Taking Dogs to Petco or Pet Smart.

[Angelhalo]

I understand that dogs sniff each other's butts. I will continue to take my dog where he is allowed but I will not stand there "wishing". I will tell the dog owner to heel his dog when he enters my space. If I were to stand within 5 inches of you while you were putting your groceries up on the conveyer belt, would you mind? Would you just say, "well its a public place, if I don't like it I will say home?? Or would you say, "excuse me, you are crowding me?"

I would say oh well it's a public place, because telling the person to back off is RUDE. I would assume that you have a different personal space bubble than I do because we're all different.

Maybe I'm just a doormat Southerner to some people, but I don't think telling people they're crowding me, is very nice.

Actually personal space for most people is 18 inches. Unless you are in a crowded elevator, a person standing within 18 inches is WEIRD, aggressive or both. Think about it. If you don't believe me, try standing within 18 inches of a stranger next time you go shopping and see what kind of reaction you get.

Are we really spoiling for an argumentative debate over how dogs act at PetsMart?
