I thought Germans were more civilised than that.

Dubman I can’t speak for every German city, but Berlin is still a bit different from a lot of Germany. If you go to a more traditional, well-to-do west German city such as Munich then it’s not an issue and the streets are clean.

Berlin still has a lot of feckless people, or ones whose liberal/laissez-faire attitudes also extend to their dogs.

Their note-keeping of it was pretty orderly though. And they did their best to tidy up after themselves…

NasserAlazzawi It depends on the dog.

That’s it. There’s obviously training involved, but some dogs are just better suited for relaxing under a table in a busy environment.

NasserAlazzawi Some of my mates dogs are perfect for pubs etc

This is what dog owners fail to understand.

No dog is ‘perfect for the pub’. About a third of the population would rather they weren’t in there at all (two thirds believe you shouldn’t be bringing your flea-ridden, shite-caked hound to a restaurant) (source: YouGov).

sounds really accurate 😂

Like I said, dog owners blind to what people actually think of their pets:

bosstrabs I wonder in surveys like these exactly how accurate they are - i.e. if it’s an online survey only people who are triggered by the topic are much more likely to start the survey and answer etc

The poll asked about pubs and restaurants, but forgot cafés.

Today in the café I most often visit, there were two people who had their dogs sat up on the friggin’ seats.

No Nas, people are just too polite to tell people to take their rancid mongrel away face-to-face.

I’ve just googled ‘dogs that look like plant pots’

If you’d have said that I’d google that at any point in my life I would have said you were completely insane.

I take it the cafe owner allows dogs to do this.

I did ask one of two owners a while back and he didn’t care that it happens - iirc he said something about having a dog himself and dogs being “clean”…

It’s a bit odd as they generally put a lot of care in to their establishment, but in this case he seemed blinded by his own pathology.

Is there any weeds-baeed peer reviewed research about all this anywhere, Hugo?

Just look at the post a few up - I was already pointing out that it seemed odd and a missed opportunity that the yougov research poll didn’t also ask people about their opinions on dogs in cafés, while they had been asking about similar public places. It also didn’t ask further about if there are dogs in public spaces what if any conditions should be attached to them.

There doesn’t seem to be any other research asking it.

Shirley this narrower field of questioning appeals more to your binary thinking? More options would just create more panic in your frontal lobe?

Dogs in coffee shops / pubs I don’t mind.

But not in a restaurant.

hugopal

Smallman1 what about them sitting up on the actual seats in said coffee shops / pubs?…
