Hey everybody, Im raging right now and I seriously need to get this off my chest. I don't know why but this infuriates me to no end. People who treat dogs like humans, or in this case better than humans, her own children in fact. Now honestly, I love animals, but this sort of thing I find insane and completely illogical. I know a woman, (not naming names) who has a maltese/poodle Mix dog that's about 2 years old, and it causes me to rage so bad. Every morning they have the same routine, which sometimes I become a part of, so I'll share this experience with you.

Everymorning during the week this is what the morning ride consists of.

-get in small blue car
people in car include: myself, my girlfriend,her two sisters, and her mom. along with the dog.
-drive to pick up 2nd dog to take to the veterinary hospital in which my gf and her mom works, also where the eldest sister gets off to do God knows what.
-drop younger sister off at highschool.
- arrive at my Gf's work. thats it.

Normally this would be no problem, but that dog they have.... it burns me up inside. Every stop we approach the dog starts going Apesh*t, barking, crying and the highest possible volume, its so horrible, I feel like throwing that Dog out the window, or Vulkan neck pinch it lol.

Now with other families and dogs, I assume, it would be easy to just yell at the dog or something and train it to shut the hell up and settle down, but not with this family. For reals the mom treats the dog with more respect than her own children, one false remark or action about her dog and its like you murdered the dog right in front of her. So as you can imagine the frustration I feel when I can't do much about it, and the dog is just allowed to yap constantly.

well thanks for giving me a chance to vent it really has been bothering me despite my efforts to ignore it.

How would you Handle this situation?
Is there ways to disable/subdue the dog and its anxiety outside of killing or destroying this dog? lol

And have you guys experienced and or experiencing something like this? I'd like to hear what you guys think and how you deal with it.


Thanks again everybody

Im working on saving up I promise!!! but until then I'll have to put up with it whenever I stay over at her house.

You should just get out now. This will eventually lead to a confrontation and I don't think you will win with these ladies over the dog.

Then stop dating chicks with stupid little dogs if that's not your thing.

Regarding what to do in your situation, the best thing to do is just leave it's that bad. I'd drop a girl quick if I had to deal with something like that.

Got a similar story myself, sorta. My mom picked up this chihuahua from some guy when it was young, and I must say while I love dogs, I do not love that dog, and for what it's worth I tend to hate that breed entirely. It's a mean little bastard that does the whole wait til you turn around to try and bite you, or bit you if you have to pick up something off the floor. Mother, in all her wisdom, does nothing and even thinks it's cute sometimes because it's a small dog and it can't really do any damage. Plus giving it a thump is bad because it's apparently made of glass and will shatter with the slightest touch. So all this leads up to a dog with terrible manners and aggressiveness issues, and she won't do anything about it. When I tell her what she should be doing to correct some of it's problems, she says she's too tired. She's always too tired.

So, giving up on trying to help the dog, I do everything in my power to aggravate it to no end. All life is precious, but I will smile the day that wretched thing eats it.

Also, I've come to the conclusion that if you own a chihuahua, you're generally a bad dog owner. I've met several people who owned and breed them, and they were all ill tempered little runts. Oddly enough me and Pomeranian get along just fun, but most small dogs I can't stand because of behavioral issues that just seem to infect them all.

Medium sized dogs are the way to go, little yappers are an inferior breed.

So it's really impossible to just ignore this little dog?

I hate my neighbor's dogs as they yap nonstop whenever you walk near the fence (most often when I am feeding the chooks.) I just chuck the chook water over at them, resulting with a wet dog and a smug me.

n0t_u wrote:So it's really impossible to just ignore this little dog?

To the OP: Seriously man, just run. And if you meet another girl who carries a little dog around with her in a purse, just keep running. Have some self-respect. You don't need this type of crazy in your life. You can do better. I know you can.

I know not what that dog is, but gaze yer eyes upon this clearly superior example of doggie genetics: The Dorgi (Corgi/Dachshund mix)

exercise
discipline
affection

in that order!

If I can punt the little yapper then chances are it deserves to be removed from the dog family tree.

So you think he should settle? Its not like they're married. He could just walk. The situation will escalate when the 10 minutes plays out everyday into the future.

Horse shoe crab has nothing on coconut crab. When you need to knuckle up you know coconut crab has your back.



Also, in regards to blue heilers, I've had several in my family, and I don't recall anything terrible about them. We had a few biters but dogs will be dogs. I remember for fun after school I used to try sneaking up on ours at the time. The sand covered my noise, and some days I'd get close enough to give her a suprise hug, other days I'd step on a leaf, swear, and have dog tongue in my face before I knew it.

good times.

