My son loves puppies (and so do I); however, our landlady won't let us get one. I've brought him to PetSmart a few times (the first was just an accident) during the puppy classes so he can walk around and look at all the puppies. He gets to pet quite a few and the owners seem to be just fine with the situation - a lot of them think he's cute (of course, I agree). I never let him approach them unless the owner makes the first move and is happy with the situation. However, I was wondering if this was bad for the puppy's training? Should we not go anymore so that he doesn't interfere with what the puppies are learning? I never really thought of it, as they have the puppies out on the store floor during business hours, but it just dawned on me today that maybe we shouldn't.
