This.
I have more problems with some dog owners, than the dogs. Dogs that are well trained, are not a problem in public. But so few dogs are well trained.
That said – we take our dog for walks around the neighborhood, and sometimes for walks on the beach (before 9am when they must leave) but the dog stays home when we go out to run errands or eat. I don’t understand why you’d bring your dog with you to Lowes or Home Depot… to ask them advice about paint colors?
