FabSwingers.com forum: Dogs in Pubs

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

Last night we went out to a pub that allows dogs in. As soon as I opened the door 2 or 3 Labs came charging over and one jumped up me.

I was wearing a dress - actually the same black and white dress in my photos, and had stockings on underneath. The right stocking was ripped by the dogs claws leaving a massive hole, so I had to go to the toilet and take my stockings off, to return quite embarrassed not dressed the way I had originally been. Ladies I'm sure will know if I'd planned to go bare legged, I would have moisturised etc beforehand, so not good.

On returning, no-one came over to apologise and my leg is still badly scratched and even bruised. From mid thigh to half way down my lower leg.

The owners attitude was dreadful. If I had been responsible for hurting anyone directly or indirectly like this, I would have been so apologetic. But sadly it was almost like it was my fault.

We live in a rural area and I've no problem with people having dogs with them, but wish they'd control them better and respect other people a bit more.

Yeah I would of been fuming too tbh!

My local when I was 18 was on the outskirts of town, the owners had 2 huge German shepherd which were always in the bar and lots of customers had dogs but they always behaved, and I know if they didn't the owners would of been asked to get them out x

If that was my dog I would have been mortified! I mean the dog was just being friendly probably and I love dogs. But if it was my dog I would have in the very least apologised profusely, offered to buy you a drink and to replace your stockings.

Pubs are for adults (and maybe a well behaved wammel or two) not someone's guard dog or ferel, snot nosed, half chewed chip wielding offspring....is there no place to escape to anymore?

To add insult to injury I'd been saving these stockings for a night out with John. They were seamed, which I rarely wear / even more so in public! and had lovely lacey tops and fitted a treat. I think they cost nearly ten pounds and I don't treat myself that often on things like that..

Hey ho...jeans next time

This!

And personally I'd rather see dogs (kept under control and well behaved) than Unsupervised, hyper kids running riot and causing chaos and mayhem for waiting staff. A good pub dog is great. Unruly kids treating a pub like a playground while their parents get pissed on a weekend afternoon have me walking out and finding the next watering hole!

Obi I couldn't agree more. As I said it's all about respect I think for yourself and others. I have been congratulated before on my children's conduct in pubs. Bit difficult on one occasion when I was with family and my sisters kids were running riot around the place. Mine had to sit quietly at the table. Still they are young teenagers now and a pleasure to take to any restaurant.

Unfortunately most dog owners think their dogs are loved by strangers in the same way that they love them.

I was sitting in the local park one summer having a picnic with my then partner. It was spoilt by a dog that came over and was sniffing around the food. The owner was laughing and not doing anything stern enough to coax the dog away. It was quite clear that we were not amused and in the end I had to tap it on the nose to warn it off. The owner went off quite miffed.

I don't like dogs, but dogs like me. I find it quite intimidating when one comes tearing towards me and get really cross when they owner tells me I'm being silly for being scared.

I understand people not liking young children in pubs but you don't run the risk of getting your throat ripped out by one of those. Well, not often anyway.

I used to take my Jack Russell to work at my shop with me. Most the time customers didn't realise he was there. One day I had a couple of Muslim gentlemen come in and asked me to remove the dog from the shop.

I prefered to remove them!!

Not a pleasant experience for u n yr stockings I concede BUT I love having dogs or cats in pubs n would even happily return to the days when they were admitted to restaurants. We have made society so antiseptic these days.

When I was a kid many dogs were let out in the morning for the day as owners went to work n u often saw dogs in the street which as a dog obsessed child was great for me. I appreciate we shouldn't go back to that with the current amount of traffic n bla bla bla but it was an idyllic time n as an only child I often 'palled' up with a dog

I was almost attacked last week in a beer garden. I was making my way to the bar when this dog appeared from under a table. It had no lead on and just ran out barking and lunged towards me. The man and woman just sat there with grins on their faces but fortunately their young children had more sense and got hold of the dog before it attacked.

Yes regrettably it's usually irresponsible ownership n lack of effort in training their dog is to blame. There are very few 'rogue' dogs around.

Pubs should be for everyone, a long as they behave, whether 9 months, 9 years or even 90, and if they have 2 legs or 4

As well as the owner being responsible, the landlord should be too, as he should be ensuring that his pub is a friendly welcoming place

I think you have every right to be annoyed, I certainly would be. I was on my way to visit a place I'm applying for a job the oth.er day and sat on a bus seat which turned out to be covered in white dog hair. So my black trousers were too. Was so embarrassing. I don't have a problem with dogs on buses but don't think they should sit on the seats.

