What are some pet peeves when it comes to dog owners?
I swear, some of them can be pretentious douches.
shareI swear, some of them can be pretentious douches.
shareMorons who have small children and dogs and then act shocked when their children get attacked by the dogs. Letting their dogs shit on other people's lawns. Offendees should be allowed to shoot them for it.
Oh and women who carry around those silly little toy dogs and treat them like babies. What do they think they look like !?
^this^
sharePeople who don't understand that the most important thing, the #1 thing, is socialising their dogs so they're safe around people (including kids and infants) and other dogs.
Obedience, agility, none of those things matter without this foundation.
Yep. #2 is training. Nothing will make your dog happier than to know how to please you ;)
Untrained dogs have been done a Terrible disservice.
My biggest pet peeve about some dog owners are the ones that have a friendly dog that wants to socialize with you and they scold him and pull him away because they want all the love!
I love dogs and am suspicious of people that don't.

Doggy people are nuts. Then so are animal lovers generally.
YEAH...ANIMAL HATERS ARE THE SANE ONES!
shareGood old knee jerk Kowalski, always going to the extreme. Because you're not an animal lover doesn't mean you're an animal hater.
I'm glad I never felt that way..You lose out on so much. You really do.
And there's nothing nutty about loving dogs or animals. Many animals naturally elicit this response from humans unless.....something happened to make them phobic.
Not picking up poop!
shareI have a next-door neighbor with a Great Dane. I feel bad for the dog. The guy never plays with him or takes him for walks. He chains him out front for a few minutes a couple of times a day. He's never trained or had the dog trained, so the dog barks at anyone he sees anywhere on our block.
Naturally, the dog craps all over the yard. The owner refuses to clean it up (per city ordinance owners are supposed to do it every other day - although I'd be happy if he did it once a week), even though I've talked to him nicely about it. I finally started reporting him to the city. Now he's mad that he has been reported (he has been fined for it in the past!) but he STILL doesn't do it. Gah!
Houses here were built on small lots in this older part of the city, so yeah, it's kind of a big deal when he doesn't take care of this. The dog crap piles are only about a dozen feet away from my dining room windows, so you can imagine what it's like during warm weather with open windows (no AC).
I hate it when a dog gives its butthole a good licking then tries to lick my face. Ew!
shareCan dogs lick their own butthole though? I thought they do that to other dogs.
They say a dog's mouth is cleaner than human.
I'm sure that's something that can be explained more clearly. A dog's mouth likely gets a lot more fresh air than a person's, but a dog also likely gets into a lot of things that in the short term would be harmful to people, so I wouldn't just assume one should prefer to french kiss Fido than Rachel Weisz.
shareTHAT A HOT THREESOME THOUGH,BRAH!
