Dog-Friendly climbing areas?

I believe the dog haters should all just stay at the gym, there is about a million things to bitch about in this world(and maybe even DO something about) and dogs ruining anyone's day is pretty low on the list. If a dog bugs me I just kick it in the head or ass and it always leaves me alone, very simple really. I'm bigger and smarter than any dog out there, how about you?

I take my dog everywhere its legal period, you dont like it stay at the gym.

Now back to the subject of the thread, oh yeah, I gave my suggestions already...

edit- I do not like people that take their dog outdoors only to tie it to some tree and leave it, that is lame as all hell. Train the stupid K-9 to behave or leave it in the turd infested yard you probably leave it in all the time. Better yet, dont get a dog if you dont have the time to train it.

Gone to the dogs

Owners do not clean up after or control their pets. How much food do they steal? Plenty. Anyone been threatened or attacked? YES Has a dog died at a crag? YES but it saved a climbers life. And how about there un-environmental friendly digging and chasing wildlife.

Why are there never any cat-climbing crags? I cherish the moments I can leash up Mr Bigglesworth and send him...I mean let him send like a vicious lion. Slap a gri on him and he belays like a purry pillow of cotton.

Dog haters, most climbing areas are in areas where dogs are permitted unleashed, if not, then I simply mention it to the owner. Cost: free.

It is more often that I find trash, cigarette butts, roaches, beer cans, shit and TP hastily put under a rock, urine filled caves, Illegal fire pits, and so on ad naseum, than I am troubled by a dog or two at the crag. Climbers are as much guests to the wilderness as their dogs. I'm guessing the damage caused by dogs is negligible unless people are regularly driving a dog team to your crag.

That being said, if I see anyone harming an animal, domestic or wild, or trashing a public area, I report them, and make sure they're to be prosecuted under the full extent of the law.

I love this topic, and I hate you.

I kick the shit out of dogs who piss on me or my stuff, just as I would its owner.
I kick the shit out of dogs that steal my food or any of my belongings, just as I would its owner.
I kick the shit out of dogs who shit next to me or my things, yup, just as I would the dumbass owner if he were to do the same.
I kick the shit out of dogs.
I kick the shit out of owners.
I kick the shit!
Yes, I'd say this to you at the crag.
Yes, I'm a badass dog-beatin sumbitch who'd rather be in jail than allow a dog (or an owner) to mess with his shit.
I will beat yer ass!
Ass!

Okay, so I'm relatively new to this site but I've been out in the mountains for some time in various adventures and have a few things to say here:

First off, for the person who is trigger happy...that's a good way to get yourself in trouble with (a) the law as its a felony in California to torture, injure or kill an animal punishable by up to three years in prison and heavy fines no more than $20,000 as is the same for the tough guy who likes to kick, and (b) not to mention what might happen with the owner of the animal and their rights regarding protection of life and property.My dog has been part of my family, not just as a pet but a member of the family and I promise I would protect it the same as any other member of my family...

However, I do believe people with dogs have a responsibility to properly train their dogs and take every measure to adhere to applicable laws. That being said, I have seen far more damage done to climbing areas by humans than dogs. Not to mention you do not own said areas and it is the right of climbers to bring their dogs should they decide to and its allowed under the area's regulations. If you don't like it...leave!

Hopefully all climbers will be courteous and respectful of one another but all these posts about dogs not belonging there or threats of harm against animals is rediculous! The law is the law and hopefully common courtesy will dictate appropriate behaviors...

For the record, I and many people I know take our dogs out to various climbing areas without issue. When a problem arises, people talk civilly to resolve any conflict...no animal abuse, no threats against one another or weapons being drawn.

Some people just don't know how to play nice...

P. LaDouche .... I agree, if your taking Fido out let em run around, nothing worse than one who is mistreated by idiot owners.

My good buddy Mo.

Mo went every place with me, the leash usually stayed in the bottom of the pack. A 10 mile Mt. Bike run every am really does the trick, keeps en "calm and submissive".

EmilyFox.... just visit places off of the beaten path and you will have "No Problems" avoid National Parks.

I guess the whole world hasn't gone fucking crazy after all. I have been attacked by dogs a few times at crags and boulders and of course the owners always say... wait for it...

"What? My dog wouldnt do that!"
