Well I can't really speak to that since I don't know. But I will reiterate that not wanting the dog around is completely reasonable. For myself, I probably couldn't even go to a therapist who typically kept her dog in the office. Because I wouldn't want the dog there, but then I wouldn't like feeling like I had deprived her of the dog she wanted. And the whole relationship wouldn't work for me! Seriously. So I think your request is totally reasonable.

Wow I know a lot about my therapist because I know him in another context in the community. I know he had an affair on his wife and so on. I have mixed feelings about it because although I know more about him than any of his other patients (he has said I do) it just confuses me as to his role in my life at times.

Amuseable, if he is the affair type then he is no stranger to lying. I would run if I were you.

I mean this in the nicest of ways but I doubt that his other patients know less than you do. Maybe not all of them but I'll bet some of them do.

He's destructive, mean and probably shouldn't be a therapist...
