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

Dog whistle? They're silent to humans. Disguise as a fake cigarette maybe?

Get your own car you bum!

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.

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.

Dachshunds beg to differ.

Yapping doggies get replaced with more yapping doggies when they die. Flee.

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.

We all know this is the best dog.

A horseshoe crab?

border collie > german shepherd > blue heeler

OP: just ask yourself, is 10 minutes of an annoying dog worth your relationship?

Coolyo294 wrote:A horseshoe crab?

Yes a horshoe crab.

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...



Look at her, and just try not to go 'D'aaaaaaawwww!'.

Surely you jest! Tails are temporary, homie crab is forever.

Never said he should settle. Yeah he could walk but its all up to how he views his girlfriend... you know, pros n cons.

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.
