Thanks! yes she will definitely be leashed, just while she is still a pup I want to take her to as many places as possible to help with socialization

Ugh maybe try a dog park??
lwyant225 OP t1_irvm8ru wrote
if a place is dog friendly what is the issue with bringing a dog? am I missing something?

It's a fucking pumpkin patch. Why take a dog there?

We found a dog-hater ^^^

Because I think it's dumb that people take their dogs to places like pumpkin patches? Gfy

Didn't you just say dogs enjoy being outdoors? Contradicting yourself.

Dog parks can be very dangerous, especially for young dogs that aren't socialized yet. I have first hand accounts of fights breaking out between dogs.

Do not people not just bring dogs anywhere anymore. I went to the strip last weekend. There were just dogs everywhere.

People bring their dogs to home depot all of the time. Why? No fucking clue, but they do
toripearson_19 t1_irvxhik wrote
I take my dog to Home Depot because she enjoys it. Why wouldn't you do things with your dog that it enjoys?

I liked it better when they wouldn't let dogs in stores.
toripearson_19 t1_irw8fvr wrote
I'd like it better if people didn't bring their screaming children into stores. Good thing is less people are having kids, and more are getting dogs!

Yeah dogs never make a sound or get in the way either.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think misbehaving children nor dogs should go to public spaces with a lot of people. Goes both ways for me. No excuse for either a child or dog to be a nuisance in public.

Your dog doesn't enjoy home depot, dumbass. It enjoys being outdoors
toripearson_19 t1_irvxvgj wrote
You have obviously never owned a dog. And if you have, I feel awful for it. Dogs enjoy being with and doing things with their owners.
Dead_Kings t1_irvy4ai wrote
Lol I take great care of my dogs. I just don't take them to places like home depot because a dog has no business there. You said it yourself, it's not home depot that your dog likes... it's just being outdoors with you
toripearson_19 t1_irvy6ux wrote
Whatever you say dude lol. My dog goes almost everywhere with me. She's trained very well and never causes problems. No different than a child. Actually, she behaves better in public than a child.

Like I give a shit what someone dumb enough to regularly take their dog to a construction department thinks

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You obviously do because you keep arguing about it.
Dead_Kings t1_irvyxc9 wrote
Ugh yea. Thats how arguments work.
toripearson_19 t1_irvz6q6 wrote
Yup. And if you "didn't care" what I thought you would've just ignored me 🤷♀️

Big brain energy

Highly doubtful. Now that I said this you'll probably go off on how "smart" you are 🙄 Really you're just petty and have to have the last word. Especially with such an idiot response as "big brain energy". What are you 15?
Dead_Kings t1_irw2avz wrote
I'm just trying to understand your logic. You take your dog to construction departments, I take my dog to parks, trails and places where a dog would feel more comfortable and because of that I'm a bad dog owner?
toripearson_19 t1_irw3kxj wrote
I take my dog to parks and trails all the time as well. Did you really thibk I only took my dog to department stores?? She also enjoys accompanying me other places too. I don't see how it's dumb to take your pet places they're allowed to be if they're well behaved and comfortable. If your dogs aren't comfortable in Home Depot or a pumpkin patch around a lot of people, that's fine, but don't go telling others they're dumb for doing so. My dog is perfectly comfortable in big crowds. I need to pick some spackle up at Home Depot, hell yeah I'm going to bring my dog because she would enjoy that more than being home alone. I want to get some pumpkins? Also yes, she'll come because she'll enjoy sniffing around and exploring. You have no right saying a dog doesn't belong somewhere because you think it's stupid, but then have no concrete reasons on why it's stupid. Now, if there's a dog at Home Depot being a nut, peeing on stuff, not listening, etc, then no, you shouldn't take your dog to those places. You have to use proper judgement, just like you should've taken more thought into splurting out its dumb to take dogs certain places before taking into consideration many other factors. I don't like kids in public places, but I don't go telling those parents their stupid for bringing their kid out to a restaurant.
Now that I know you have dogs, I apologize for saying I feel bad for them. I'm sure you treat them well. Keep in mind every dog and owner are different. Your responses come from an opinion you hold and just make you seem very unknowledgable about dog ownership, socialization, and stimulation.

Eh, maybe I'm just old fashioned. It's all good

Yeah I wasn't trying to make an enemy today lol. Just as someone who has worked professionally with dogs for 5 years, your comments got me real heated 😅 Everyone's different.

Will second Simmons. Took our pup there, nothing dog-specific but he was allowed on the hay ride and at the pumpkin patch /flowers/games

Went to Simmons this weekend and there were leashed dogs everywhere. I am guessing they were on the hayrides but did not actually see it in person.
And important word here is “leashed”.
