the other dogs. Rescue chow mixes are difficult.
@tonylegrone Funny, my rescue Chow mix was super sweet. I guess it depends on the mix and why they were in the shelter.
@tonylegrone
That’s for sure. Thanks for being responsible enough to realize that though!

My Dogs Love The Car!!! I just don’t take them into stores.
Dogs drool, Cats Rule!

When I had a dog I took him everywhere I could. Restaurants were chosen based on how dog friendly they were.
@kittykat9180
I have no real problem with dogs in an outdoor space at a restaurant like a patio or deck. I do however dislike having them inside.
@chienfou I agree. I love dogs, but some places aren’t appropriate for them.

False! Pet Rocks are not dogs.