I hate that - I don't care if your bloody dog is 'nice and friendly'. I don't want the bugger all over me. If I want that I will get a dog of my own.

When I had my dog he was on a harness when out as I knew he would scare people even though he was a softy. The thing is people were not to know that and they should feel safe when out in public and not intimidated by someone else's mutt.

I would have insisted on some compensation if the stockings were £10. Cheeky barstewards!

I dunno why folk take kids IN pubs cos within minutes they are bored n then restless. A beer garden is fine for them but INSIDE a pub there is nothing to keep them amused n then they get jittery. A restaurant is somewhat different cos they are occupied with eating - altho I've seen kids running loose in restaurants toooo

The owner is legally responsible.

The Landlord is responsible for your safety whilst you are on his premises.

Because a lot of people saw this happen but stood there and said nothing making me feel even more uncomfortable. The owners were in a clicky group. I just turned around and went straight to the ladies.

It's also not in my nature to make public displays. Probably why I frequently feel hard done to I guess. Perhaps I should come visit miss-stress for some "no one fucks with me training !"

I would have been so apologetic if that was my dog and I would have offered you a drink and replaced whatever the dog had damaged. If someone did that to me. I wouldn't have minded that much if they offered their apologies and replaced whatever clothes they damaged. However if they done that to me and didn't apalofise or anything I would have kicked off big time and if the dog left a mark on my skin. I would have definitely reported it. Harsh maybe, but if owners can't co from their pets. They shouldn't have one end of.

"why would you take your dog to the pub anyway?

Being 'dog friendly' is a badge of honour in certain pubs in Glasgow.

Why take your dog to the pub? Both pubs and dogs are part of your life - a part you enjoy sharing with your pals (and dogs are a great way of meeting new people).

No excuses for bad behaviour in dogs. Like kids, if they can't behave there should be no treats.

On a brighter note, the Ben Nevis Bar in Glasgow has produced a dog calendar featuring just some of the regulars.

Google Ben Nevis Dog Calendar for more info.

In the same way that 'some' is a sweeping generalisation.

Dog owners accept their dog as part of their family. ... comparable to a child. I'm sure that they wouldn't expect a stranger to not like their dog just as they wouldn't expect you to not like their child.

for us our dogs are from their erspective and how they are treated, part of our 'pack' and they know their place within that..

thought it was a debate..

shall i take your response as having no valid point to add to the debate, hence your assumption..

btw i dont deem this that important to have to resort to using an insult..

you are being pedantic in saying the use of the term 'some' is a sweeping generalisation..

by any definition its clearly not..

As I said I still stick with most.

Take 100.

.........................

None = 0

Some = 1 to 99

Most = 51 to 99

All = 100

I would imagine 51-99% of dog owners fall in the category I described. I have no proof that they do but you have no proof they don't.

no 'proof' but a clearer opinion based on years of ownership, training and contact with many others usually twice daily than an imagination..

I take my kids in a pub, but for a meal not to just sit and drink. They sit and read a book or draw and colour with the things we take with us. They are 5 and 6 and very well behaved but I'd never take them to a pub to just sit and have a few drinks, that would be very unfair.

Social courtesy for both kids and dogs is all thats needed, simple!

Ps still have bruises and scratch some 10 days after this happened. Not good.

I agree when kids act like that. What happens? Parents tell them to calm down, etc. So why not do it towards pets? Basically they are lazy/stupid people who shouldn't have pets and this is the reason why. Although look on the bright side. You could have been another victim of a fatal dog attack.

Well done you! I'm VERY pro dogs n had a show kennel n have judged at crufts. Almost all problems re dogs r due to a lack of training by lazy owners. Almost any dog can be an integrated member of 'society' if only the owners would bother to put in the effort

Hi! Well by virtue of the fact you have considered not wanting to disturb others tells me you're not likely to fall into the category of careless dog owner.

In my opinion , it has little to do with pubs ?

This is about a bad dog owner, this could happen anywhere and its the responsibility of the owner to prevent such events occurring .you deserved more than an apology if damage was caused to your property they should compensate x Oh and I love dogs and i like them in pubs it's people I have issues with x
