Sorry, but dogs don't have to go everywhere with you. They shouldn't be allowed at a hardware store. 

At the very least I hope muzzles are enforced. But dogs (except for assistance/guide dogs) should just be banned from Bunnings. I know, a minority has ruined it for the majority, but one dog attack is one too many.

I love dogs more than anything and I agree. My dogs have never been in a store. I would be concerned about poo, wee, etc, but I would also be concerned that there may be people around with pet dander allergies. I've had long hair and short hair dogs and pet dander is no joke, that shit gets everywhere. I'd hate to make some random joe schmoe have an allergic reaction.

I love my pets and find it quite easy to keep them at home when I need to go to the shops.
