Its a tricky one really, some people love dogs and some hate.

Would help bringing a puppy when pricing work for female customers

ALL depends on the job I think, my collie comes everywhere with me but NEVER outside when using chainsaws/chippers etc and most of my customers are rather fond of him as he is well behaved and friendly, but I know what the limits are and him cr''p'g on someones neat lawn is unacceptable.

What did you do on hot days?

 

Air con, had to have the engine running anyway to run the pto jetter.

My lab comes out with most days, but I always ok it with the customer. If she's got to stay in the truck all day she stays at home.

 

Some people just don't like dogs, and busy roadside jobs are a no no, as are most commercial sites.

 

We are pretty rural down here, though.

Cool

 

Although I do think he should stay in the van . Just my opinion and I have 2 staffs .

 

To be honest mate he does stop in the truck when i am working and if its anything to do with threes he has to else we end up with half chewed up wood everywhere. When he is at the yard he keeps getting ash logs out and chewing them up he must of got through a cube in the last 8 weeks .

My spaniel comes to work most days, if im tractoring he is in there with me. If im doing yard jobs i'll tie him up in eye sight of me. he is happy just sitting there watching. If we're in the woods with machines running, he is never ever loose whilst people are working.

What did you do on hot days?

 

I take my lab and border terrier pretty much every day. I live up north and we don't get hot days. They both stay in the van until brew time and dinner.

Take my dog to work every day, never had problems with customers at all, they are always happy to see a dog out and about with us. She stays in the truck during work time and runs about at breaks etc. Never had any negative feedback about having her with us, actually it's quite the opposite.

ive been taking my lab with me since she was 8 weeks old and shes nearly 3 now so well used to it. generally shes in the truck or tied up to the towbar, on a private job i always ask permission. on the estate im working on at the moment i let her run around quite a bit (im not felling just scrub clearance at the mo), the owner doesnt mind, and she doesnt go far. also she knows not to come near me when the saws running!! shes part of my essential work kit, i always feel a but lonely if i have to leave her at home:blushing: (i do work on my own!)

Yes quite, and the kind of people who moan about you having a dog despite us being respectable are the same types to not bring tea out:glare:
