Annoying and crazy dog owners

This question sent it to the NYT about an apartment neighbor's dog's incessant barking has inspired a lot of people in the comment section to vent about what a common noise disruption it is. I've also noticed a shift in the past 20 years with how dogs are treated/thought of. What do the people of DCUM think?

NP: You're posting to a pet forum about how people are bad dog owners.

That's because it's the most fitting forum for my question. Dog owners who feel triggered by this question can feel free to ignore

Yes, a title like "annoying and crazy dog owners" is sure to provoke a thoughtful, constructive discussion.

OP, step away from the computer. Go outside and enjoy the beautiful spring day.

OP where do you live? What's your experience with dogs?

So you want an echo chamber?

Yes, a lot of them can be annoying and entitled, and aren't used to ANY pushback about their dear pets and their pets' right to make obscene amounts of noise/chaos for other people. Many dog owners are really thin skinned about this, as the reaction in this forum proves 🤣

Gotta agree with the commentator who said "99% of dog owners give the remaining 1% a bad name." Great article and comments!

OP why are you posting this? Do you have a dog? Are you considering getting one? Are you a dog yourself?

I agree you're looking for a fight, OP, with that title and premise.

I hate barking. I have a very silent dog. But I understand, none better, that unless you're ready to put a electronic collar on a dog (and I'm not against them, they're great tools in the right hands), you can't really stop a dog who wants to bark.

Np You should be against them. There is no "right hands" It is cruel plain and simple. It is like saying using a belt on a child is ok "in the right hands" No it isn't. When trying to stop a behavior you need to look at the why it is occurring and get to the bottom of that. Some dogs do bark more but,if they are properly exercised mentally and physically and not left alone they probably won't bark.

You have to figure something out. Or keep your dog inside 24/7 where only you can hear it. It's simply the height of inconsideration, as all the comments on the New York Times point out.

OP sounds annoying and crazy.
