[nagdu] Really? Haunted House?

[Sherry Gomes]

I wouldn't take my dog to a haunted house, but that's something each individual would have to decide for themselves. In a way, I don't think I would want my dog to be rock steady and ignore people screaming, you know. There are things I want my dog to feel sensitive about. I've taken my dogs to some concerts, but there are others I would never consider taking them to. Haunted houses are just not something I think would be appropriate for my dogs. But I have to admit, I have no interest in going to a haunted house either. I never did, not even when I was a kid. I never really understood where the fun was in purposely letting yourself get petrified and scared in a haunted house. I didn't like scary movies either, not that I was afraid exactly, I just didn't understand the draw. I probably have a number of things I wouldn't do with my dog that others would do without thinking twice about it, and that's cool. It's only for each dog handler to decide for themselves and their dogs what is best.

I agree! I didn't even read the thing! I figure that we go in there to be scared! And, that is good sometimes but dogs! They don't get it! I guess if you trained them but that would take a lot of time. My dog is pretty laid back but I can't even imagine her in one of those things!

I thought my voice over was making up stuff when I read my Nagdu digest this morning. I have one thing to say…Come on man! Really? Do you think your dog knows what is really going on? Do you think your dog knows what is play, what is fake and what is  real? How will your dog respond when strangers scream , grab you, come at you with loud chain saws?Do you think your dog will enjoy all of the stimulation or will it stress and bring him/her anxiety?  Do you think your dog knows that if you scream or if others scream around you that it is not legit?  I know  taht we want to be able to bring our dogs anywhere we want to go. I understand that we want to experience things like anyone else. However,  with our rights and wants, come the need for discernment, wisdom, and reasonableness.Are we considering  what is best for our dog? I hope that if you decide to put your dog in such an enviornment that you please strongly consider the risks and affects that may occur to your dog. is it worth dramatizing your dog and compromising his future work so a few minutes of scares? Come on man.
