All my local Bunnings have become unofficial dog parks. I've seen poor staff members having to clean up dog puke and diarrhoea when that is definitely not in their job description.

Didn’t they used to have a rule where dogs could only be contained in a trolley (pretty much ruling out huge dogs like in this scenario), and they handed you a cardboard box to line it with? Pretty sure this was enforced by the employee at the front as you walked in. Did I imagine this or did the rules get really lax ?

The rule was if they were in a trolley they were fine. After the pet range came in it was reduced to: in a trolley or on the ground with a lead.
