Hotels have weight restrictions.. not breed. But it usually "weeds out" what are considered agressive breeds.
If I were to rent, I would make sure every dog had a CGC cert. and temperment evaluation from their vet - and current proof of vacs. CGC ensures the dog and owner have had training. Not every dog is meant to live in an apartment complex with tons of kids and other dogs, not every owner knows better or will accept that truth. Breed..not the issue for me. I think a golden could do some serious damage in a bad situation as much as a doberman or pit could.
I was doing an event this past weekend and a guy walks in with huge pit with a muzzle...that his dog keeps pulling off. He announces to all of the frightened people around him that his dog loves people but hates other dogs...yet he brought his dog to a pet store with other dogs. Total fail. He isn't smart enough to figure out his dog hates it there, but I'm supposed to take his word for it that his dogs "loves" me? I'm standing there attached to the biggest dog in the store...who is now staring at his dog because he's a sighthound and thats what they do...which his dog is now taking as a sign of aggression... so he's the proof that people are the problem and the dogs are the problem. Both problems easily solved - leave the dog that does not travel well/like other dogs/like kids/feel secure and is able to remain stress free in a foreign environment at home. And people need to accept that their dog may not be suitable for the dog park, the hotel, the pet store, or even a stroll around the block. Create a safe environnmment for the animal, and leave it there....don't drag the poor thing out to be confronted by what it feels threatened by. The dog that jumped the fence? I completely blame the owners. Fences come high enough to prevent that and can be solid so they have no idea a dog is on the other side. The dogs territory is what it can see, not where the fence ends. I have a high-prey drive greyhound, he does not go to hotels, pet stores, dog parks, or even walks.... he has a house and a backyard and thats it. My fence is 5' and has slats and landscape blocking. My neighbor 2 doors down has a tiny semi-agressive terrier/chihuahua mix that has no collar and runs loose. I already warned his owner that if his dogs comes into my yard it will be killed faster than I can get the "stop" command out of my mouth. So who would be to blame? Me..my dog... or him?
And Kipper and Tizette...you ready for the kicker? The guy with the pit was at the store because he needed some supplies for his new pit puppie...which they bought because they thought the full grown un-neutered dog-aggressive male pit with the muzzle that keeps pulling off would love and guess where the puppy is? Being carried around
inside his 5 year old daughters jacket.
I was trying....desperately...to get close enough to talk to him ..... what a freakin' horror.
In the OPS post, I declare all dogs unfit for a hotel stay!
Beagle is a nuisance to other guests by vocalizing his displeasure for being left alone in an unfamiliar hotel room (who can blame the poor guy!) and the pits who bit him were loose in a room with an open or unlocked door? Owner fail! A maid could have walked in ...then what, she/he would be fair game?
(sorry - OT!)
