I’ve been a member at my local gym for about three months now. In the last few weeks I have gone from never seeing a dog at the gym to seeing one almost every time. Is bringing your dog to the bouldering gym normal? Am I the weird one for thinking it’s strange?

While these are all sweet pups, I can’t help but wonder why people are bringing them, especially at busy times. I would never dream of making any sort of big deal about it and I don’t hate dogs, I just find this to be an unusual place to see them and have some worries about safety with falling climbers. What do you think?
