People with dogs should have a bit more consideration

[cuteboots]

Ok heres the story sat in a pub beer garden yesterday with lots of little toddlers running around. Some of them had no shoes on! In walked this couple with a dog who proceeded to wee on the grass area where these children were walking to and from the play park! I have nothing against dogs but I wondered what other people thought of this?

Guide dogs are actually trained to go on hard surfaces..I fostered a pup and his 'toilet area' was on the patio at the side of my house.

shoes on in a beer garden. if the dog was allowed to pee in the fenced play area that is different.

Thank you Ginger, I thought it was other way round.

Jenna (uncles guide dog) is a grass verge dog when it comes to public toilet needs. At home she uses a patch of grass at the back of the shed.

Empty shell already covered most of what I wanted to say.

My dog is a bastard strongwilled one. Luckily, he's far too gentile to pee in front of strangers (he has ishoos) but if he were inclined to pee in a beer garden, I couldn't stop him.

If anyone else wants to try to reason with over 8 stones of recalcitrant canine then they'd be more than welcome to try.

But I'd have a fiver on the dog I that particular battle.

My dog pisses all over when he is excited hence the lack of visitors to our house......he did it so much during his dog training days that the trainer always directed us to the corner where the mop and bucket were kept..

He may be a pissy pants but he is our pissy pants.....

P.S he is a rottwieler so this does nothing for his image..

I'm still wondering what sort of an idiot for a parent allows their child to caper around a beer garden - fag ends that might still be hot, broken glass, spilled alcohol, vomit - in bare feet, and the wisdom of such a brain donor procreating.

Casey Whippy dog does that, but otherwise waits until she is near a bush/tree. Devil Dog true to his usual pain in the arse form pees up anything and everything he sees. We have sucessfully managed to stop him peeing up the dining table/kitchen cuboards/door frames and anywhere else inside the house.

He is encouraged to pee up trees in the park. This doesn't mean he won't pee up the nearest fence post if it doesn't smell right. He no longer pees in shop doorways, which is nice of him Or up the lollipop ladies stick

Ditto everything Emptyshell has said.
Well not verbatim (cos her dogs are not my dogs)but totally agree with the meaning)

My dog peed up my friends luggage bag once .... eeek!!! he was just a puppy, we was on the beach (yes it was the "doggies are allowed on this bit bit! ) and he was claiming the luggage bag as his territory I reckon. Said friend just laughed(genuinely) I was mortified but can laugh about it now.
Said friend is still alive to tell the tale. Said dog still walks around with a "woteva" look on his face
