Anytime someone had a dog with them, the dog stayed in the car. I never had to "handle" the situation, as people just knew it wasn't "kosher" to bring in a dog into a home that's not their own without advance permission.

Yes. I had a couple try to bring their puppy to a tour of homes and I said not in my car, not in any of the homes...I asked them to take him home or follow me and leave him in the car at each stop. They took him home.
Never dealt with it but that one time; most people I've encountered seem to "get it" without having to say anything.

Yes and they typically have someone with them that keeps the dog on the porch or walks the dog down the street. I would never tell someone to leave the dog in the car - NEVER!
Too many 'service dog' incidents and sometimes, I am confident we are being tested with regards to this topic. I did have a buyer that always brought her dog and always had someone who would stay outside with her dog. She was never in a home more than 10 minutes and would go back out to 'check' on her dog. She was really checking 'in' with her dog who was a service dog - he sensed when she was about to have a epileptic seizure and warned her. I will never question service animals, nor their humans after that experience!

Real estate is local.
Luna has been to so many properties.
She has been welcomed on Tour of Homes and stayed in the car except in vacants during which I held her (long ago when I could)
In someone's occupied home? No. Not even a question.
An open house? Can the pup fit into your bag? Otherwise, only with seller approval.
I agree with Eve. I'd rather an obedient dog than some of the banshee demon seed children out there. Wolves woulda done a better job raising them!
But it is up to the owner.
When I took my CCSS course and it was at the Kingman AOR conference room for a week, one of the gals came in from Vegas and stayed in a hotel for the week with her lil Pom. Moloney approved the pup and she stayed in her bag and snoozed till breaks for potty and treats. A dollbaby.

Yes, I have held Dog Friendly Open Houses in vacant properties with the seller's permission, of course! Also, some buyers bring their pups and leave them in their vehicle with one of them or the engine running. It is rude to simply bring a dog or dogs into someone elses home but can see it happening with the self-entitled.

Hi Jeff - once or twice but the dog stayed in the car. If they did I'd firmly say, sorry absolutely no dogs allowed in this home. If they persisted I'd say it again but thank them for coming. Happy to arrange another showing when you've got a babysitter for the dog.

I have a couple of times on showings and a few times at closings. On the showings, the dog was carried and the seller approved.
No one barked, pooped, kicked the back of my seat, got candy on my seats, or fell in the pool.
I will take a dog over kids anyday...
Eve
PS: and one of the dogs really did pick the house...the buyers consulted with the dog and the dog perked up. Fun day...

I am personally ticked when people bring their dogs to such events, unless they are truly service dogs (which are obvious due to the blindness or obvious need of their owner). People are using the law of truly needy people to treat their pets as children. It makes me very, very angry. The rights of owners of homes to keep their property pet dander free is being abused by selfish people. I don't have an answer, unless the law changes and we really learn what "pet vest" is legitimate for truly needy people.

Hmmm, most agents hide in the family room at the back of the house without greeting folks as they approach the front door. The 'entitlement mentality' of pet owners make their actions all about them and their need for attention and the hiding agent finds the critter and caretaker where they should not be.
A recent blog on AR was about bringing in the adoptive pet to see if the pet was comfortable in the house. Are you seeing my point?
My rule to such folks are the dogs feet shall never touch the floor or grass. And I meet everyone before they enter the house.
I know folks who have a uncommon FEAR of dogs and others who are super sensitive to critter dander. And all of us know home owners who care not a whit to clean up after irresponsible, entitlement minded, pet owners.

It's up to sellers.( ask at time of listing if they have any objection to pets being in the house). ( usually, if it's not a service dog, it can wait in car or outside if it's not too hot). I've never had any problem. Kids are usually more of a problem than dogs.

I don't recall that ever happening. I guess it would depend on the situation; some people tote their tiny dogs around in Louis Vuitton Never-Fulls & it's pretty clear the dog's under control. I think you also have to take into consideration if it's a Guide or Companion dog; Service dogs are licensed to be by their owner's side & there's not many places they can't go.

Jeff ~ I have had a couple of people bring their pets into an open house and they have to carry them the entire time... if they are going to tinkle it should be on the owner, not the sellers carpeting. I would never deny a service dog, but (heavily abused) emotional support might be another issue.

It has happened. They either have been a couple that has taken turns viewing the property while the other member holds the dog outside or they have simple held the dog in their arms while viewing.
940,461
I would have to ask them to keep the pup outside unless I have permission from the owners to allow the pup inside. Some people have allergies or have babies crawling on their floor. It is not appropriate to bring a dog into a person's home without permission. Plus, what if the dog bit someone?
