Oh, of course I know it exists and have often witnessed it. But it's quite some time since I witnessed any kind of obnoxious drunken behaviour *in* a pub.
Having said that, a couple of weeks back I saw a lad pass out in a fairly genteel pub on Saturday lunchtime because presumably he'd been on a bender into the small hours. They had to call an ambulance - which is something I've never seen in a pub before!
The last rude/obnoxious and unwanted behaviour I witnessed associated with a pub was at the door of one I was trying to pass. The rude obnoxious doormen stood in my way and told me I could go in the pub. Which was an interesting statement given that it would require a shotgun up my left nostril or something similar to persuade me to even consider going through the door of that specific "hole".
If you consider that the offending items ("people" would be stretching things a bit) were probably allowed in I don't doubt bad behaviour does occur in there.
Yes, given that doormen are supposed to prevent trouble, it's interesting how the pubs that have them attract trouble, and the pubs that don't have them tend to be trouble-free.
We are just about to go to print with a new Cumbria real ale guide (when I have completed the maps!) and we have included dogs allowed? in our surveys.
Lots of walks here!!

Animals, like smoking, have no place in any establishment where food and drink are served.
As for "screaming brats", some children have been brought up to know how to behave in social situations - which is more than can be said for some adults. Honestly, I have far more trouble with ill-mannered adults in pubs than children.

More dogs are than adults.

That is great. I will get a copy when you have completed it.
