Added 2023-02-22 16:06:37 +0000 UTCSorry for all the dog slander on this one lol This story just hit a nerve that's been irritated since I encounter so many rowdy dogs on a daily basis. Can't wait to hear the comments on this one.

2024-10-15 18:47:42 +0000 UTCI let my husband talk me into getting a 12 week old puppy from the humane society over the summer. When I met him, his family had an older dog that they had gotten as a puppy so I thought he would know what to do with one…nope. I only had cats growing up so I had no idea what to do. My husband stayed clueless, while I researched on Goggle and YouTube what to do to contain her. She’s almost 6 months now and still a handful (she’s a high energy breed and my husband ignored my concerns about getting this breed), but she has improved so much and will continue to improve. There’s no excuse for him to not make an effort to train his dog.

2024-09-22 17:54:34 +0000 UTCIf my child behaved that way, I would be an asshole parent. I see this as a sign of the kind of parent he will be. He’ll only want to interact with the child when it’s fun, not when actual parenting needs to take place.

2024-08-22 16:20:58 +0000 UTCI love how he thinks his life shouldn't have to change because she is pregnant. WHAT IS HAVING A CHILD AND CREATING A FAMILY.... change is baked into the equation. Delulu

2024-06-16 20:39:50 +0000 UTCI used to be a dog walker and one of my clients was a pug. Whenever she pooped, she would immediately turn around and eat it. The whole thing, every single fucking time. She was too fast. Ruined pugs for me.

2023-08-10 15:02:27 +0000 UTCMy friends, the issue isn’t the dog. The problem is the GUY. Of course pregnancy is going to change some things! And hello buddy, wait until the baby gets here. She’s trying to accommodate them by getting up early but he’s not doing anything to be considerate. And the dog is only following his lead. He is definitely the ah.

2023-02-25 07:16:42 +0000 UTCY’all omg I agree. That man would PISS ME OFF. On top of being PREGNANT?!?! No fucking way. The man doesn’t know how to behave and so it’s no wonder his dog doesn’t either 🙃

2023-02-23 19:51:15 +0000 UTCI fully agree. However to be a good dog owner, you don’t need to have the “old” mindset of I’m the boss. I have a very energetic labrador german shepherd mix and invested in a lot of training, including dog parks. Dog parks are the best places to train reactivity and communications. Normally dogs are able to diffuse almost any situations and we as humans need to be able to read their communication on when they need support. OP seems like he is just actively making the dog crazy. It’s time for a new morning tradition of taking a long walk.

2023-02-23 07:57:51 +0000 UTCI love dogs—mine is my baby, but he’s also reactive, and his bark when he’s reacting is scary. I’m working on training but you best BELIEVE if he’s growling at a guest is at my house or barking at kids through the fence, I DO something about it and remove him from the situation! It’s not okay. Also, I have never been more VIOLENTLY angry than when I was staying with people for a couple months and their little yorkie would yip and yip over absolutely nothing and pee all over my stuff. This dude is intentionally riling up his dog to bark every morning?? That poor woman. My head hurts just thinking about it. I have m a n y more thoughts (including a small dogs lack manners rant) but y’all covered this one well😂

2023-02-22 22:13:29 +0000 UTCI LOVE my dog, but I’m a mailman…so I agree with all of this! I have been in so many dangerous situations because people do not care to train their dogs. Unfortunately after years of being chased/bit/attacked I have become terrified of certain breeds - which really isn’t fair to those who actually train their dogs!

2023-02-22 20:34:28 +0000 UTCMy mom is a dog groomer. We live on a farm with three dogs and horses. I LOVE my dogs. But I get so frustrated with untrained, uncontrollable dogs. You need a dog that can fit your life style, and it’s hard to do because some people like a certain breed. But dogs need a lot of attention and training. When I get my first apartment, as much as I love dogs, it’s not realistic for me to have one. If my partner had a dog so loud like that, and did everything in their power to encourage that behavior I’d be livid. Dogs, despite needing to be treated with morality and kindness, are domesticated ANIMALS! They don’t need to be on the couch or beds, and often times shouldn’t be if they can’t behave. I’m very passionate about dogs lol

2023-02-22 20:28:07 +0000 UTCI should also add this wouldn't be my first time fostering too :)

2023-02-22 20:28:02 +0000 UTCYES!! I really dislike people buying breeds just because they're cute and not knowing what they need. This is how so many dogs end up getting returned to shelters.

