[nagdu] How to Take Your Pet Everywhere

[Dan Weiner]

I think you shouldn't be so judgmental, live and let live--smile.
I've been with the opposite, people who are so correcty and strict with
their dog that it made me uncomfortable but the bottom line is it's their
dog.

If their behavior or their dog's behavior is a problem, you can either:
1. ignore it.
2. talk with the guy and see

3. don't keep company with him.

Hi all.
so, i have a question for you all.
what if i am somewhere and am with another blind person with a dog but, they
are allowing their dog to misbehave?
here is an example; A couple months ago i met a friend for dinner, she
brought a friend of hers.  we all 3 had guide dogs.
both of ours are well behaved in public, however, the friend's dog was not.
the dog was standing the entire time, wandering around, out in the aisle
between the tables, seeking attention, sniffing and eating things off the
floor etc.
i said to the man; "your dog is up."
his answer; "oh, that's ok.  he's fine."
me; "do you ever make him lay down?"
him; "no, he's fine."
now, techniqually, they could ask him to leave, even though that dog had a
harness on.  
i have seen this sort of thing very often.  dogs up, wandering around at the
end of the leash, putting their heads in my lap, licking me, etc, and, the
handlers do nothing.  IMO, this happens way to often and makes things more
difficult for those of us who actually use our dogs to guide us around and
whose dogs are well behaved.
i almost wish that these folks would be tossed out of a few places.  maybe
that would help them learn that they must control their dogs.
i am certain that, at the schools that they went to, they were not allowed
to let the dogs behave that way.
any suggestions?

Vivianna