Since we're posting pictures of our dogs...

No I love retrievers and most dogs, I just hate small dogs because they tend to be abnormally hyper, have too high-pitched of a bark, aren't as fun to play with and are easy trip over/crush.

pppfffttt derailing huh....I say...you almost hijacked the thread lol

I suggest arranging for the car to accidentally reverse over the dog in the drive way after which you there can be much comforting and make up sex - and no dog.

There is a collar you can buy that you put on the dog and every time they bark it sprays them with a mist to teach when not to. It works well, my mates dog used to bark all the time until they got this spray thing.

Also makes for excellent pranks if your bark is good enough, just make sure you hold it the right way towards the person you are trying to prank.

I guess you just don't understand. You're less important than her dog. Don't be mad. Its the natural order of things. At least her Dad isn't walking around with a shovel and a shotgun...not like some Dads...

While Team Wienie is naturally superior, TBone has told me to note that wiener dogs get along with all their canine breathren, although they will be befuddled when they ruhn across a dog smaller than them. I've seen it.

They work, just got to hope the dog doesn't get too used to it and start to like it.

Hmmmm will have to replace the water with mace then.

I think they had some sort of citrus spray.

Moartiki wrote:one false remark or action about her dog and its like you murdered the dog right in front of her.

If she yells at you "like you murdered the dog right in front of her" every time you yell at the beast, then why subject yourself to repeated agitation? Just murder it once (preferably right in front of her) and she will stop yelling at you.

Option #2: get a better girlfriend. Preferably one without a dog and with bigger boobs.

As much as I hate dogs (and I do), I still have to cringe at the suggestions of animal cruelty (intentionally running them over? geeze!) in this thread.

Hey, it was a joke. It would be much easier to put it in a sack and throw it in a canal.

Apparently my pet control advice was judged to be in poor taste even though others suggested similar gruesome ends for the pooch.

In any event I apologize to those who may have been offended.

A more serious piece of advice would be that the OP should either; suck it up until he gets his own wheels, find someone else to carpool with, eat loads of beans, garlic, onions, and asparagus and make the inside of that car a war crime.

Or maybe make friends with the dog, take it for walks, give him little treats when he is good.

This has the added bonus of smoozeing up to the (maybe) mother-in-law, which would most likely make your life better.

Seeing as you lady friend works at a veterinary hospital the chances of your coming into frequent contact with the more audible members of the canine species are very good. Resign yourself to this or move on.

I was complaining about animal abuse in general, not your post in specific lol....

So you're the 'sleepover boyfriend', you show up at mom's house, lurch about, presumably eat their food and then stick your devil in her daughter each night (if you can muster the effort...) and then this woman actually drives you around and you have the blind fething audacity to complain about her animal making too much noise as you're being chauffeur-driven about the town?!?

You shiftless loafer.

Perhaps find something worthy of whining about in your life. You do seem to have a natural talent for it.

You think you have it bad, my parents adopted a chihuahua about a year ago. The stupid little thing yaps non-stop when we bring it inside, pees on everything, and follows my large and agressive female dog around drinking her pee and trying to mate with her. I only put up with him because he came with a very sweet basset hound.

Dogs *puke*

Hate the slobbering things.

Not to mention he doesn't say what happens after he and his girlfriend get dropped off at her work. He must be that guy that hangs around the strip club shooting pool while his woman struts...

if it is this bad already just get out of the relationship


anyone who treats their dog better than their own kids has mental problems to begin with. She also has a poodle mix, which also points to mental problems.

Im glad theres so many of them today, because when the APOC really happens, Im going to enjoy eating scores of the foul beasts for dinner. Im with you man, just wait till the owner is sleeping, and kill that fething thing while youve still got the chance. And do it as brutally as possible. Infact, make it look like a botched robbery, and that precious little gak got caught in a crack fiends crack rage

Yes I know he says that, but otherwise there's nothing to indicate this is actually the case given the description. After all, the woman is running a free taxi service for him and all the daughters which seems pretty generous.

Maltese, best breed ever. Most I've met are naturally not yappy in the slightest. The way you punish them is by ignoring them for about a minute, then they walk up to you and roll over to submit. Super cuddly and playful at times, the perfect balance IMO for a lap dog.

Acctuailly drinking chocolate is the best. But dark chocolate is 2nd best then milk then white.

Two options

1) Deal with it.


2) Break up with her.


Is the girl worth dealing with the dog? Yes? Option 1. No? Option 2.


It's not your dog and you have no right to do anything to "Subdue" or "Disable" the dog.

Part of growing up is dealing with gak we don't like. If you don't like it, leave the girl.

