[nagdu] Fw: Proposed Act Regarding Service Dogs fromthe stateof Maine.

[Cindy Ray]

I'm not sure what this would have to do with the act. If your dog wagged its
tail and inadvertently broke something and if they thought you weren't
controlling your dog, they could currently ask you to leave. Of course you
would have an argument that this was not fair. I suspect some places would
charge if your small child snagged a dessert. Certainly if they snag
something in the grocery store, if you can't put it back without damaging
it, then you have to pay.

Just being a Devil's Advocate here, but is it appropriate to ask a customer
to pay for a dessert a dog snags when the desserts should be out of reach of
dogs and small children?  :)

I mean, would you like to be charged for a piece of china your dog's tail
might break in a china or gift shop because your dog wagged its tail and
knocked something to the floor because the aisles are too narrow, or the
shelves are too low?

Cheers,
Dudley, with Michener

Well, I think there should be some common sense.  For instance, if you walk
into my restaurant, and your dog snags a dessert off the dessert tray, I
would probably tell you that you had to pay for the dessert.  If you didn't
correct the dog, make the dog sit, lie down, or whatever, I'd say that your
dog was not in control and yes, misbehaving.  If, on the other hand, you
walk into my restaurant, your dog attempts the snatch from the dessert tray,
you correct your dog, then hey, the dog is being a dog, but you're dealing
with it.  The other day, my little "precious" and I say that in quotes,
tried to jump up on to the front of a reception counter at my eye doctor.
The receptionist kind of gasped, I corrected, and made Neena sit, and all
was well.  I don't blame the young lady for being startled.  But she could
see that I dealt with the situation and that then Neena behaved herself.  I
knew that she had started to misbehave, and dealt with it accordingly.  But
this is the difference between a dog that's trained but still young and
stupid sometimes, and me being fully trained to know what to do rather than
some pet owner who never went to an obedience class, or anything.  Kind of
the same 
with children, but I won't go there.  Lol.    Debby