2023-02-22 20:24:49 +0000 UTCBLEEDING?! And they didnt correct the dog? Yeah I'd be nervous about a little kid too
Two Hot Takes
2023-02-22 20:23:53 +0000 UTCTotally agree with both comments. I won't take on a dog with any reactivity issues. Just a dog that is chill, maybe a little socially awkward, and needs some basic manners.. but I'm not qualified for anything else. And after owning a reactive reactive dog for 13 years I cant do it again lol. I dont do any alpha type stuff.. and I think Ale just meant she draws solid boundaries with her dogs. I'm more on the positive reiforcement vibes.

2023-02-22 20:23:03 +0000 UTCTotally agree with the above, especially if you and Justin are considering fostering, Morgan! Just from the perspective of someone who has fostered and rescued multiple dogs; these guys aren’t blank slates, they have trauma and issues that take a lot of time, effort and energy to work through, which isn’t always the case when you foster as the dog could be adopted from you before you get the chance to truly see any change in behaviour. Also, I have to add, please know the alpha theory is extremely outdated and made me cringe a little hearing you say the word!

2023-02-22 20:20:18 +0000 UTCThe owner is annoying but what really resonated with me is the alarm thing 🤣 not a morning person and even when I find an alarm that’s nice sounding after a while I hate it 😵💫😂
Abby
2023-02-22 19:38:07 +0000 UTCAnother thought is that training is incredibly expensive and a privilege to access if you can afford it. If he cannot afford it though he needs to take training action himself and do some research
Jessica clark
2023-02-22 18:22:14 +0000 UTCThis isn't a dog problem, this is an owner problem. The guy can easily take the dog to a trainer. My dog is my baby, but we don't condone his actions if they bad. Even if he decided to rehome the dog, it would still be an owner problem because he chose not to train the dog otherwise.

2023-02-22 17:53:22 +0000 UTCme trying not to get offended by the pug/corgi hate while owning a pug corgi mix 😭

2023-02-22 17:44:57 +0000 UTCI totally agree with you guys. The only thing I will say is that it’s not always so easy with every dog to train them on certain behaviors- for example reactivity if you have a reactive dog. You can work on it a lot and it can improve but there’s no easy fix training that will make that completely go away. Just like with kids. Sometimes there may be something your working on so hard with your child or your dog, but sometimes they mess up and you can’t control the situation. Although i don’t think that’s the case in this story I just wanted to make that point. I do think he’s being an Asshole and riling up his dog. My first thought was he obviously needs to take the dog on a walk first thing in the am. Or maybe take the dog to doggy daycare during the day so his fiancé can have some peace. It’s odd that he isn’t even trying to work on it.
Jessica clark
2023-02-22 17:13:16 +0000 UTCI work with dogs on a daily basis and I totally agree with you both. Your unborn baby and fiancé should come before your dog. That doesn’t mean you can’t love and spoil your dog you just need to actually respect the mother of your child. People also need to start doing research on the dog breeds that will be the best fit for them instead of getting a herding/working dog just because it’s cute. One of my old clients had two untrained Belgian Malinois that would constantly attack me and each other. They needed a job not a 30 min walk a day.

2023-02-22 17:03:28 +0000 UTCI’m soooo glad I had the same take at y’all! First time I went to meet my in laws their dog jumped on me so much my legs were bleeding. I love dogs I worked with dogs for years but I was so infuriated. Dogs should have manors too. Kinda makes me scared to have a kid and bring them to their house.
Gracie
2023-02-22 16:24:46 +0000 UTCmy mom absolutely adores our dog! she always plays with her, talks about her like she’s family, and when i took her with me to college for a few months she would constantly tell me how much she missed her—like i’m telling you this dog is her life. but i feel like because of that she has always been super good about disciplining her when necessary. take away the argument of the dog being a “dog” at the end of the day; even kids are excepted to learn manners, so obviously a dog should be too!
