My rottie pup loves the pet store! He has learned the word Petco and runs to the car when I say it.
The only problem is that whenever he comes we end up spending a lot more then we planned to because my dog wants everything he sees!

my dogs go every where w/me. If they can not go I usually do not go either. However, I live in Europe, and the only place my dogs can not go is to the grocery store. I feel like my dogs are a part of my family, and should be treated that way. When I go out to eat the waiters bring my dogs water and a raw meat. They sit beside my leg or under the table, and eat nicely from their bowls. If I visit a friend, and they do not allow dogs in their home, my dogs will stay outside in the garden with fresh water, and run around. I actually have a station wagon that I bought as the vehicle I drive my dogs in. It is dog safe, and keeps the other vehicle still looking nice, and smelling fresh. I love my dogs very much, and they are always welcomed to be beside me.

Sure do my yellow Lab goes every where with me. He likes to see the other dogs and socialize and pickout his own stuff. We go once a week and it is always a blast. He likes to go any where I go and he is funny because he knows how to get places and about two miles before the pet store he starts crying out of excitement.

We take all our dogs at once and believe me it's a quiet a challenge. Luckily all three of them fit in a cart - 1 full size corgi and 2 mini corgis. Our first attempt at walking all three dogs in and a shopping cart was a mess. Leashes became tangled, one wants to sniff a dog, the other wants a treat, so now all of them ride inside the shopping cart now.

My german shepherd LOVES SHOPPING!!! I walk him down the aisles and let him pick out what he wants. Now that he is getting bigger I usualy take him straight to the kong section, It is much easier than picking the toys out myself. He knows instantly what he wants. (a couple weeks ago he picked out a jumbo jolly ball and I let him carry it around as I walked around.. By the time we made it to the register he had already torn it up.
I also take him with me to the mall, and nobody says anything because he behaves and they assume he is working. But he sometimes gets curious about things on the shelves...
It has also helped socialise him around people

Yes, My boys go with me. They have a ball and the shop owner knows them by name. Also he has a beautiful black Lab named Henry that they love to play with they all run around the store. So eveytime we go each comes home with something they have picked up in their mouths.
Or something Louie (the store owner) has given them.
OH well! LOL

Of course haha....I take my Jack Russell shopping all the time. She goes everywhere with me. She is obsessed with toys so she always picks out what she wants. I usually have to let her carry the toy around the store with her. She always knows where to get the treats too.

Generally not, unless the weather's been crappy and she hasn't socialized for a while. She doesn't pick her treats and toys like some dogs do... She is more interested in picking up scents=) I think she likes being surprised with gifts, anyway. In fact, I am convinced.

my dogs love going tot he store with me. I enjoy taking them because it teaches them manners and socializes them to many different people and other dogs. They also have to learn a little self controle with all the smells and whatnot... it's great!
and if they are good, i do let them pick something from the chewie isle or a new ball from the bottom shelf on the toy isle.

I want to bring my dog to Petco the next time I get up there. I never have before though. The only problem is that my dog is really skittish and doesn't like the car because she thinks she is going to the vet. =p
