I have two dogs and I occasionally take them to the crags. For me, it depends more on the crag than anything.

Here, when I climb, it's often just my partner and I. Something a couple other friends, so the dogs are fine with everyone. The local crag is also a sport area, so we're doing long multi-pitch routes.

I wouldn't take my dogs to climb in a multi-pitch area. I member running into daogs at looking Glass that were cam leashed to the first pitch of the route. I blame the owners, not me.

In some case, it's not just the crag, but also the day. A sport climbing area on weekends, I'd leave the dog at home. The same sport climbing area on a weekday morning, I might take them.

My two cents

Dog's belong outside - inside or where ever they want -- people belong at their homes.
If you are going to leave your home you need to be tolerant.
I don't believe in keeping pets. I have dogs because of human a__ holes the abuse & abandon them. My dogs have seen enough of human caused pain. They go with me when they want.

This morning, as I approached the large tree where the litters are secured at the base of Weeping Wall/Suicide, there was a good sized dog there (some kind of rottweiler blend) on a chain, barking quite forcefully & loudly as I approached. The owners were racking up at the base of 'Surprise', and uttered the usual 'she's ok...she just barks'.

Awesome. They are about to launch on a 3 pitch route, while their barking dog is secured in a location that is impossible to avoid by any approaching party to the most central feature on Suicide.

Someone mentioned it upthread...It ain't the dogs that are the problem, it's the choices of their thoughtless owners.
