I kennel train,

Tell that to some folks. They swear I'm treating my dogs inhumanely

I've never been able to get any of my dogs kennel trained...oh how I wish it would stick though. "They" say the dogs like it, since they are den dwellers, but my dogs have ALWAYS been too co-dependent (I like to thank my wife for that) to want to go to a kennel.

My wife managed a seaside condo, and this past year more than ten dogs came for the winter season. There is a strict NO DOGS rule in all the paperwork. They get an online form for a helper dog, and just show up a thousand miles from home. When my wife gets on them about it they get all nasty. The crazy thing is the on line form is seventy bucks for basically nothing

What some dog owners don't understand is not everybody likes dogs. Some people are allergic. Some people are scared of dogs. Some people don't like getting their crotch sniffed.

Drives me nuts to see non service dogs walking around grocery stores. I've seen dogs take a shit, and piss in the store. The owner keeps walking.

The worst thing I saw was someone brought a duck inside a cart. I went to customer service and told them about it.

They probably just think, hell stores and law enforcement aren't doing shit about looting, I might as well bring my dog.
 
Generations of cigarette smokers feel entitled to throw their used butts wherever they happen to be at the moment. Now we have entitled dog owners thinking their dogs can be everywhere they go.

When I smoked I always put my butts in the proper receptacle. What really chaps my ass is when some idiot dumps their whole ashtray onto the ground at grocery stores etc
 
Our two Akitas go in their crates during the day when we're not home.
And there's only one place they like to go out in public, other than walks and drives, is to the local nursery when they put on their "Dog Days of Summer". It's an event for dogs.

I would never even think of going to a store or restaurant with them.

Have always had dogs. Have always crate trained em. Also trained them to stay the hell off people and obey basic commands. It's a commitment and any decent dog owner (note- you're NOT a fucking dog 'mom) will invest the time to keep their dog from being an annoying POS.
Neighbors don't bother and their dogs bark for hours at a time if we stay outside where they can see us.
They just say, "Well, dogs bark.", ok, fine. I'll train your damn dogs.
Just purchased a motion sensing sprinkler to nail them when they come to the corner adjacent to our yard to bark.
Howdy neighbor, game on.

This is the type of behavior I was referencing in the post I made about dog owners. They get a cute puppy for their spoiled rotten kids who don't have the responsibility to properly care for them. Then the newness wears off and the kids move onto something else and now you have an ill mannered dog that just needs attention and discipline but won't ever get it. They get booted to the back yard where they are out of the owners hair but drive the other neighbors crazy.

I had a neighbor get a dog and it would bark when I was outside. I started spraying it with a garden hose to shut it up. The neighbor was one of the "dogs are supposed to bark" people and there was no reasoning with him.

I wish people would skip buying dogs and find something else to do with their time

Yep. I have very little tolerance for people like that.
Dogs DO bark. Mine do it all the time...about 4 times before I find out why and stop it.
Its funny, part of my dogs training is to maintain 100% calm on the leash until i release them. The neighbor's shit dogs have actually been very useful for me- i walk mine on the leash up and down the fence while theirs go apeshit. I can walk him by their dogs without him breaking stride or even looking sideways. Then I release him and he goes apeshit and gets them even more riled up till I call him.
It irritates the shit out of them because it demonstrates their failure and gets their dogs all riled up.
Told them i was going to do it and they didn't think i could get my mutt to mind. Took about 4 hours of work with him.
I talked to them nicely about their dogs constant barking if we're in our yard. Then I started just yelling at their dogs, "Shut up fucker! Its MY yard!"
they don't take nice conversations or subtle hints.
Now it's time for my solution.
 
"Shut up fucker! Its MY yard!"

This x 100. It's one thing if I'm walking down the sidewalk but if I'm on my property I don't want your damn dog barking at me.

We have a neighbor 2 houses over that will bark at me when I'm in the backyard and we have a pool so we'll see how bad it gets this summer. Hopefully he just gets tired of barking at us all the time.

My FIL has his little "football" dog registered as a service dog from when my MIL had dementia. She is long gone but he brings that dog everywhere, won't pay the extra dog fee at a hotel and will fight them till he gets what he wants.

About 10 years ago I was on a sight and was 1 click and $10 away from getting my box turtle registered as a service animal...lol

my uncle's solution to that problem was a squirt gun loaded with every kind of the hottest pepper sauces and powders he could find, with enough water to make it flow. Hit 'em right in the mouth while it was open to bark.

I have no idea if it worked but it seems fair enough. I don't even mind a dog being overly friendly and excited with me, but I won't tolerate incessant barking and aggression.
 
We had a dog years back, little mutt that was quarter Dachshund, quarter Chihuahua , and half Goddess only knows. Anyway, sweet little mutt that was well behaved - until the next door neighbor got a filthy white miniature poodle that would bark incessantly at anything, everything, and nothing. AND TAUGHT MY DOG THE SAME! We moved away from the poodle shortly thereafter, but our dog was ruined: Barking all the fucking time at anything, everything, and nothing. GRRRR!
