Mans best friend! On site??

[Arran Turner]

Ive seen over the years dogs on site, with domestic landscapers and tree surgeons

breeds mainly being springers and lots of jack russels.

 

What do you guys think of having a dog on site or do any of you have one?

Just wondering what peoples opinions are?

 

Im not thinking of getting one by the way, can just look after myself...

I've seen some dogs on site that were proper liabilities. My thoughts are that no dog should be outside of a vehicle while work is going on - dinner times and break times are fair enough though but no fun for the dog.

love taking my dog on forestry stuff,private gardens not so much,ends up crapping in front of clients or chases their cat!!

My staff goes everywhere with me he guards all the gear in the truck he is very protective over it, but as soon as he is out he would not hurt a fly.

It depends on the job and the dog. If we're at the yard he comes along, if we're working in the Botanic Gardens he doesn't. Have to be well behaved too, my Huntaway is more than happy to sleep in the truck. We're working by a beech today clearing scrub so he can come along! He loves it!

If a trades man brought a dog to my house when doing a job for me I would send him on his way.

 

I really don't get how people think its acceptable????????????????????

If the dog is trained and doesn't get in the way then fine I guess - but I wouldn't do it. The way I see it it's one more thing to take your attention away from what you're doing and in any work involving chainsaws you really need to be 100% mind in the job.

When i worked for the local water company i used to take one of my spaniels with me every day, he could run around thier sites as much as he wanted. But he stayed in the van if i went to a customer job.