Ouch that hurt, now let me explain more, Im seriously not one of those loser boyfriends that takes and takes from the family and mooches off of them. She only takes me along with them because the mom wouldnt have to drop me off anywhere different, I go to her work (veterinary clinic, not a stripclub lol) and just walk to my grandmas house which is about 20 minutes away. where I then go to college. Also, by the off chance the mom actually gives me a ride somewhere, I always pay for gas and such. Kinda funny how it seems people would think of me as that lazy boyfriend you would see on Maury or Jerry springer lol. I work, buy my own things,Im usually the one buying her presents, and paying for things when we go out, not to mention actual groceries for her home and to be honest I do the most work in our relationship when it comes to getting around with rides and such until I buy my own car.

Now when it comes to the dog, its usually pretty quiet around the house,except when it comes to strangers coming around. But in the car it always tends to start freaking out from Anxiety which apparently the dog has.

When it comes to my girlfriend and my relationship, I wouldnt give it up for the world, she seriously is like...perfect for me atleast, and it would be dumb to throw it away for a dog.
I appreciate every single thing they do for me, but I just needed to get this frustration with the dog and morning car rides off of my chest. Thankyou dakka for that opportunity

Also, get a car and/or job.

I have a Job as a Chef and a Dietary aide at a Skilled Nursing facility. its just a matter of time and saving before I could get my own car, already have my Learners permit as well, but need the car itself to learn to drive and get my own license, since my own parents refuse to teach me until we get insurance on our 2nd car which we are still paying off.

Seeing as you lady friend works at a veterinary hospital the chances of your coming into frequent contact with the more audible members of the canine species are very good. Resign yourself to this or move on.

She actually gets as frustrated as I do with the dog, along with her other 2 sisters, but the mom will not allow them to do anything about it.

Op, just leave. I don't know the extent of your situation, but get a cheap apartment, and a bicycle, and start from scratch. The way you make it sound things are extremely stressful. You can't let this poison your life.

Only real stressor in this relationship is the dog in the morning, which when driving I'll usually just ignore and keep my frustration to my self, I dont physically yell at the dog or do anything.

@subduing/disabling the dog, that was just a joke, I really just wanted to see if there were anyways to calm the dog down during the car drive when it has its "episodes"


I'm 19, Live with parents, I work and outside of financial aide I'm paying for everything, I think Im doing pretty well for someone my age considering everyone else. I truly believe Im not this dead beat some of you think I am.

Rodney the wonder wiener dog has opined that dogs believe in tangible friendship. Very small dog treats miught do wanders to calm the dog.

Peanutbutter in its mouth will keep it quiet for awhile, and its a nice treat

Dogs go berserk for peanut butter

@Kingcracker, Frazzled,

/MaximumFacepalm I can't believe I've never done/tried that before with the dog treats, I'll gladly take that whippy stick and end it now haha.

I'll give it a shot next time, and I'll let you guys know how it went.

I worked with a guy that everyone called Peanut Butter, and he was very quiet, and he ate PB all the damn time. Coincidence? I think not

Remember small treats or PBand J bits as dogs gobble. Instead of the whole thing at once just a little nip at a time. It might work.

Post a picture of girlfriend.

It is impossible to suggest best course of action without it.

The point was if she is super hot then deal with it. The dog will die sooner or later. etc.

Sounds about right.

Introduce that dog to Nancy Leider. That will shut up any dog.

How can anyone dislike or hate dogs!????????
thats extra heretical!

I'll never bribe a dog to be nice, leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Either a dog is nice and thus good, or a dog is mean/annoying and thus bad.

To the OP: When you get dogs like that, its the times you wish you could just pull out your bolter and yell "RAPID FIRE MOTHERF*****!"

But yea, what the others say, move and forget about shooting... then throw your D6 and RUUUUUN!

Even after all the crabs/internet superiority complex I still see only a few options.

A question for the OP. How old was the dog when the mother-in-law acquired it? Was it a puppy, or fully grown, or a couple of years old?

It sounds to me like a past owner took the dog for a drive, then ditched it where it couldn't find it's way home again. Now every time it gets put into a car, and the car stops, it panics because it thinks it's gong to be tossed out again. My parents adopted a dog like that; he gets carsick unless he has his carrier in the back seat.

Oddly enough, he doesn't spend much time in it; he just knows that it is his and since it's there, he's not getting tossed out. Ah, well. Dog's minds (such as they are) are strange things.

Give me a cat any day.

they got it straight from being a puppy, theyre good friends with the family who had them, so they got them as soon as possible. the moms just psycho me thinks. I guess it just comes with the territory of having a girlfriend.
