I was just wondering what people's opinions are on taking their dog on the school run.
I usually take mine on both school runs as we walk to school and it's convenient. Mine is quiet (so I'm lucky) and I make sure to tie her up at a place where it's far from the gates so children don't walk past her to get to school (primary). If she was a problem I'd leave her at home and walk separately.
A fellow dog owner complains because the head teacher quite reasonably tells her that her dog is loud and scares children. School staff have a duty of care for children, so a yappy dog jumping at children is definitely something that should t be allowed. I just bit my tongue instead of replying, but I really think the dog owner should leave her dog at home if it's scaring children, but I know it won't. Owner also is in denial as they blame parents for their children being scared of her dog.
